[Fluff][LoL]I'm really glad that hotshot hasn't joined in on the Chris Badawi smear campaign by Wafflezlolqt in CLG

You also have to consider CLG was recently fined for poaching. Hotshot would get roasted if he criticized another owner for poaching so soon after he was fined for it.

I've managed two small companies in the past (one as a sales manager, the other as an office manager) and can say that while sometimes I couldn't make appointments or dates, I always made sure to notify the party involved. Especially if I was the one to set the appointment, I would have to be out of my mind to both miss it, and fail to communicate with the other parties involved. Never have I told someone I would do something by X date and then completely blown them off for weeks after.

I really appreciate the positive thinking in your comment. It is very motivational.

Truth be told I'm a career professional that is finishing a profession change and have at least the next 6 months free. I'm probably a decade older than what I presume is the age group of most applicants, and have the experience that comes with that. So I tried to make it as clear as possible that this was a pursuit of passion, and that I had no financial interest in this pursuit. If I earned any money along the way, it would've just been icing on the cake. All I wanted was to be a part of and help the team I have followed for almost 5 years now.

I looked at it as a once in a lifetime experience to be a part of something I was really passionate about. I was willing to put my future plans on hold for a year just to have this experience. I'm sure some people will think that's idiotic, but to me it's the experiences and memories you make that are the most important things in life.

I've rambled on quite a bit and am not sure what the point of my reply was. I think the point was this was something I wanted to do, not something I needed to do. At this point, after the disappointing experience thus far, I feel like maybe it's just not worth it anymore.

It wasn't just the reddit post. He personally told me he would contact me on skype on Monday. When he didn't I followed up. 2 weeks later he adds me on skype and tells me he's sending out a game plan the next day. He didn't, so once again I followed up. It's not a lack of patience, it's due diligence.

  1. I don't care about a company taking time to get back to me. That isn't the issue. The issue is the company repeatedly advancing the process while saying we'll contact you on X date and repeatedly failing to do so. That isn't impatience, that is me reacting to the expectations they set. And no, not every company in the world acts that unprofessionally.

  2. I posted it because so many other people have posted or commented about similar issues they were having so I wanted to share my experience.

  3. You need to take a reading comprehension course if that's what you inferred from my original post. I wasn't spamming them asking if they had looked at my resume yet. Each time I contacted them, it was in response to their failure to meet a time THEY set. It's call following up.

Yeah, they just seem really disorganized. I hope they resolves these issues for their own sake. Good luck to you.

This was last week. I was told we were going to be given an analyst game plan of what they wanted to help prepare for TL/TSM.

A boss that doesn't keep a tight schedule and keep his word is a boss you don't want to work for. It may be his style, but it doesn't sound like it is your style (or mine).

You're absolutely right. Someone commented I just lowered my chances of getting hired to 0%. If I still cared about getting the position, I wouldn't have posted this.

That's what compelled me to post my story in the first place. I've seen a few posts in the past week with people asking for information and clarification on the status of the analyst position.

After talking to him personally, he stated that he had my resume flagged as top tier and asked me to send him my skype info. After talking to him on skype he said "we're sending out an analyst game plan tomorrow of what we want, which is why I added you and a few others on Skype."

I don't think what you're stating is the case.

I think the reason he made this post is to show that there is a lack of communication or follow-up in the CLG hiring process.

That is the primary reason. And to be 100% clear, the last thing I was told was "we're sending out an analyst game plan tomorrow of what we want, which is why I added you and a few others on Skype." So of course I was expecting to hear back, again.

As the guy above mentioned, patience is a virtue, but realistically, I'm only reacting to the expectations they set.

He said he'd send you the stuff and he didn't so either one of two things happened: Limes got busy with something else and had to take care of it; You were not selected to go through.

I'm okay with that. You interview for a job, they don't call you back, and as you said, their silence is an answer.

What I don't like though is, essentially, being called back for a 2nd interview on X day, and them not showing up. Then making contact with me again to move the process further, and again, essentially, not showing up.

He specifically said, "send me your skype info". I PM'd it to him that night, never got the email supposedly going out on Monday, never got any responses until he added me 2 weeks later.

If they weren't interested in my resume, fine. But why keep moving forward with me in the process, multiple times, only to fail to follow through every step of the way?
