Finally heard back from the company that flew me in for an interview over a month ago. Today I received an auto-generated, anonymous email from a "Staffing Representative" indicating that while "many aspects of your background are impressive" there were other candidates whose qualifications were more in line with their current needs. Oh, and I got this barely an hour after I sent an email asking for an update to the HR flunky who had arranged my whole trip, and, by the way, where is my check to reimburse my expenses for the trip?
I'm ok with not getting the job but, I really think if you actually bring someone into the offices to interview they deserve the courtesy of a phone call and an opportunity to solicit feedback if they didn't get the job. See what the electronic age has done to us?
So, the hunt continues.

That is a pretty sad commentary on today's way of doing business. I am sorry you didn't get the job, but maybe with such an impersonal HR dept., you are better off somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteThings always happen for a reason. The right job in the right place will come along. It sounds like you need to invoice them for your expenses. Or I can do it for you on lawyer letterhead
ReplyDeletePenni - thanks! I already sent them copies of my receipts and was told to expect a check in 2-3 weeks, it's now been 4! I figure if I don't get a check in the next week, the next email goes to the VP of HR :) If I still don't get any movement, I may take you up on the legal threatening :)
ReplyDeleteGRRR to that company! I'm sending good vibes to you, and bad vibes to them.
