Volkswagon to charge $2 for using Customer Reps... 06/23/2007 by ITRocks
|
I had an interview with Volkswagon Credit for a sofware development position. There where three interviewers, 2 PMs and the Director, so I was a bit more up tight than usual. Not more that a few minutes into the interview, one of the Project Managers said that they are gearing up to install a new system that would make it possible to charge a customer $2 dollars if they used their customer service reps...

not good enough to entertain your 1-year-old 05/31/2007 by claudiakishi
|
Wasn't having luck with many summer job offers as a college student, since even those are "competitive" today. So I answered a want ad for a lady who was looking for a babysitter/entertainer (basically a nanny) for her 1-year-old for 3 weeks while she and the hubby did some all-day program (I forget what).
Despite this being their first child, somehow they were already living in the richest neighborhood in town... FULL STORY»

Discrimination interview with JP Morgan Chase Bank 05/12/2007 by Older White Boy
|
Was interviewed twice with JP Morgan Chase Bank (In Houston) for a Collectors position by Four Women ( 2 black, 1 hispanic & a masculine looking white female) Even though I had the best credentials & references, I was turned down both times!! Several other individuals who I know were hired & only interviewed with Two Women & they were a little younger & were black!!! I am saying that JP Morgan Bank is using "Age Discrimination" & are "Racist" against older White Males & Females!!! Thanks Lyndon Johnson!!!

Job Search Agencies to avoid - HiProfile LLC 05/07/2007 by Academy Marine
|
Last July 2006 I decided to be proactive and begin searching for a job before my company was sold. Knowing how busy I was I decided to hire a marketing agency to find the right position. After reviewing the options I ended up being sold on the services of HiProfile (hiprofilellc.com, hpfjobs.com). They talked up a great story. I paid a 4 figure retainer and felt I was taking the right steps to be prepared for when I needed to make the move... FULL STORY»

wage based on experience 03/10/2007 by rtfm
|
The job ad stated 'salary negotiable'. I knew the rule was to start high, then come down if need be. At the interview, I had not given my last wage yet when I asked for 25% more per hour. I explained no one in my area had received raises the last 4 years before several of us were laid off, due to slow business. If we had, my last salary would have been re: 25% higher... FULL STORY»

Terrible Interviewers 02/17/2007 by Magicwriter
|
Sometimes you just have to wonder why the interviewers have jobs and I do not. I have been out of work for more than six months, and I have been on many interviews. Most are very professional, and if I don't get the job it's usually because I'm underqualified or overqualified or the position is cancelled. But sometimes, there is just no explanation at all...

Perhaps the most nauseating interview...EVER 02/05/2007 by Janaynay
|
After about 2 years at my company, I was pondering a career change. I got through a couple of interviews with a nonprofit I was very interested in working for. They seemed very interested in me as well.
For my final interview, I was to speak with 3 would-be coworkers. I met them in the conference room and the interview itself went well enough. No nerves whatsoever... FULL STORY»

Just when you thought it was safe to have an interview.... 02/02/2007 by HaveADamnNiceDay
|
Why is it whenever I go into an interview, someone thinks that would be a good time to call my cell phone??? Of course I leave it on silent, but today I was at a recruiter's office taking a test, and there's this buzzing coming from my purse on the desk I'm sitting at. I don't like to turn it off, because then I forget to turn it back on..... It never fails, though! I was at an interview two days ago and the SAME THING HAPPENED! Who was it? Another recruiter...

What's Going On Here 12/18/2006 by blola
|
I seem to have the most bizarre interviews. This morning as I approached the receiptionist, her smile almost blinded me and as she jumped up and down, she complimented me at least 25 times. I felt as though I had won the lottery. When she announced that I had arrived, it was with such uncontrolled enthusiasm that all I could do was chuckle. Then a man I had met briefly in the past gave me a tremendous hug and kiss on the cheek = wow! Could this have been because my hair was blown wildly by the wind or had these people started to hit the egg nog a bit early... FULL STORY»

Going from 7 job offers to being unemployed right before Thanksgiving. 11/24/2006 by ...
|
I was fed up with my present employer and decided to search the job market for other alternatives. I took my vacation time (3 days off Thurs, Friday and Monday of the week before last) and started my search. I was surprised how much positive response I have been getting and how much more money I am worth and can be making. Well, by Friday I had 5 job offers that were much better than my present job...

wage based on experience
Posted on 03/10/2007 by rtfm
The job ad stated 'salary negotiable'. I knew the rule was to start high, then come down if need be. At the interview, I had not given my last wage yet when I asked for 25% more per hour. I explained no one in my area had received raises the last 4 years before several of us were laid off, due to slow business. If we had, my last salary would have been re: 25% higher. As I said this, I noticed the interviewer became irritated. Was this a tactical error? Also, it's possible my demand was over their unstated limit. On the application, I entered the salary range desired as 19 to 25% more than read full story »
