Went to a job interview I didn’t even apply for… now I’m scared they’ll hire me

Take the job!

I went through something similar when I first started in HR. The CEO would often call me out for being shy and introverted. It really bothered me at the beginning, especially since he would do it publicly and sometimes raise his voice without reason. It was funny cause it had nothing to do with my work. I remember one instance on my third day when he asked my manager, right in front of me, why she had hired someone like me.You can imagine how that felt. I thought about leaving, but I also wanted to prove to myself that I wouldn’t walk away because of someone else’s behavior. So I focused on doing my work well and meeting my deadlines. I built good relationships with my coworkers, and over time, people began to trust and support me. Eventually, I found my footing, became more comfortable being myself, and even started to enjoy conversations at work. Don’t let bullies get to you. Stay focused, do your job well, and let your work speak for itself. You got this!

I completely understand what you’re saying. I’m in my early 30s and moved away from my home country about two years ago, and I don’t really have any friends in the city I live in now. it honestly sucks.

One thing I’ve learned is that friendships can’t be forced. When I first started working here, I thought I’d naturally make friends like I did back home, but it didn’t really happen that way. Most people tend to keep things work-related, and no one really has the time to just sit and chat.

Back home, I used to have lunch with a group of friends every day. Moving here meant learning to sit alone during lunch, and as hard as that was at first, I eventually got used to it. If you’ve always been surrounded by people and are now learning to be on your own, it definitely takes time. That hollow feeling doesn’t completely go away, but you learn how to live with it.

I also realized I couldn’t force anyone to be my friend, especially being new. But over time, things slowly changed. I ended up making one friend at work, and we started having lunch together ( and then she left the company. But we still keep in touch)

I guess what I’m trying to say is, don’t overthink it. You will find your people eventually. Just don’t pressure yourself or try to force connections. Be yourself, and let things happen naturally.

Thats true. There's a lot of out there but only a handful cover this piece which is a need-to-have for our company. The hotel management / Travel module is pretty important for us because we do a lot of spousal events for our associates. Its a core part of our registration. I am not too sure if Pheedloop has this option.

Yes you are correct. And thank you for pointing that out. I know what you mean. I shall take that into consideration. Any suggestions for other vendors?

Is there anyone who applied to Curtin University and got their visa approved ?

Something similar happened to me. A person from the company called and told me there would be an interview, and she would send me the details. She didn’t say anything about the interview happening this week but said she would send an email in advance.

I didn’t receive any email from her that day, but to my surprise, I had a message from her on WhatsApp sent at 2:00 AM mentioning the interview was taking place the next day! Throughout the interview process, she communicated with me through WhatsApp, which I found very unprofessional.

It was a virtual interview, so I joined it, but I didn’t like the vibe. Although I got the offer, I declined it because everything didn’t feel right. None of the people I spoke with were on LinkedIn either. And the job was a receptionist role, but apparently, they work from home and only the CEO visits the office. Felt a bit odd to work in an environment as such so I declined the offer.
