Judging by the quality of this guy's writing, I'm guessing his book's ending won't be "bang on" at all. Nor will the rest of the book.

The only way I'd believe someone had that reaction to a book ending is if they were reading something by Stephen King.

also was the book torn in half or did he tear pages out one by one? Make up your mind, "writer".

I just noticed he described the guy chewing pages until they were “palpable”. Was it an ethereal book that his teeth were grinding out of the 7th dimension?

Of course it's loving fake, because if you're spending so much time interviewing that you have to bill the candidates who don't make the cut, you have no business owning anything and you're gonna be closing up shop in a year anyway.

Yeah but also it's way too detailed and personal, it reads like somebody who has never received any form of bill or professional correspondence.

Yeah it's hard to believe the interview was so bad that they had an employee, on the company's dime, write up a specific and detailed letter with sufficient legal force to demand payment from the interviewee. Although it's kind of fun to imagine how bad it would have to have been.

My last interview lasted about 45 minutes, I think, and I got the drat job. There's no way two managers and a Rebekah (lol) would waste two whole hours on someone who was "obviously" not qualified for the position.

A candidate that bad, you wrap it up in half an hour, thank them for coming in, and send them on their way with a "we'll be in touch". I can't imagine an interview so bad that you'd want to bill for it, but I can definitely buy an interviewer being so incompetent that they don't know how to end the interview gracefully so it just drags on until they run out of questions.

We interviewed someone for a stockroom position last week for about 2 hours. This included being told that we'd take him for the job, showing him around, and letting him meet everyone.

As paperwork was being discussed, he suddenly put his head down on the table for like 30 seconds. He got up and said "I'm sorry, God told me I need to work for Spectrum instead" and walked out.

After being chased down and asked what the gently caress was going on, he explained how he's been saved and said that God personally told him that he shouldn't take this job, and should instead take a different job offer. He apologized for wasting everyone's time and then walked out. At least we were warned that he's a lunatic?

Yeah, but you were ready to hire him. You wouldn't have kept him around for two hours if he'd opened with the whole "God speaks to me personally and directly" thing.

You definitely got a hell of a story out of it.

Honestly, we've had some of the strangest people come through the crane industry.

On Friday a guy called to let us know that he thought a question on an exam was wrong. He spent about 5 minutes ranting about how badly we'd get sued (cutting off any attempts by us to speak) and managed to whip himself up into such a frenzy of anger that he started demanding to speak to the owner before he actually told us what the question was. When I told him that there wasn't anyone of higher authority in the building and to just tell us what the complaint was, he hung up.
