Twitter Users Shared Their Worst Interview Stories

#28: A Subtle Hint

During their job search a few years ago, this Twitter user had an unfortunate encounter that didn’t even occur during an interview. They had applied for a waitressing job at a local cafe, and while the hiring manager wasn’t interested in inviting them for an interview, they still felt compelled to offer some feedback.

The manager conveyed their feedback rather bluntly, responding to the CV email with a single link to a website titled “How to Write a CV.” This response lacked a greeting or constructive criticism, coming across as rather harsh. Hopefully, the job seeker had better luck with their job search following this less-than-friendly encounter.
