I experienced an interview recently in which On reaching on time one employee was casual enough to ask to wait, and just peeked into the Boss's room and informed he is talking to some one. She was graceful enough to check after fifteen min again with a peek from across her desk three rooms away without bothering to call and inform. I waited forty five min clueless and with no information. I been attending a HR Manager post interview been experienced Professional found this experience really unprofessional of not valuing the time of other.
I left the venue and informed on Mail the the secretary in a very decent tone that I had been waiting for min and I felt that there was a miscommunication to the interviewer or a glitch in the interview as the time was not coordinated and informed my apology to leaving the venue and requested to be removed from the candidature for which the Secretary lashed out with terms like a " AUDACITY" for leaving and Impatience and characterized me as an incapable person to multitask.
What do you feel If you are a company hiring are you doing a favor for the person who comes down for an interview does his time not value or is it allows the company which is Hiring to be much upper hand.
Would like your comments on my action positive or negative.
I will wait for the interviewer and prepare my mind for the questions the interviewer will asked and wait untill the interview start.
Personally I would look at the context. Make myself at home. Then approach reception and enquire about the finer detail to this situation. A few options to consider: if it is not going to take much of my time, I will wait - giving it 30 minutes to attend the interview. If the situation is unexplainable, I will ask to reschedule and ploitely leave. Contect and intent always plays a role in behavior and circumstances. Ask and make a decition. Ploite and professional.
Well as an applicant since your applying for a job its very normal for the company to ask you to wait. applicant should have patience during application.
What you should have done is before leaving is to inform the secretary.
