I absolutely agree. These companies waste your time when they really had no intention of hiring you. I don’t know what criteria they are looking for when they hire.

You have jump through all these hoops just to get an interview and then when you do they say they’ll be in touch which they never actually do.

FWIW, I've never visited a Boston Market to eat and never will.

The reason: When my kids were looking for their first job, they had a big banner out which said

Now Hiring, Immediate Interviews and Decision

I tried to explain to the girls that they really didn't mean it, but they insisted on trying. So I let them and they found out Dad was right. Nothing against Boston Market, really. Because so many companies do this. But Boston Market did it to my daughters.

Anyway, Chick Fil'A hired them not long after that experience and, then, their little sis, when she turned of age. Our Friday night dates consisted of going to Chick Fil'A to see our girls at work. They are grown up and gone now, but guess where we still eat regularly?

What's even worse is when you have to go through the company's website. I can only imagine how many applications and resumes they get, and usually there's no hiring manager to speak to.

I went to a place that had an ad in the local newspaper> The guy there said he wasn't really looking for anybody, he just wanted his people to see the ad and tighten up fearing that somebody was going to get the ax.
