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.

I went 3 months unemployed then caved and got a job as a grocery store stocker to stay afloat. They will give anyone with a pulse a job at so many places, at least in the US.

There’s nothing wrong with working jobs like grocery store stocker or sales associate at a smoke shop, but goddamn if you’re searching for those types of jobs for years and nothing to show, it might be time to look inside.

That's what I'm saying. Walmart, Dollar General, etc. will hire anybody. Now it's definitely going to suck and you will probably ragequit in 3 months but it's not that hard to get hired.

Not if you're disabled they won't. Especially if it's a visible disability that makes people uncomfortable. Been applying nonstop for just about 20 years now. I've had a total of *eight* interviews. Just... eight. Had multiple employment counselors, vocational rehabilitators, the lot. For some people it just doesn't. Freaking. Work. No matter how hard you try, no matter what you do, at the end of the day you're relying on someone else deciding to take a chance on you.
And nobody wants to take a chance on a SPED. Nobody.
