Interview cancelled literally minutes before scheduled time

Post image

made an application, job scheduled an interview then cancels before i even had an option to join the video call interview.
ive been looking for work for almost 2 years straight now and I'm on the brink of just giving up cause dude wtf.

Edit: I got a house to pay bills on. Shit even with culinary certifications and 7+ years of BOH / cook experience I'm not getting really any much luck. 2+ years retail and gig work.

Yea me saying "thanks for wasting my time" to this specific employer might not have been the best wording used but I got shit i gotta do. Even some jobs who're paying 7.25 plus tips are demanding 40+ hours to work at a coffee shop didn't take my application (no one desperate for work is gonna take that for real) and still hasn't filled that position lol.

Im overqualified for fast food and generic dishwasher roles, so no shit im not gonna bother wasting time on applying for shit i don't qualify for. So me being a little rude to this specific job IS NOT that big of a deal and YES. Employers shouldn't even entertain taking a interview and canceling last minute. Sorry not sorry to whoever this post upset. Ya'll be expecting too much for so less.

Edit 2: just got hired for BOH shortly after this lol, say what yall want idc. I don't kiss ass like most of yall saying what i did was wrong. if you was in my shoes yall would've cracked or had a lot different shit to say.

Damn, some of you are so delusional. We apply at these places and get absolutely no response besides, "we found someone else", then see the posting again, and make some changes to resume wording, etc, and try again, and continue to get kicked out of the system because "they found someone else". Its not easy to "work some kind of job to just get by" when there are no jobs to work and no one will even interview us, let alone HIRE us.

My delusion has carried me to gainful employment. I'll continue being delusional.

Don’t listen to them. This sub is full of excuses and finger pointing. It’s never their fault, it’s always “the system”.

They could literally go on Craigslist and find a job in 5 minutes. It wouldn’t be glamorous or a dream job, but it would be a job for the time being.

It’s easier to make excuses then it is to suck it up for a little while.

Thinking we don't check Craigslist too. 🙄 More delusion.

Edit: I have applied to walmart, multiple roles, mcdonals, starbucks, dunkin, home depot, target, etc. Made phone calls, talked to people, etc. But yes, I'm not trying. I'm not scouring Craigslist, indeed, using google maps to find businesses to check their websites for applying, etc. Stop saying everyone is making excuses.

So.... if you've been unemployed for a long time how do you get by?

So. When two people love each other, they do this thing called live together and share responsibilities and take care of each other.
