"Just popping out for 45 minutes for a call. See you in a bit". There, easy.

Originally posted by speling bee View PostWhat's the problem? After 10 minutes you make a business decision either to politely cut it short, or carry on. Then you live with that decision. It's not difficult and there really is no point in moaning about it.
Unless if course it's a worrying new trend.

I got my current role based purely on a phone interview. I went and sat in my car to do it - my phone dropped out part way through because where I was based as a bit out in the sticks. I've no problem with them. Its better than being dragged to the other side of the country just so that they can see what you look like.

Originally posted by psychocandy View PostNo I'm moaning because they refused to do it any other time, I said it was awkward but agreed if it was 10 mins tops. 30 mins later it was still going strong...
I remember I had worse with a Bob agency and client once. Went and sat in my car, waited 15 mins for call. Gave up and went back into office. 90 mins later I had a few missed calls that I couldnt take but no message left (unknown number).
2 hours later agency phoned me to say client werent happy I wasnt available for phone interview! **** off nobheads.
Unless if course it's a worrying new trend.

Originally posted by psychocandy View PostUmmm. If someone says we'd like to speak to you, I say I can give you longer at this time, but at the time you want Im limited, then they say no problem we understand, promise 10 mins only, why would I expect it to go on longer?
