@ racoon
whoa, that’s not a good start. I think by that time, you’ve already resigned…..and for the HR of your new company to make such silly mistakes… it’s either carelessness or it’s really a bad omen.

@ Toc
Hmm, quite similar to my case last time. I was quite fresh (1 year experience) and this company asked me to go for interview on a Saturday. At that time, I knew the answer – i won’t join.
Guess what, I reached there 30 min earlier, and the CTO made me waited 3 hours! Being a professional, I didn’t leave just like that but I went into the interview and really pissed with the CTO. I just wanted to see how that idiot talked. Not professional at all.
As expected, that company is still that small 4 yrs later.

I was looking for a part-time job earlier. So, this friend of mine told me her restaurant was hiring and that the boss wanted to interview me on Sunday, around 5PM. As a result, I waited for the boss until 7:20pm and still she hasn't show up. In the end, I turned her down although she wanna hire me and I was desperate for a job. First impression is very important indeed. Tocs last blog post..Cheesecake Factory
