Interview # 11: Have seat please...

My 11th interview was a total disaster, it was in the second or first week in February of 2012.
I found the ad online, it was for a graphic design paid internship; the company was a company that makes seats for stadiums and similar things. The company also mentioned they were hiring numerous people for the graphics department.

My supervisor from my volunteer job was nice enough to drive me there, on the way we talked about interviews and many things relating to jobs.
When I got to the place, I went inside and I waited for like 5 minutes. I noticed the place looked a bit run down, the chair I was sitting on was very sporty.. but it was all torn up.
When I finally got into the interview room, the interviewer asks me how I was doing. Then he breaks it to me... "We're sorry, we had to cut back on people and we already chose our candidate, I tried to contact you but I wasn't able to reach you."
So, I said. "Okay, thanks for your time" Or something like that."
I got back to the car and told my supervisor what had happened, she was surprised that I had came back so soon. I said that I was sorry that it turned out like this and that we had came here for nothing, wasting her gas... in which she replied "Well, you can worry about it for 10 minutes, but then forget about it." she was very pleasant about it, and on the car ride back to work. She was telling me about how the company was looking for a new logo, and how she thinks we should have called them to make sure the interview was still on.

I was very angry at this company, the thing was... they told me they were unable to contact me... But I had given them my phone number over the phone when I called their company, my number was also on my resume. They did contact me one way, and that was to EMAIL ME TWO HOURS BEFORE THE INTERVIEW!!!
I do not go on the computer when I have to go to work, so I wouldn't have looked at it... and we can't look at our emails while on the work computers either.

This company was lousy, they took the cowards way out and screwed me over.

Lesson Learned: Not all employers are created equally, there are plenty of lousy ones that don't do their job right. Some may not notify you that the position you were going on an interview for is no longer available, with their lousy skills they may not tell you and then you'll go on the interview for them to tell you the position was taken already; giving you a HUGE waste of time! Sometimes it's good to call ahead of time to make sure you're still on for the interview.

Tip: Sometimes it's a good idea to call the company to make sure you're still on for the interview, there's only a slight chance they've changed their plans, but you never know.
