I received a call from a consultancy stating that my resume had been shortlisted. They scheduled the interview for the next day, Saturday, at 11:00 AM sharp.

I arrived on time. There wasn't a crowd, as only 2-3 other candidates were present. The HR representative called me inside and had me sit in an interview room. He mentioned that the panel would be arriving soon.

I waited for one hour, then two hours, then three hours. I was losing hope. I called the HR representative again, and he asked me to wait a couple of minutes more. I waited again.

After some time, the HR representative came and told me to have lunch, and that the interview would commence immediately after.

I went for lunch and returned to the interview room afterward. The waiting began again. After a while, the HR representative reappeared and asked me to wait five more minutes, stating he was going to call the panel, I presumed. Another half an hour passed.

I lost my patience and left. I did not want to waste my entire day sitting alone in a room. They are very irresponsible and seem to believe we are begging for a job. If this is the respect shown to a candidate before an interview, one can only imagine the future...

No questions.
