Vent

I guess you could call this a FOAD Thursday post.

Vent 1
So I apply for a job. I get a message on my phone for an interview. I get moderately excited. Then I find out the job is too far away and the pay is dirt. So I don't call back.

So I apply for another job. I get a message on my phone for an interview. I get moderately excited. Then I find out the job is in the city where I currently work. I call and schedule the interview. They say the job is about an hour away from where I live. It turns out the job is not located where it was advertised. I'm dumb and still set up the interview knowing that I can't make it.

Number one I do not have time at my job right now to disappear for two to three hours.

Number two what the hell is with posting jobs for the wrong city. I don't want to work that far away anyway and would not take the job.

Number three why didn't I check more carefully where this company was before calling back.

Number four why didn't I not schedule the interview in the first place. I had to call back and cancel because I make things so complicated.

Vent 2
So I get to work this morning and there are two irritating things for me to do. The tasks themselves were not really irritating but my reaction to them is of irritation. One of the tasks is one of the reasons I want another job. No details. Sorry. The other just existed.

So now I am just irritated and venting.

I'm not worried about future interviews I just need to verify where a place is before I apply for the job. I won't look at what the job listing says. From now on I go by what the web site says. If it does not say on the web site I will talk to the person when I am setting up the interview, make sure I can even make it to where it is, then not bother setting up the interview if it is too far away.

FOAD to job listing hr swine that list the wrong city.

P.S. on a more positive note my resume is generating calls for interviews. That makes me happy and excited.
