Broken website and 30 minutes late for appointment. No response to emails after they set up the interview.

Wow. This guy is a complete WANKER!

45 minutes after he missed a telephone interview, he's on Skype. I ask him why he didn't call. The response:

"...it would have been a good start for you..."

Then he lays into me about no one "confirmed" that they were going to call, and that he can't call direct anyway! So why the hell did he send an email listing 3 times for a phone interview, and asking me to replying with a selected time.

What a douche bag. Full of attitude. A man riding his own private holy cow.

Wavelength, very frustrating! But not unusual for the ME, don't take it personal. I haven't taught in Saudi (my ME experience is limited to Egypt) but the culture takes a somewhat different approach to punctuality. Don't get in a pissing match, just move on Smile

I punched my pillow many times and feel better now.

Moving on...
