Thanks
You should have shared that over the phone before I wasted a day of work and drove 50 miles out to meet you.
You cost me over $150, my lost day of work and travel time, for a role you only intended to hire out if I "Really" wanted it.
The idea that candidates should be overly thrilled about a particular position emotionally is ludicrous, facetious, and self-praising.
I should thank you though. This isn't the first time I've been screwed by Christians you see.
I gave you all a chance, and you proved me right.
Every interaction I've had with a so-called "Christian" businessman has left me worse off.
So here's a public statement for ya!
I will no longer entertain job offers from companies OR clients that market their "Christian" principles.
I have been ripped off every time, and you all are no exception
EDIT: Stefan, thanks for the unsolicited advice. Here’s a serving for you in return:
1. Let candidates know if you have multiple buildings and where the interview will be. Don’t make them open random doors and play awkward Sherlock.
2. If the candidate needs a minute to set up and take notes, let them do so. You brought half a dozen laptops, and a TV. I brought a single tablet. Your hypocrisy is noted.
3. Don’t ambush the candidate with multiple managers, and not show up yourself. That’s like sending your mother, your sister, and your best bud to a first date - while staying home yourself. Don’t do it.
4. Don’t criticize a candidate for practicing their trade independently. Yes, I will ply my trade. Yes, I have clients. Yes, I reserve the right to earn a living, thank you very d*mn much!
5. When a candidate qualifies for multiple positions and states clearly they are willing to fill "wherever the need is," that means.. brace yourself.. they are willing to fill multiple positions.
In fact, this was clearly stated both verbally and in writing before the interview.
What it means is “yes, I can do this job you have open, and more.”
How you all interpreted that as “not interested” reaches miraculous levels of illiteracy and deafness.
Further, twisting that to condescendingly say, "You don't seem enthusiastic enough about this particular role, so I'm out." is unacceptable. Your lackey was more interested in roleplaying Dragons Den than the interview.
So,
Your team failed to communicate my expectations amongst themselves. Then they failed to discuss any potential concerns with me beforehand. This could have been sorted long before I canceled a workday.
Then you failed to show up, Stefan.
Then your team used my time to roleplay reality TV.
Then they tried to offer unsolicited “advice”.
Your team was disrespectful and cringe from the start. I should have left at step one, awkwardly tracking your people down.
6. Businesses that market themselves as “Christian” have a streak of dishonesty and unethical behavior. “I am a Christian, and therefore you can trust me” has become the hallmark of a surefire scam. Don’t embroider your logo on a scarecrow and tape it to a cross.
7. Job seekers have the very least amount of time.Their very homes, food, and medication are subject to a dooming countdown. They literally don't have time to waste.
And yet, businesses think it's OK to subject them to the most nonsense possible. It's flat-out immoral, shameful, and disgusting behavior.
8. Regarding Publicity:
• Where the money ends, the truth begins. Employees rarely criticize their livelihoods.
• Jim Jones’ clients gave him 5 stars.
• Your other 1-star review is from an ex-employee. It starts with “Don’t drink the cool-aid.” Nuff said.
9. You run TeamViewer. You should know better. That company got caught several times hiding breaches. This tells me you either knew about it and chose convenience over security or didn’t know, which is just as bad. Either way, that was already an instant disqualification. You never. risk. client. data. The rest is just peeling back the facade of your "service."
