Company forces job applicant to interview again after already he accepted their offer: 'I was shocked'

Job interviews are not easy, and they take up a lot of your time. Not just the interview time itself but all of the prep work and practice can take up a lot of mental capacity. And if you're interviewing for multiple jobs at the same time, it's basically a full-time job. In this story, this job candidate was doing just that. After receiving an offer from one of the job prospects, be politely asked for two days to consider the offer before giving the hiring manager an answer. After careful consideration, the applicant decided to accept the offer presented. But, he was in the midst of being recruited for other jobs, so he declined them all and gave the good news to his new employer. Or so he thought. In those two days, the company claimed they had begun to consider another candidate, and now, the original offer is off the table. If this candidate still wants the job, he will have to interview again. Given really no choice, the original poster took to the internet to see if anyone had ever had this happen to them before. Keep reading for the full story and the discussion amongst other workers.
