Interview no show

[suityou01]

If none of this is made up, it certainly sounds as though you did very little wrong. [Other than accepting an interview with MF at his imaginary clientco].

There's not much I can say without protesting too much.

All I will say is that given my fecking precarious financial situation (again) and my devotion to my family, and the fact that I was hauling ass to Germany every week to the detriment of my health, that if I was desperate enough then yes i would work for that knobmuncher.

FTFY

MF hasn't been a contractor for years

Fair enough

1. I was drunk.
2. I think, from memory, he maybe could sort of play the guitar.
3. I thought I was going to get some action.

So you are an alcoholic, tone-deaf, slapper?

Where did you say you live again?

Careful what you say. He might not invite you back for a 2nd interview (which you can choose whether to attend or not)

Clearly the interviewer was MF putting on a funny voice.

Surely that was - not wishing to perpetuate gender stereotypes - your call even after the guitar. "Get off the guitar and get on me" would work on most men

I didn't think of that

Action was entirely out of the question once he'd taken up that guitar.

But I'm not sure I completely agree with your second point; some men find that sort of approach a bit unsettling, I think!

So we exchanged emails and agreed on 3pm German time. I booked a meeting room at client co, and went in there 2:55. And waited.................

In the end, I had to go back to my desk. I did, and when I got there the phone rang. It was the guy. Very late. But the client was talking to me and I couldn't break away to answer the call in time. I got an email immediately from the guy. Friendly enough, said to drop him an email when I was ready. I emailed straight back, apologising for not being able to grab his call and said if he called back I would take it and we could resume.

Sorry but, FAIL. I would never have done this but would have set a time when I was back in my hotel, in fact I have done this with US based prospects who just 'wanted a chat', notably Redhat and Google. This way you are guaranteed of no work interruptions...
