My Hubby's Job Search Saga
I've always pride myself at my ability to spot patterns. I am starting to see a pattern at hubby's job search saga, or was it all a figment of my imagination? Let me list some (all) of the incidents. The companies are in no particular order and no names (of course) will be mentioned.
(1) Hubby was suppose to have an interview with Company #1 at his first job conference. Co. #1 was late and didn't have time to interview him. Okay. Co. #1 was supposed to be at job conference #2 (held by a different recruiting agency). Co. #1 didn't even bother to show up the 2nd time. Okay. Co. #1 was to have a phone interview with hubby. We received a phone call the morning of the interview, from the agency, that someone was fired from the company that day and human resource was too busy to do the interview. Eeerrrr. Is their human resource a one-man department or was it someone very, very (like the vice-president or something) important was let go that day? We have yet to hear back from said Company.
(2) To interviews with Co. #2. Co. #2 said they'll get back to us last Thursday or Friday to inform us of their decision (I held out looking for a temp job in case we are relocating). No called Thursday. No call Friday. Hubby called them Fri evening. Guy #1 called back after work hours and said he'd call again this Monday or Tuesday to schedule a phone interview with another guy (hereonafter known as 'Guy #2'). No call Mon or Tues. Hubby again called them on Tuesday. Evidently Guy #2's daughter got into an accident and broke her arm. No call from them till today -- interview next Thursday.
(3) Hubby went an took a test with Co. #3 on Monday. Guy #1 (NOT to be confused with Guy #1 from Co. #2) said he'd inform Hubby of the test result on Tuesday. No call on Tuesday. Hubby called them on Wed. Turned out that Guy #1 (of Co. #3) has been sick, and possibly will be out for the rest of the week.
Ugh. And we are not yet taking into consideration Co. #4, 5, and 6 which were supposed to contact us last week and this but has yet to do so. I am starting to think perhaps Hubby was the one who's jinxing everyone. :D Oh well, no loss on our part. The longer the process takes, the more opportunities will open up for us. ^_^
