'My interview was at 10:00 AM': Job candidate waits two hours for his interview, walks out and gives HR a piece of his mind

Professionalism goes both ways. Every recruiter, manager, and human resources representative expects a level of respect, decorum, and maturity from the candidates they interview for various positions. Unfortunately, these folks tend to forget that the same behavior is expected of them as well. Employment is a two-way street, after all!

With this in mind, both interviewers and interviewees should be respectful of one another's schedule and time. If you go through the back-and-forth to set up a meeting, don't flake! Of course, emergencies come up, but there is always a decent way to bring up last-minute conflicts and to show that no one is being actively disrespected. Again, it's painful and silly how reckless people are with other people's time. Not only does that disrespect show a supreme level of selfishness, but also it shows a disturbing embrace of corporate hierarchy, implying that because the interviewer is higher on the "food chain," so to speak, they can treat others differently. Red flag if there ever was one!
