6 months ago I went in and did the initial interview, talked about my experience at length, my goals, my rate of pay, my expectations and my list of references. I listened to how the process works, what they do, etc. I never heard from that person ever again. I spent the past 6 months applying for different job opportunities that I felt matched my experience and I never, not one time, heard from them about my resume- to confirm or deny. I never knew if I was even being considered.
Finally, I thought, "this is silly, I'm just going to email someone directly the next time I see a name on a job req". So I did. The person got back to me and wanted to talk so we set up a call. I mentioned that I had been there previously and she said that she knew that, and had seen who I had spoken with. We had a nice conversation and then she asked me to come in again so she could explain the process to me. I explained that I had already met with so and so and if she really wanted me to come in again I could, but I had already done that. She said yes and to bring references with me. I was confused because why would I need to bring references with me? You have my file. Well no, we delete them after 6 months. So apparently my name and who I spoke with was on there but none of my information was left. I'm sorry but i'm not going down there to waste my time redoing everything I had already done 6 months ago and letting you call my references AGAIN. I'm already applying other places and the last thing I need is to have my references called constantly.
I told the woman that I wasn't going to come back down again and do this all over when I've never heard a peep from them in the 6 months that I spent applying for other opportunities and said goodbye and hung up.
