Why do employer or human resources give you a job interview just to tell that the job is not full time? |
I went to a job interview for an hospital just to hear them say that the job you are applying for is only for two hours a day monday to friday, when I apply for an full time postions..Im very discourage about that because I drove 45 minutes to get there with high hope of a full time positions..What is up with these human resource department at these jobs interview? Dear Job Seeker - it is unfortunate that this particular HR Department wasn't forthcoming with important information, however you can prevent that same scenario from happening in the future by asking some basic questions upfront before actually attending the interview - such as "is this a full time or 40 hour per week position?" "why is the position open?" " how many other candidates are you interviewing" " is the position located at your facility or offsite?". Get as much information as possible before making the drive - take charge of your job search and make sure the position is a fit for you first. Interviewing is not a one way, employer driven street. That is something they should state in the ad, or when they call you for an interview. It is discouraging, I know. I've had it happen that way, but with money. I'll put on my resume that I need $XXX amount, and when I go for the interview, I find out it's much lower. To me, it's dishonest, but I console myself by saying that I wouldn't want to work for a company like that anyway! I hear you. You would think they believe we don't have other things to do. Usually, information about the job will be listed in the job posting or ad. Don't be discouraged, you will find the job you want. Good luck. I don't think you should fault the interviewer for this one. Whenever you get a call back for an interview after you apply for the job - that is the perfect time to ask questions. If they did not advertise the hours or rate of pay - it is likely that the intention to let you know during the interview for a reason. My advice for you is to write down a series of probing questions to ask BEFORE you accept the interview, and also a set for DURING the interview. Employers are impressed when they are probed for information into the job and company. This way, everyone is on the same page. I am an HR Director |
