Last Friday I had a “Working Interview (4:30am-6:30am)” scheduled through Indeed after an initial phone interview where the caller (and owner of the “route”–an independent company) told me to show up at a specific grocery store at 4:30am.
At about 8:40am I checked the time; it was way past being a 2 hour interview like I planned for. I had been working the whole time, pallet jacking around pallets, stocking and rotating product which was chips and tortillas, checking dates, facing the labels right, lifting, moving, stacking boxes.
So as we were about to move to the next place in the store, I asked him was he going to pay me for the working interview? He told me no, anyways I signed out at 8:42am. I would have worked the whole day if he were going to pay me.
He did end up going with a different candidate. I honestly thought I was solid for what working skills I used in the 4 hour interview that started at 4:30am.
Oh wells, no hurt feelings. Just wanted to note an interesting thing that happened to me.
