Me:*wrapping up phone interview in super shiny happy recruiter voice* ...and I'll let you know as soon as I hear back. Any questions before I let you go?
Candidate:Yeah, I have a question. Will you *really* get back to me?
Me:Uh. Yes.
Candidate:I was phone interviewed for another position last year and I never heard back. I know I was qualified. Probably the most qualified person you could find here.
Me:Oh, I see that in the system. Last March? it looks as though you were outside of the territory they wanted to cover. So it was more about your address than your skills.
Candidate:Well, someone could have told me.
Me:That's true. I'm sorry no one contacted you. But now you're dealing with me, so I promise there's nothing to worry about.
Candidate:Huh. We'll see.
Me:Oh, why don't you go sit on a tack, Sour McGrumpington?
