  • In this story, a man felt that he was the ideal candidate for a job for which he interviewed. It was a merchandising role, which involved travelling to different stores several days a week. As somebody who had previously been both a trucker and a grocery stocker, he was convinced that he had all the relevant experience.

    However, his interviewer seemed to think he was not up to the job when he mentioned that he had quit trucking to have more flexibility to help an elderly family member. He was then ghosted, and when he realized that the job had been relisted, he decided to exact some petty revenge.

  • In a fit of rage, I signed up my last interviewer for a ton of spam calls

    I was literally perfect for the job, it required 3 days on the road, merchandising products at stores, visiting up to 12 stores a day, you drive your own personal car and get compensation for wear and tear so think alot of driving and alot stocking and hustling the entire day to meet all your stores I have 1 year coast to coast trucking experience, I have 4 years as a in-store grocery stocker I told the interviewer "I quit trucking so I can help out my elderly family member here around home, it

  • Sufficient_Tooth_949 Original Poster's Reply Whenever you apply to so many places and get disregarded for saying one minor thing wrong, and you cant pay your phone bill or buy food, morals go out the window Im not proud of it, i was sitting in bed stressing about upcoming bills, then saw the job was reposted on indeed and I lost it Im not being given a fair chance beyond the few interviews I've gotten and these aren't exactly white collar jobs Even 3 days, not many people are willing to ve away

  • titanicdiamond Health insurance... I had to send a cease and desist email to stop the calls and occasionally still get them.

  • Impressive-Falcon635 My last employer got melted down over the review I left on INDEED. They fr king deserved it!!

  • Budget-Dress8457 You don't have to tell the truth in interviews.

  • Dhaupin Make them a application and run it through Ai auto application apps. Like blanket thousands of jobs. Flood their inbox with rejections. Set their "resume" in stone across thousands of orgs. Spam won't affect them because of call/email filters (especially now with Ai). But rejected job applications will def get through in most cases. And it'll hit harder, deeper psychology, they will wonder for weeks/years who did it. It might also trigger an internal investigation as to why they're apply

  • blue_tiny_teacup Sounds like your interviewer was an idiot

  • Impossible_Link8199 Learn your lesson from this. You shouldn't have mentioned the elderly family member. It has future FMLA leave or quitting all over it. It wouldn't rub me the wrong way, but it would be a yellow flag on your availability. It's hard to care for a family member when you're gone most of the week.

  • swissarmychainsaw Hang in there, bud, and keep after it. You learned an important lesson, you don't tell what doesn't need told. If they say they need three days on the road then you say sure I can do that no problem. Full stop. You don't need to embellish or explain or color. Just keep it crisp you'll get the next one! Keep after it.
