Oh hi!
I got made redundant while on maternity leave last year, I decided to take the opportunity to have a year out with the baby before starting to look for a job. About a month ago I had one of those days where I thought I might have a look whats about so I updated my CV and set about looking.
On the local newspaper jobs site I saw a job advertised for a local very well known estate agents in the next village and thought ooo this sounds good but there was hardly any information at all. So I took the initiative to email the guy and include my cv like you do to ask for more info
Within an hour some other bloke is calling creaming himself over me coming in to talk about a different role as a mortgage advisor so we arrange for me to go for an informal chat 2 days later.
I turn up few mins early like you do and the guy isnt there, so they tell me to go for a walk and come back.
I return and wait for a while and hes still not there so one of the staff calls him to find out where he is.
Pete says "oh somethings come up, wont be there for another 40 mins bullshit bullshit'
So this poor guys all awkward having to relay this back to me, I said I cant come back in 40 mins as i have to be somewhere so he suggests I come back in around 2 hours instead.
So I leave thinking oh my god how rude! they guy didnt even bother to let anyone know he was late, it took someone to call him and find out!
After talking it through with myself and others i make the decision not to return because im not desperate for a job and certainly dont want to work with someone like that!!
Never heard a thing
Then today! I have just had a letter from PETE....
Thank you for applying for the recent position advertised, on this occasion we have offered the position to another candidate.
Im so annoyed because I didn't even apply and he had the cheek to mess me around and then send that!!
Now I really want to write something back on the letter and post it back to him and was hoping I could rely on good old CS to come up with something!!

Dear Sirs.
Thank you for the speed at which you informed me I was not successful.
However if you employed the same time scales when interviewing staff you may find that the staff you do recruit are somewhat more professional and courteous then at present.
I cannot help but feel your business would achieve a 100% increase in interest and sales if you did not employ people who it seems would feel at home in a zoo.
Many thanks and I look forward to never having to deal with you again.

Dear Pete,
I thought i made it quite clear when i didn't return for our meeting that i would never lower myself to work for a company with such a low standard of management. I'd rather work in an ice cream van.
Never yours,
Kerry

Send a letter from a family member that details how you ended your life because you didn't hear back in time.

Reply as if you've been offered the job.
"Many thanks for your kind offer of employment recieved today. After being offered an additional 2 hour wait for my interview I wasn't too sure about working with you. Indeed having never had an interview at all I didn't expect my chances would be very high.
For those reasons, I am afraid on this occasion I will have to decline your offer.
Kind regards"

Awesome!! Up until this post I would have said Ian's input was the best, but I would be very, very, very tempted by this response

Arrange a viewing for an expensive house and ask for him (high commision, he will jump at the chance), arrange a certain time to meet at this certain house, don't turn up, phone and say something came up....then kill his wife!
