The performing art that is the job interview process can be exhausting. There are woefully unqualified and manipulative recruiters at every turn, hiding in the shadows, just itching to waste your energy and precious time. Once you make it to a first-round interview (after receiving no response to 50 other applications), you're put into the gauntlet of the interview charade where nothing matters except for charisma and the ability to feign competency. It doesn't matter a lick whether or not you're actually qualified; can you convince the interviewers (who might have no technical experience in your field) that you're qualified?
This frustrating exercise can get the better of even the most emotionally hardy of us, and this job seeker has become determined to turn the tables of the situation and get back at bad recruiters by giving them the "what for."
That's all well and good, but their specific approach to the situation has divided readers. While some readers have applauded their drum beating and flag raising, others are pointing out that they might have jumped the gun and been a little quick to pull the trigger on their email. They sent their email (pictured) at 12:07 pm, a mere minutes after their interview was scheduled to be held. Who knows what number of things could have gone wrong to cause this delay? Sure, if it were the other way around, the job seeker probably wouldn't be receiving a second chance, but has their response gone too far? What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
