^^ They probably tested X amount of candidates because they'd be assed out if they only tested the one candidate they wanted to hire and the test came back positive.

Because i was called in for a drug test? When an employer calls you in for that, 9 times outta 10 you got the job.Originally Posted by JFDOOM

Why bother calling people in if you don't plan on hiring them in the first place?

Apparently not.
Getting called back for a drug test doesn't signify you got the job in anyway. It's just the next step of the interview process. Passing the drug and background test just keeps you in the running. It doesn't get you the job.
Stop crying about your time being wasted and just do better on your interviews. Hiring managers aren't out to waste your time...or more importantly...their time. They're job is to hire the best candidate. If they thought you were the best candidate, they would've hired you.

they do this to save money. agency costs, health care, benefits, etc....instead of hiring a new person, simply move someone from within the company to another position, a small raise, and same package/benefits...saves them thousands.Originally Posted by JFDOOM
Had 2 interviews over the last month and didn't get either gig.
First gig was a tech support position at a Sporting Goods store(paragon sports in NYC) Interview went great, passed the drug test & the background check. The outcome? I was "over qualified" for the position. You knew that the minute you saw my resume...why waste my time?
Second was a systems engineer position at NBC studios. Interview went cool. Didn't know a few things but made it certain i was more than willing to learn beyond the books. Interviewer seemed to like me and set me up for my background check and drug test. Both came back clean. The outcome? They decided to hire someone within the company. Why not hire within in the first place?

Sorry to hear that dude.Originally Posted by Ace Rawstein
OP keep ur head up man, bout 2 months ago I was internal and applied for the job, aced the interview and was offered the position and accepted. a week before I was suppose to had started....HR tells my would be new supervisor they messed up initially and I wasnt even "qualified" for the position...one of the sickest moments for me....when I finally convinced myself that I had really landed the gig that $%&^%happens!!...
i didnt wanna get too hype about it till i officially started working cuz I was still skeptical from when I initially applied and thought I didnt qualify myself but ya know I went along with everything and thought hell i made it ya know...and then boom! smh
I was pissed, government and stupid civil service rules FTL!! If thats even the truth to what happened...sum ppl tell me other employees may have filed a grievance over the hiring
Bitter? nah my dude...a lil pissed, though since i value my time more than anything. The first job i had in the bag or at least i thought. Interviewer loved me and seemed to want to hire me..why tell me later on "we think you know a little too much". Makes no sense. You saw from my resume i was a little over qualified for this position. Maybe she thought i was bluffing and called me in to see if it were true? who knows.Originally Posted by Supermanblue79
So you're the bitter serial job candidate now OP?
Change your attitude, pick it back up, and keep trying.
I know it's frustrating. I remember traveling out of state for four different interviews in the same year
and not landing the job. I kept trying and eventually landed something.
Don't give up.
