I applied online. I interviewed at J. Blanton Plumbing in Dec 2025
Interview
I met with a Marketing Manager named Matt. The interview was very casual, and he seemed nice. Afterwards, they asked me to complete a very comprehensive ad campaign for the company. I spent at least 90 minutes on this presentation during the Christmas period, only for them to cancel the next interview and then ghost me—totally unprofessional behavior.
I interviewed at J. Blanton Plumbing (Northbrook, IL)
Interview
I arrived 20 minutes prior to my scheduled interview, however they were 20 minutes late and only when I stood up to leave, did they take me me back for my interview. The interview went well, and they scheduled me for a ride along. The ride along went very well, I have over 8 years of plumbing experience and I serviced the plumbing calls correctly and without error. I also got along very well with everyone, even though they thought I "looked scary" due to my tattoos and even though I wore tattoo sleeves to cover up as much of my tattoos that I possibly could. So at the end of the day, the hiring manager informed me that he would call me with his decision of whether they wanted to move forward with hiring me or not. Except he never did. I waited a bit and then decided to call myself to get the answer, but was told they were gone for the day, so I called during business hours for the next 3 days and was told the same thing every time, that someone would call me back that same day. However no one ever called. Unfortunately I believe that I am being discriminated against for the way I look with my tattoos. But I am a good, honest, and nice guy with a wife and a almost 3 year old daughter and I know what I am doing in the plumbing field and I am a hard worker .
Unprofessional, unorganized. Was contacted for a phone interview with the CEO. I called into the call at the scheduled time to receive a cell phone voicemail. Apparently their were phone errors on their side so we re-scheduled for the following week. I called in again to the same, cell phone voicemail. No one ever followed up. Don't waste your time.
