Today, I got denied a job. They told me I was unreliable because I didn't show up for my third interview. This is the same interview they called and cancelled this morning. FML

They obviously wanted to see how committed you are to the job. That was a test, and you failed.

It was a dumb test. Or it was a test of how much of a sap the potential employee was. Dodged a missile there, OP.

Ok now you're just trying to suck up to docbastard.

I never suck up. I do occasionally turn into my primal slime form, however, and proceed to ooze over.

Naw I thumbed this down because I read the same comment earlier, then realised it was from a threadjacker...I feel dirty.

You might consider bringing that up to them.

Perhaps it was the competition that called you, trying to secure the job for themselves.

I was thinking the same thing about a competitor calling you to cancel. It's brutal out there and some people are desperate for work.

um so tell them that? obviously they don't communicate with each other there, which doesn't sound like a company you should work for anyway.

They probably just called or emailed that they missed the interview. It also is in no way a good way to test how much a job means to someone, shy people will be too scared to argue, others will have anxiety attacks just from the stress and be unable to bring it up in person, some people would be too crushed to argue etc. To be honest, that strategy discriminates against any people that aren't argumental or have anxiety problems or are very shy or often just accept what happens in life as it would be politest to bring it up in person and they would just feel unable to do so, even if it was their dream job. If they want to find out how much it means to the person they are interviewing, they should ASK, not employ a stupid strategy to make them 'prove' themselves worthy of it.

It sucks to be unemployed but this doesn't sound like the "Fortune 500" company you'd want to work for anyway. "Forrest Gump Inc." Good luck in the future, one suggestion: From now on write down the person's name, the day, the date and the time of every phone call you get from a prospective employer. Can't get burned that way!

In my experience, most jobs seem to "discriminate" against those types of people. Of course an employer would want someone who's lively and sociable.

You should be thankful. Imagine working there... I can see the boss being a douche and your schedule would always be wrong, your coworkers would also hate working there, word gets around the water pitcher, you all set the date and time, go to the nearest home depot, buy wood planes and pitch forks, burn and poke the building and go to jail for murdering a person and for burning a building. You're saved!
