I can't stress this enough to all of you out there: when you think I, Anonymous you should actually be thinking WHY Anonymous.

Why cant you ask that company for some follow up?
Why cant you politely let them know you are still waiting for a yay or nay?
Why can't you just have some balls and try showing up first day for the job and make it as awkward as hell for them to explain there is a huge misunderstanding and you were not hired?

Hell screw the Zooey DaChunnel glasses and try some Zooey Dachunnel TEARS.

Go get yourself some. If you have enough piss about this to type a wall of text on here then you need to get it OUT girl. I'm worried you might pull some pdx passive aggressive bs on some unsuspecting civilian (like me) if you bottle this up inside so please: dont be anonymous- go get up in their FACE for once.
I'm done.

You waited for 3 weeks to hear back from 1 single job interview?

I'm tired of people claiming that Portland is so very hard to find work. It's easy. Easy as anyplace else. You just have to apply for more than 1 job, like anyplace else. And not wait 3 weeks between interviews to see if you got it, like anyplace else.

Here's how the whole world works, including Portland. You drop off 10-20 resumes per day and take any interviews that seem like a place you could work. Go to the interviews, dropping resumes off to other places on your way. Then while your waiting to here back from an interview, drop off more resumes and go on more interviews. Do this until you get a job.

Dream Job = Elk head mounts, and fresh wood paneled walls? When i read this, i picture EVERY Chevy Chase movie, that's ever been made.

The vegan scones might have got you the job. Where do you think the cupcakes came from?

it's entirely possible that the person that wrote this employed, just not in the field they perhaps went to school for. maybe the position they applied for is hard to come by, there was a great opportunity and they went for it while still working their other job.

applying for a job doesn't necessarily mean that person is unemployed.

Clearly they didn't hire you because you are a foolish idiot that purchased fake glasses at Urban Outfitters.

Employment is the salve for soulless automaton robotic android slaves entrapped in bondage and servitude to the evil whims of the despotic banking class oppressors. Throw off the coercive shackles of economic subjugation and come to the street to steal Portland Mercurys and roast pigeons, squirrels, and raccoons with me. Reclaim the freedom that is your birth right.

Oh, you wanted a "creative" job at a "cool" company that bleeds hip? The kind that seems to spend more time promoting itself on Instagram than actually working? The kind that will pay you enough to buy all the lifestyle stuff you saw in the Portland brochure, like a $3000 "commuter" bike, a boatload of vintage clothes, and a house at 28th and Belmont?

The line starts over there ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

Sending no response to the general applicant pool has unfortunately just become business as usual, but not replying to someone you've interviewed in person is unacceptable. Hiring and human resource skills have gone into the toilet. It's dehumanizing for everyone involved.

Even the person you eventually hire probably had to go through some gauntlet of shitty manners for a few weeks before the interview, putting a bad taste in their mouth before they even start.

But you may have dodged a bullet. Wood paneling and taxidermy would have been "creative" around 2005. Now they are obvious and derivative.

Sounds like someone didn't get hired at Widen and Kennedy...

You weren't the right fit for the job or someone else was a better fit...get over it, move on...when you find the dream job you will know it and they will know it...

WELL YEAH, VEGAN SCONES WOULD HAVE BEEN A START, BUT MAYBE DON'T BE SUCH A HEINOUS ASSHOLE?

You can have my job.
