I had an early morning job interview with a company I have little desire to work for as the work involves phoning people about bank PPI claims which many, myself included, consider a nuisance call. The interview is a mandatory one organized by my welfare advisors who would stop my benefits if I failed to go to it. They even arrange for the interview to take place at the welfare offices to see if I attend.
Imagine their embarrassment therefore when I turned up but the interviewer didn’t. It’s the third time he has failed to turn up for such arranged events.
I spoke to the welfare team who were very apologetic though it isn’t their fault, and I don’t need to see them again for two weeks now. Whoo!

@arthurchappell The system needs to be amended and should only include respectable forms of employment.

That's the dole for you - a few years ago they had to back-peddle from trying to force unemployed girls from taking up lap-dancing in seedy nightclubs

I once got called in for an interview, and the guy who was supposed to interview me was off that day. I'm was not too happy.

@teamfreak16 not nice that they couldn't let you know - a simple phone call / text is all it takes

@arthurchappell - You'd think so, wouldn't you. Apparently not.

I bet they were apologetic. Sounds like the one trying to interview you, needs to find a new job.

Seemed the interviewer didn't do his job properly. Well, you have two weeks to feel relieved.
