SO here is the deal: Ok, so I interviewed for this job that I would like and from the get go this manager I interviewed for was a total flake. He was about an hour late to the interview, forgot to gimme an application, and has not returned two messages I have left him asking for the status of our interview. I have had it up to here and I am SO frustrated. I dont know what to do. Am I spose to just let it go and assume that it is fate and that if its meant to be it will just happen? Or am I spose to keep taking action by calling this dope ? Or should I go even a step further, contact the company, tell them my situation and ask them if they would please grant me a fair interview with another manager? I mean I just dont know how much I am sposed to leave it to God and how much I am sposed to make things happen and take action you know. ( And yes I have prayed about it and turned to the word but im still confused) I dont know if God is telling me to just forget about it or if I am sposed to fight for what I want...???? Opinions?

Also, do you really want to work with someone so unreliable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LadyC Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 the job is not yours. and even if the manager did call and tell you to come work for him, why on earth would you want to? is this the first job you've applied for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would withold from pursuing it further, as you have already made several attempts. Pursuing further could be construed as harrassment and/or obsessive.

If you" go over " his /her head could you then work for this person without being either resentful or victimised cos no one likes their boss being told that they cant/ didnt do the job they were supposed to do . If you need this job then you need to do whatever it takes and I would suggest that you give one more phone call, be polite and say you are concerned as you havent heard from them and if that doesnt get a result within a few days then contact the head office, perhaps telling them that you dont appear to be able to contact this person and asking if they can help ( I dont think you have anything to gain by telling them that he/she is a dope cos if they dont already know it they probably are not a good company to work for ) I will pray for you for guidance but I think you need to think long and hard about if you want to work for a company that employes someone so unprofesional in such a senior position...

OK this is why, you see it is a big company...er-maybe its a cooperation? Anyway, so there are like a whole bunch of managers and district managers and lucky me got stuck with this dope to interview with. The manager that set me up with this interview was a seemingly nice gal who was patient with trying to get this interview for me even when I was unable to make it to the first interview she scheduled for me. I also met a coupla other managers who seemed nice enough and I just think it would be a cool job. Its just this dope-this one DOPE, I have no idea how he got as high up as he did or what the heck is going on with him , but anyway, i hope that answers your question...I wouldnt neccessarily be working under this dope, there are a lot of managers and different places to work at under this cooperation...

The manager that set me up with this interview was a seemingly nice gal who was patient with trying to get this interview for me even when I was unable to make it to the first interview she scheduled for me.
