A lot can happen in three months.
My wife interviewed years ago for a UK govt research agency. They took three months to respond but did eventually set up an on-site interview. She went along anyway. HR met her at the gate and took her to the office of the person who owned the opportunity. When they arrived and there was no-one at his desk it turned out that he had died two months earlier and that the HR drone hadn't known. Needless to say the interview was cancelled.
- keyle 3y agoWowsa. That reads like a B movie noir comedy.
- triyambakam 3y agoI would watch it!
- paulddraper 3y ago> there was no-one at his desk Sounds like a vacancy
- christophilus 3y agoYeah. I thought the story would end with the HR person saying, “Oh. Turns out Bob died. I guess you’re hired. Have Bob’s office.”
- Arrath 3y agoThat or the HR person sits the interviewee down and wanders off assuming the desk owner will come back soon with a fresh cuppa. Cut to some time later, the interviewee's skeleton is sitting there still waiting. Maybe I've read too much Douglas Adams.
