A little background of the rant:I’m just a regular, hard-working person looking to join a new team and find a new opportunity after my previous role was made redundant. The job market right now is incredibly intense, challenging, and competitive, not just for candidates, but for employers too.So, I decided to take the old-school approach: I got ready, printed my CV, and popped in to see if I could meet someone in person. I thought it might be refreshing to meet people face-to-face, have a genuine conversation, and show my enthusiasm in a way that goes beyond sending endless emails.When I arrived, I was greeted by a lovely man at the building’s reception. I told him I wanted to speak to someone from the Connective3 team. He kindly went to ask and came back after a while, saying:“They said they’re busy, but you can check the roles online or leave your CV with me and I’ll pass it on.”I’m quite a persistent person, so I asked if there was any chance I could speak to someone quickly, since I had come all this way to make a genuine connection. The guy went back to ask only to return with a note containing HR email address. That was it.Really?Not one person could come out to say a quick hello, to acknowledge someone who made the effort to visit, who showed genuine interest in your company? I completely understand and respect that you are a busy agency! But nobody is that busy to show basic courtesy and respect. A simple two-minute interaction to say “Hi, thanks for stopping by” would have gone a long way.I wasn’t asking for a meeting or an interview, just a polite acknowledgment would have been enough. Nobody is that busy to be polite.It honestly felt like your team thought someone showing initiative and effort wasn’t worth even a little 2 minutes to pop outside to reception.It’s about basic human decency. Treating people with kindness and respect costs nothing, yet it makes all the difference.
