If u ever apply there again and they see your name, it's a wrap. They won't even consider u. Your name is probably on one of those "don't Hire list" for that company and their affiliates.

Good or bad thing? Does that make me look bad?? They even called me 15 minutes after the time I was supposed to show up and reminded me about the interview..
I say its your loss if you don't wanna get money. But dont be afraid to tell them that youve changed your mind and you wont be coming to the interview....

man up..you contacted them and thats the only reason they contacted you...

people who will flake on a interview dont need a job anyway...if you cant take the first step serious fuck it. and i know some people who are like that and they have shitty jobs.

and if you dont wanna work at a job dont apply for it....you might be helping to aid to the stereotypes of younger workers as bieng flakes and lazy.

they were courteous enough to call you when you couldnt even be courteous enough to just say you found something else..and 15 minutes ahead sounds like they knew u was gon flake anyway. 15 minutes after would make more sense.

sounds like you applied to carls jr. or something...

This job is for a part-time (25 hrs a week!) accounting job at the city hall in my city that pays 35-40K. It's basically governmental accounting. Hell ya the pay is good, but I didn't want the job. I also wasn't prepared for the interview as well as the written test I had to take. I interned with them before and didn't like the environment. While I was working there, I felt like a prisoner and seemed as if I was being watched 24/7.

They did call me up to apply for the opened position and I did. Sent my resume and all, but after I met with the accountant that is already working in the city hall it made sense that I shouldn't go back and should venture out into private companies rather that governmental/non-profit entities. There was a lot of political BS going on as well as some conflict of interest within the department. Plus I wasn't sure if this job will expand my experience more than what I already learned in my internship. I decided last minute not to go and didn't know whether to call them or not and let them know I won't be making it to the interview. Man I should have tho..

What's cool tho, right after I posted this thread I got a phone call from an Executive Recruiter asking me to give him a call for this staff accountant job opportunity they have in Concord.

I guess I decided to rather go for a workplace where I am happy rather than feeling like a prisoner ya feel? Plus this shit is accounting, and I need to test out the water with private companies to see if accounting is really my thing.. Yea I agree its stupid that I bailed out on the interview, but man I wasn't prepared for shit. This isn't like no damn Starbucks, McDonalds, BestBuy, CircuitCity, Verizon, etc. job inteview.. This shit was the real deal!
