Atleast ask us for tea

I had an interview today. Yeh! looking for another job. The interview time was 10:30 am got there on time and waited for an hour! It's not the first time I have experienced this. Why is it that even after such progress in Human Resource sector, companies can still not manage decent interviews. They will call you one day before the interview, giving you no time to make up a good story to tell your boss. They will never tell you what post they are calling you for, I am a manager but I still have blind HR execs calling me to fill in a Call Center agents job ????. They will call you at 10:30 and make you wait till 11:30. Atleast ask us if we want tea or a glass of water.

I never have people wait when they come in for an interview. But I think it is too much to ask companies to respect other people's time. They think that if they are calling you for a job interview, you have to be desperate enough to wait as long as they please. Well somethings just take time to get better.

I just dont understand!!!
Its odd when they schedule your interview, and you are just informed of the time, and yes, they often do it at a days notice!

Hellooo!! how about asking if its even convenient to show up!

HR is making progress, but they need to make a lot lot more progress on treatment of external people!

hhmm.. after reading this, i can now gloat over the great HR policy my company has :D when we were calling ppl for interviews for a Marketting job, the person calling would first always ask what time would be convinient for them, then get a time from the interviewers and only the set on a time. LoL! But this process wasnt always this rozy, i rem once this girl had to come in for an interview... and the boss had to rush to a meetin.. and in all the hub bub.. we forgot that the girl was coming in :p Now u can imagine what must've gone through the girls mind.. i know cuz she then proceeded to tell us off :S Thank GOD she wasnt hired :p

Anyway, best of luck on finding the job!
