Arrived at my interview yesterday feeling confident. The hiring manager immediately tells me they filled the position last week, and HR never cancelled the remaining interviews. He apologized and said he'd keep my resume on file. I'm still cringing. How can a company be this unprofessional? What do you even do in this situation?

That’s absolutely awful. So sorry that happened

Absolutely would feel so down making the time for it and not even having a chance. I guess I’d at least appreciate that they were up front about it and didn’t string me along without letting me know.

Happens too often. Smile, shake hands, and forget them. Any company that wastes candidates’ time like that probably wastes its staff too.

My generation is really f#cked up. It's impossible to save any money. And it's not that I don't want to. Is simply because I can't do it, by the end of the month there is really not much left.
