"I did not speak to either.
For what it’s worth, you interviewed very well and I think you would fit in the position great! I was, however, very turned off by the style choice of a cigarette tucked behind your ear for a job interview. Piercings, tattoos, clothes, etc. are all wonderful expressions that need not be covered up or taken off or changed for an interview. But purposely tucking a cigarette behind your ear is a different brand of expression that told me hiring you came with certain risks. None of this was deal-breaking, but it does count.
Best,
anon's would-be boss

we were slinging a fair bit of sarcasm during the interview, but is this over the top? I've never smoked a cigarette in my life. Is he misremembering me or is this a joke? Just seems very ill placed. This job was perfect believe it or not, 4 days a week $20hr

>> No.13622468

>>13622441
Whether you had the cigarette or not just move on man. Shit doesn't always work out and if the guy is misremembering that hard then he's probably a weirdo anyway. You'll find something else.

I'm not good at reading people, but no, not at all. He was a straight shooter, told me what would get me canned on the spot, realistic expectations of the job. Very funny. Quite intelligent as well. Runs a profitable business with 9 employees.

I really don't understand this. There was a two day gap in between the emails and when I met him. I knew he was interviewing others. But how the fuck could you have such a bad lapse in memory?

I really thought I was perfect for the job. And that's what he communicated. My only flaw was my shitty car which he questioned, but I explained I'd have it taken care of and would have no problems ever getting to work. And I also have to leave for a few days at the end of the month. That's it.

I'm not a delusional fucker I just know that I was the best candidate he could have found for the job, given he's really only looking at a pool of college kids home on break, and I have the closest thing to relevant experience.

Hmmm still, so strange. I mean, otherwise he’s hiring a guy he doesn’t want, or will be surprised it’s not who he thinks it is (you). You could wait to see if he responds back with an oh shit moment. But really otherwise he’s weird and making excuses. Good luck man

This. Perhaps you should have genetically-engineered yourself a pair of pert E cups in the weeks prior to the interview.

Sorry anon, some things just don't work out. Try not to dwell on this and move on to the next opportunity. Don't hold any bitterness, it's not healthy.

>> No.13623944

OP, go check your ears in the mirror. If there's no cigarette, post pics of ears. Perhaps you have a growth that looks like a cigarette that no-one's been honest enough to tell you about before.

We just want to help you so this never happens again.

Now he thinks you had a cig behind ur ear, next thing you know he says he definetely left his LV sportsbag with money in it here on the yacht, where is it you fucking thief, give it vack or ill call the cops, sont tell me you havent seen the bag, it was right here, never mind the cops, ill beat you up myself
