Interview #24: That went well.... NOT!

Interview #24 happened to me today 9/21/2012, at about 11:30 AM.

I received a phone call from a woman named Stephanie, I remember it ringing. But I let it go to my messages because it was 8 AM and I was tired...
I called back at around 11 Am, and the receptionist had me on hold for literally about 3 minutes, as I checked the timer my phone has.

When I spoke with the lady, she asked me what kind of worker I was. I said I was a hard worker and I always do what I'm supposed to do.
She then asked me what my negatives were; in which I responded Math. I continued to say that "In order to combat it, I would use a calculator".
She said that the job has a whole lot of math and then she started to pause... she said she'd get someone to call me later. In which she said "You know what, to be honest. I won't be calling you back, good luck on the job search".

I was like "Well, that was rude".

I thought that maybe I should have said something before she hung up... after that I just said that I didn't need that job anyways, since I don't like math... it would have been terrible. I then said that I should get back to more important things, like mailing a letter to my friend Donna, it's about a photography contest.

The funny thing is, in the message... I couldn't pick out what the companies name was and so I have no idea how they got my resume. I do think it may be a job I applied for that was a graphic design job, but also has lot's of math involved. Which is stupid because usually artists are terrible at math, finding someone that is good with both is incredibly rare. I only know two people who are artists and good at math, out of thirty people. I hope these idiots realize that.. if it of course is that job that I am thinking about... it may not be though.

Lesson Learned: On occasion, you will have no idea where the company got your resume, or who they are.
An interesting trick is to put their phone number in the search bar on a search engine, and usually links will show what company the phone belongs to... it doesn't always work, but it does work most of the time.

I actually just tried this, and it worked! It is in fact not the company I thought it was, but one I applied for the other day.

If you'll excuse me, I have some negative reviews to make about them on the internet....


UPDATE: I actually sent them something in the comments on their website and I told them how they shouldn't be rude.
They actually called me back and apologized for it, but they said it was someone else that I was interviewed by, not the original person that called me.
