I can't describe how this makes me feel

[gridlore]

When the Container Store people called to tell me that I didn't get the job, they told me that it was just too many applicants for a limited number of jobs.

Today, they have another want ad on craigslist. Same damn job.

If you are going to tell me I didn't get the job, don't bloody lie about why.

Now, I'm not sayin' they didn't lie to you, but there is another possibility. I used to work in the same building with a placement agency, and they bitched about something that apparently happened regularly: jobs that they'd filled months before showing up again in online ads. Apparently someone was trying to fill a quota, and didn't care whether the jobs they posted were up-to-date or not.

call, ask politely (seethe quietly).

Learned from a job councelor once that you can get all sorts of jucy tidbits of gossip if you call a job you didn't get and say you're wondering why you didn't get the job because "you're wanting to improve your interview skills" or somesuch BS
