Lack of communication on multiple fronts. The District recruiter reached out for a quick screening followed by a scheduled interview with the store manager the following week. I received a confirmation email from the district recruiter and put it on my calendar. The day before the scheduled interview, I received a call from the district recruiter wanting to reschedule as the interviewer was on vacation. I received an email from the store assistant manager on a Sunday afternoon to meet the following morning however that was not enough lead time. I reschedule and confirm new date, time, location and contact the following week. I arrive about 20 minutes early to merely observe daily work flow from a customer perspective when finally greeted by an employee. I introduced myself and stated that I was scheduled to meet the manager for an interview. He pauses and in embarrassment let me know that the manager was at another store for the day and did not have anyone on the schedule for an interview. After leaving, I reached out to the recruiter regarding the incident and the response was, "something is wrong with the scheduler. Just call the store and ask to speak to the manager directly and schedule the interview yourself." -My thought . . . so what do you do as the HR person? I could have done that. - at any rate I finally met and interviewed with the store manager and a week later met with the district LP manager. Interviews went well and lasted about 2 hours each. After numerous contact from the days following, I heard nothing. If not offer letter coming my way at least the decency to notify me that they went another route. To conclude this ramble, with KMart's major competitor in the area I foresee many challenges facing the founders of the "Blue light special".
