Not getting a job.

Wait.....Wut???

WMMFGT was getting open and honest positive feedback and a reasonable explanation as to why I wasn't #1 candidate. Much better than the usual Mushroom tactics.

Strangely enough I find it awesome that someone took the time to tell you that you weren't the number 1 candidate and why.. Gives you an idea what you need to achieve and something to work towards..

Beats the sh*t out of 'Sorry you weren't successful but my sisters husbands brother got the job'..

Or, due to an overwhelming response... :blaah:

I always call the useless pricks unsuccessful candidates. Hate doing it as it's so farkin uncomfortable, but if someone has taken the time to apply and attend an interview(s) then it's the least you can do. And it also provides some brilliant stories when some of them flip out and call you every name under the sun. Nothing like burning bridges in a spectacular way!

Haha I had one dude do that for a contractor position.. It was only a months worth of guaranteed work.. He was really good but the bloke we chose just appeared to be a better choice.. Before I even got to the part about saying 'Seriously you appear to be an excellent choice and we are currently in with a chance to win these few big projects (Year or more of work) we would like to have you on board for in about 4-6 weeks' he flipped his lid at me about wasting his time..

Sat down in a meeting confirming my next big project this afternoon.. And my project team.. And confirmed no fixed price to contract terms with client.. So hourly rate for the next 15-18 months suits me just fine..

Team is full of eager beavers so here's to another cruisey 18 months of work!'
