Earliest call from an agent??

[WTFH]

Had a phone call at 7:20am asking me to join a phone interview at 8:30.

India is obviously very much awake.

Anyone had an earlier call, or an interview with less notice??

05:30 "Lord Sugar would like to see you in 10 minutes. Bring lube for Karren."




Never had a really early one, but have had agents phone me at 9.30 at night

Sounds like a project in trouble, total train wreck etc.

I had one call at 11PM, once, I said to him "Do you know what fookin' time it is" click... brrrrrrrrrr..

Do you really said that!

[MrMarkyMark]

Do you realy said that!

Yes, I most certainly did, especially as it was the weekend too.

In my experience this sort of agent behavior is usually performed by the biggest chancers, in any case.
Usually a total waste of time.

I applied to join PIMCO. 15 interviews including a couple at 11pm at night(West Coast time zone) and 2 at their London office.

I liked the role as you get told your expected bonus at the start of the year!

I was told I was a definite for the role. One "rubber stamping" final 10 minute interview with PIMCO board member(not Bill Gross!). He keeps asking me about stuff that happened 20 years ago!

I then got rejected for not being a forward thinking person!

Its a lesson I should have learned a long while ago. When stuff goes wrong, its time to cut your losses and walk away. When the 11pm interviews came I should have said no. Hey ho.

Are you sure they weren't just trying to bore you to death

Generally they like to spread the blame. I have seen plenty of cases where people pass 15 interviews then sacked after a few months. One particular one springs to mind - a very poor project manager at Chase Bank. Lasted 6 months. Started with 30 staff and had 6 when sacked. Turns out his previous role was doing software for Benetton F1 team. His mistake cost them a race!

True true. But it is good news! How else do you measure how good you are?
