Guy; Hi, I'm here to speak to Frank for the interview Me; Hey I'm Frank. Nice to meet you. It's 10:15 and you are scheduled for 11:00. I'm happy to talk with you and we can definitely start earlier, but I have a few things to take care of first so I'll need you to sit tight for a bit before we can proceed. Guy; Oh, well I had something else come up and I need to be somewhere at 11:30. Me; Well I just told you we can start early for sure, but it will be a few minutes before we get going and I can't guarantee we'll be done by the time you need to leave. Would you like a bottle of water while you're waiting? Guy; Yeah I need to be out of here before 11, so...will that be the case? Me; I just told you I can't promise you that, man. Guy: Ok...... and then he walked out. IMO, 45 minutes is way too early to show up for an interview and if something legitimate did come up and it needs to be rescheduled or whatever, call and see whats up before just showing up and expecting everybody to cater to you. Seriously, WTF is wrong with people? |

Sounds like you just had the interview with the guy, and he ain't getting the job. |

If interviewing, the rule is show about about ten minutes prior to your interview. If you get there real early(to be safe in case of traffic-etc), that's fine but find a coffee shop next door to pass time... Any earlier and you come off to the employer as a desperate psycho that can't follow basic instructions. |

That is pretty much my belief as well. I've definitely arrived in the area earlier due to traffic or just wanting to give myself enough time or whatever. But then I'll sit in the car and listen to sportsradio/music, and walk in 10-15 minutes early fully expecting to wait those minutes before the interview starts. |

We had a new guy start last week. I was the only one of the 4 people who interviewed him who was against hiring him. Called in sick with "insomnia" this morning. I'm already starting to feel vindicated. |

To say that the labor market in this country is scarce would be an under statement. |

maybe not skilled but it is quite risky given how dangerous of a job it is |

The early arrival wouldn’t bother me nearly as much as the “I gotta be somewhere else at 11:30” attitude. I woulda said “well, we wouldn’t want you to be late, so off you go, then!”. |

And with the current state of the labor market, it will only be getting worse. People I know who are hiring agronomists at places like FS or any of the larger co ops can’t hire anyone. Salaries that people my age would of killed for right out college but they want a real set schedule and no working weekends at all. It just doesn’t work that way in this industry during certain times of year (perhaps it is time for some in the industry to adapt but that’s a different conversation). |
