One recruiter horror story is when a recruiter promised a high - paying job with great benefits. But when the candidate showed up for the interview, it was for a completely different, much lower - level position. The recruiter had misrepresented the job just to get the candidate in the door.
A recruiter horror story that stands out is when a recruiter shared a candidate's personal information without permission. The candidate had given some sensitive details about a past work situation during the initial screening. Then, the recruiter casually mentioned it to the hiring manager in a way that made the candidate look bad. This is a huge breach of trust. Recruiters should always protect the privacy of candidates. They are in a position of power and should handle information with care.
One of the worst stories I know is when a recruiter lied about the location of the job. They told the candidate it was a local position, but in reality, it required a lot of traveling or even potential relocation. The candidate had made it clear that they couldn't relocate, and this misinformation led to a lot of disappointment and wasted effort on both sides.
Well, I heard a story where the matchmaker promised a lot but delivered very little. They said they had this perfect match for a person, but when they finally met, it turned out that the matchmaker had lied about some basic things like the person's educational background. This led to a very awkward and quickly ended relationship.
One horror story is when the Postmates driver got completely lost and took over an hour extra to deliver a simple meal. By the time it arrived, the food was cold and inedible. Another time, a customer's package was delivered to the wrong address, and it took days to sort out the mess. And there was also a case where the driver was rude to the customer when they asked about the delay.
There was a case where a marine recruiter pressured a young person into signing up without fully explaining the long - term implications. The recruit had some mental health issues that the recruiter overlooked. During basic training, the recruit really struggled and didn't get the proper support, which made his experience a nightmare.
One horror story could be dealing with extremely rude customers. Some customers might make inappropriate comments or touch the workers without permission. For example, a Hooters worker once shared that a customer kept making lewd remarks about her uniform. It made her feel uncomfortable and violated at work.
A friend of mine hired a contractor to build a deck. The contractor used sub - standard materials that started to rot within a year. When my friend confronted him, the contractor disappeared and didn't answer any calls or emails. My friend had to hire another contractor to fix the mess and it cost him double the original amount.
One horror story is about infections. Some people got severe infections after lip piercing. The area around the piercing became red, swollen and oozed pus. It was extremely painful and took a long time to heal even with antibiotics.
My sister got a stomach bug right before an important job interview. She was so pale and sweaty. She tried to hold it together during the interview but had to run out in the middle to vomit. She lost the job opportunity because of it. She was in so much pain and discomfort during that time. It took her days to fully recover and get over the disappointment.
One horror story could be when a PlayStation was sent for repair due to a disc drive issue. After weeks of waiting, it came back with a completely different problem - the console wouldn't turn on at all. It seemed like they didn't even test it properly before sending it back.
One horror story could be getting a sample that was clearly spoiled. For example, a customer took a bite of a sample sandwich only to find the meat smelled rancid. Another might be when the sample giver was extremely pushy. They wouldn't take no for an answer and made customers feel uncomfortable. And there was a case where a sample had an ingredient that someone was allergic to but it wasn't clearly marked. A customer had a minor allergic reaction right there in the store.
