sucks when that happens. had a similar experience once, burgeoning software company back in the day. got suited and booted, nervous as all hell because my lack of formal education wasn't really a factor, and id finally resigned myself to carry on labouring in shitty factories the rest of my life
so im sittin there, when i get called in - my interviewer was a young guy, late 20's , wearing baggy jeans... great start
then we started talking books and music, and minutiae thereof. we gelled amazingly
towards the end of the convo, with just a few token job questions, he basically told me they had one more interview, but that the job was basically mine if i wanted it. he even told me about how the money was nice, but there would be real money if i chose to move onto sales etc (i refuse to work in any sales - its soul crushing)
then, unbelievably... after the conclusion of the 'interview', the guy , the fuckin interviewer - took me out to the back secure carpark AND YES HAD A SPLIFF WITH ME. sweeping his hand over all the fancy, expensive cars as he did so - telling me, 'see, you can have all this too'
we finished, bid goodbye and as we shook hands he again reiterated that he really likes me and formalities aside - id got the job
i left the place giddy. so surreal, so amazing. i gushed to everyone, about my cool, weed smoking boss, the fancy cars, that id finally escaped all the factories and labouring and was looking forward immensely to throwing myself heart and soul into this olive branch of a dream job
..... turns out, the guy who interviewed me was actually only in charge while the head manager was away - and as such had no authority to conduct interviews or offer the position as such
seems like he got in a bit of trouble, and sadly - i think his choice of myself was purposely passed over. they hired another guy in the end, one of the applicants who came in before mine, who from what i had been informed - was a late middle ages bloke who was nowhere near as au fait with computers as i was told i had been. thus as far as i can infer, was punished for someone else's fuck up
and yup, was pretty damn crushed for a while. false hope is the worst, man
so yeah, been there. hold it down kenny
Yeah man, it pisses me off how one of the ladies said send us an email on monday if you still want the job, I mean why would you something like that? It's obvious I'm going to think I have the job.
