I had an interview today at Target for 9:30 a.m.
I got there 15 minutes early because they said i needed to do a questionnaire on a computer before the interview. I got there, and there were 2 people on the computers doing the questionare. 1 person finished in a couple minutes after i got there, i went on the computer, but it turned out i finished the questions when i originally did the online application. Turns out the other 2 people on the computers had interview's. After talking with them while waiting, 1 had an interview at 10:30 and came early, and i don't remember when the other guy said his interview was. After about 10-15 minutes they came and got me for the interview, did the first interview, and then the person giving the interview told me to wait for the second interview. I waited for almost an hour, before i finally walked out.
Now, i know some jobs do the waiting thing to see if people get irritated and all that, but to make someone wait an hour (Pretty much being in the store and ready for an interview for about an hour and 45 minutes) is in my eyes, really disrespectfull. The thing is i have been out of work for over a year, and am wondering to myself, should i have stayed even longer to see how the second interview would've gone. The thing that's been gettin at me all day about walking out is, maybe i could've had a job, but if i stayed, i could've been waiting even longer, then dealt with the interview and probably have been there for over 3 hours. Also if i stayed and didn't get the job, and had to wait all that time, i would've went off on them. Like i said the main thing that's gettin me is of course that uncertainty of "Maybe i could've gotten the job", but the thing i keep asking myself is, should i keep stressing out over walking out? I mean granted it's over and done with, but should i keep beating myself up over it? I mean are they not in the wrong for making me wait over an hour? If i have an interview at 9:30, i expect to be interviewed at 9:30, and if theres a second interview, it should be right after the first one.
