So I applied to K-mart as an unloader/stockroom associate and my interview was scheduled for noon the following monday. I went in at 11:40 so I could make a good impression of course and they made me wait almost three hours before someone even approached me. I understand that they can do whatever they want being the 0ne hiring but why make me wait almost 3 hours AFTER the scheduled time? So the interview went fine and they said that they'd call me. I wait until that coming friday to call them and ask them about my interview. When I called I got someone who sounded like they had a mouth full of food or something. I just asked for my interviewers name and told them about my interview so they put me on hold. After almost an hour on hold I got a different manager saying that she had just left.instead of getting pissed that they kept me on hold for an hour to ignore my call I ask if she would be in tomorrow and he said yeah. I called back the next day with almost the same wait time but I got the same person that answered the phone saying she wasn't there and to call back tomorrow. So I called back the next day. Almost an hour and a half wait and a click. So they hung up on me. So I gave it one more day, I called a half hour after that specific manager arrived at work and asked specifically for her and NOT the other person with the same name. So I am waiting and I finally get another person on the phone with me to hear: "She's not here." So I asked if she was in tomorrow (once again) to be nice and not just hang up on them and he said yeah in a really mean tone. After that I said "Oh thank you very much." and before I even got to "Th - quot; they hung up on me.
All in all just terrible managers there. I needed work to help pay for my college. I had a handful of great references and in my opinion, with what I was studying, far over qualified for that position. Oh well. I mean I know that getting a job is hard nowadays but why ignore my application and calls but still advertise that they're hiring? I'm not a smart ass or an idiot at the interview, she was actually really nice and we talked extensively afterwards.
