    So I got confirmation that I’ve been unsuccessful with that job I did reference checks for two weeks ago. I’ll reply to the manager about it, but not right now. I’d like to work at this place in some context and I don’t think I’ll give the nicest response if I reply immediately

      That’s so bullshit bro, like right before Xmas too. What a bunch of noodle heads.

      I hope you are able to get a job there in the future tho!

        That part’s fine. But why string me along for two weeks with reference checks to then tell me you’ve gone with someone else with more industry specific experience? Can’t they read a resume? Where I’ve worked and the other candidate has worked was apparent from the start

            I feel like it’s not that because the references were done through an online form and I helped coordinate them. They said I was the second choice and they’d like to keep me on file for any future roles that come up. So I’ve told them I’ve applied for a bunch of similar jobs there
