Imagine this scenario: you apply for a job, go for the initial interview, wait two weeks and then get an email from the manager that they want to meet with you for a half-an-hour regarding the position. What would you think? I think most would believe that it was a good sign they were going to be getting the job.
Well, this exact thing happened to me recently. I anxiously waited for the manager to show up only for him to tell me that I did not get the job and that he had wanted to tell me personally.
Although I felt it was somewhat more “personal” to tell me face-to-face than on the phone, I found it to be a total waste of my time and it was something he could have told me on the phone or even in the email he sent to me.
Some people just need to think….
