She tells me how I had the most experience of any of the applicants. She tells me that I would have been great for the job. She then mentions that another candidate had experience in a small print shop and he wasn't late for his interview. So they hired him.

Yes, I was late. I took the wrong exit on the highway, got terribly lost and I was 30 mins. late. They almost didn't interview me. But my resume is very strong, so they did me a favor and had me waste an hour and a half interviewing with them. If my getting lost was such a big deal, maybe they should have told me on the phone not to bother coming in, instead of spending 15 mins. on the phone helping me get un-lost.

The art director did mention after the interview that she's always late for work. If she's scheduled for 8:00 - she won't show up until 8:30. (Isn't that a strange thing for her to confess?)

Why did she send a f**king detailed message of why she didn't hire me, instead of a standard form message saying "Thanks for applying, but we hired someone else"? Is she not only a lesbian, but a sadist?

I can't help but hope that the guy they hired doesn't have a clue about color correction for 4-color printing.
