Disappearing Acts!

Correct me if these facts are wrong:
1) We are in the midst of arguably the worst recession since the Great Depression.
2) Unemployment is the highest we have seen in most of our lifetimes.
3) Available jobs are at a precious premium.

Assuming all of the above are true, I have to ask a very simple question - WHY ON EARTH WOULD A CANDIDATE SKIP AN INTERVIEW WITHOUT THE DECENCY OF CANCELLING????? - This has happened to several of my colleagues in recent days. They have worked terribly hard to find ideal candidates for legitimate job opportunities and scheduled interviews and prepared the candidates appropriately. In some case, the candidates went AWOL, no further contact with the recruiter. For others, it was a matter of oversleeping and not bothering to notify the recruiter or hiring company.

Remember this, no shows stick with you for a very long time. Years down the road, you may look for a job to learn the person you disrespected has moved on to other clients you may desire to work for. The choice is yours.
