Has anyone ever asked you: "How'd your job interview go?"
Ever wondered how someone else's went?
Well here's your chance to find out!


Our mission here is very simple.

Think of this forum as a tool that puts a little more power in the hands of you the job applicant. You're already stressed out enough having to spend hours on job posting web sites like Careerbuilder and Monster, sending resumes, making follow up phone calls and overall, trying to impress hiring managers enough to give you a shot at your dream job.

All we're doing is "Secret Shopping" all those corporate hiring managers out there.

The feedback you post will be utilized by all who view it to motivate, not criticize. Ok, if you have a legitimate criticism, please feel free to voice your opinion however you see fit.

Company Name:
Cavalier Telephone

Position:
Installation and Service Technician

Current status in the interview process:
8/24 – The hiring manager called me and asked me to resend my resume as he had accidentally deleted it. I sent the resume one last time and said the hell with it!
8/21 – Emailed resume direct to the hiring manager in hopes that this reminder would spur him to call me.
8/20 – Finally made contact with the hiring manager and he said he was very busy and he would schedule an interview for later that week. Well, as you might imagine, that never happened!
8/17 – After discovering that the receptionist had the incorrect number of the hiring manager in her database, I finally reached someone in my state. That should’ve been my first clue, if a telephone company doesn’t even have up to date phone records, how can they possibly be organized enough to reach prospective candidates?
8/16 – Called the corporate office and the receptionist gave me a phone number of the hiring manager in my state.
8/14 – Left a voice mail for an HR rep
8/13 – Emailed resume from a posting I spotted on Careerbuilder

Salary information:
Pay ranges anywhere from $15 to $20 per hour based on experience.
