Below the video, a woman sparked discussion among viewers.
In the comment selection, several viewers shared their own similar encounters, while others criticized the recruiter for their unprofessional behavior.
One person said: If they treat you like your time is less valuable than theirs from the jump, it’ll only get worse once they know you. People show you who they are. Believe them.
A second wrote: Bro but if you were 2 mins late they’d call you unprofessional and move on to another applicant
While a third commented: I waited like 45min and I sent an email around the 20min mark and I was just completely ghosted. Not even an apology or anything.
Another said: Fr! I saw someone post on FB that their company need new hires urgently. So I requested an application not even 30 minutes later I passed through the.
It appears that this is a widespread issue, as many viewers empathized with Sragavi, relating their own experiences in the comments.
One person said: I went to an interview where the manager was 2.5 hours late and I waited and she didn’t give me the job.
A second wrote: My bf had a "interview" and they made him record himself and answer basic questions you find on Google.
Somone else said: I had to send 3 emails and make a call to reception before I got a rejection with no feedback.
My auntie stayed on for THREE HOURS once. Another added.
Sragavi clarified, 'I did, that’s why I stayed the 30 mins in case they would see'.
Later, she explained that she had contacted the recruiter and remained on the Zoom call, hoping they would notice her email and join the interview.
Sragavi's story evoked outrage among commenters, who expressed their anger on her behalf.
However, one commenter shared a positive experience, offering a contrasting perspective.
As of now, it remains unknown whether Sragavi received any response from the recruiter.
In other job interview news, an expert recently divulged the key question that candidates should ask recruiters to secure a higher salary, assuming the recruiters show up.
Anna Papalia, author of Interviewology: The New Science of Interviewing, advised TikTok viewers to "never accept" an offer immediately.
According to Papalia, if the response is "no," then there is no room for negotiation. However, if the response is "yes," there is an opportunity to explore a higher salary offer and potentially earn more.
