So some of yall know Im currently at this steel mill, been there for almost half a year now. But Ive still been looking other jobs to sharpen my hard skills and stimulate my mind, something that lines up with my interests and knowledge. Its this one place Ive applying to for a MINUTE now, they make cinderblocks out of sand, water, rock and other shyt; arrange the cinderblocks on skids and ship them out to customers and shyt. Applied for the machine operator position 3 times (once in October of 2022, once in February 2023, and once last month). The first two times the stopped considering my application after a bit. The third time I said "Ill be DAMNED if this happens again". So after a month of not hearing anything I called the HR department and conveyed to them that I applied for the position and wanted to reiterate my interest by checking on my application status.
She asked my name, the location I applied for and shyt like that. We got done and she said shed pass the message on to the hiring manager. Two weeks passed with no communication (mind you my application still says "In progress", after applying over a month ago) so I call again. This time I called the number of the exact location. Talked to a receptionist, she patched me through to a supervisor, he was aware that no one had ever got back to me and wanted me to come in for an interview and asked when I could come in. I told him "tomorrow at 12" (the Tuesday that just passed). Okay so I get my ass up and walk 3 hours to this damn interview because I REALLY want/(ed) this job (aside it from paying very well, the job description matched my interests and exactly what Ive looking for. And I was 15 minutes early to the interview).
Im greeted by some guy (not the guy who was supposed to interview me) and we go in the office to begin the shyt. He was aware of me applying yet not hearing anything from anybody and taking it upon myself to call and pretty get something set up. He asked me to tell him about myself so I gave him an encapsulation of my work history. He then described to me what the job entails and then we take a tour. He shows me around and shyt and dissects the minutiae of the whole damn process, then we go back to the office and he talks to me about benefits and other perquisites and shyt. He ask for my number and email and says you should hear something next week if not this week. We shake hands and I withdraw myself from the establishment.
When I get home I go the website and check the status of my application and see the date has updated (from May/something/2023 to 6/20/2023, 6/20 was the day of the interview). Checked again today at midnight and now it says "Application no longer being considered". IM AM PISSED. I want to hold hope and say that was an error because I JUST did the interview now even 48 hours ago. Why in the hell would they have me come up for an interview just to toss me in the trash now 2 days later? And I walked 3 hours man wtf?
Part of me cant help but feel like they already knew they were going to decline my application when they scheduled me to come up there for an interview. But like I said I want to stay positive because Ive been wanting this job for a minute now and the interview seemed like it went pretty well. The guy didnt ask me all those gay ass question like "Tell me about a time..." "Lets say....." "Give an example of when..." Just described what I would be doing and broke down the pros and cons. Im thinking about calling them sometime next week and see whats up. What do yall think?
