I recently went through a frustrating experience while applying for a position at a local restaurant/bar called Moodys. After initially reaching out to them on Instagram, I was surprised when they invited me for an interview just a few days later. However, when I arrived, the person who had contacted me wasn't there, and another employee conducted the interview without prior notice. Despite the confusion, he seemed positive about my chances of getting hired. The following day, I received a text from Kimberly, the manager, saying she heard the interview went well and asked if I could come in for training that day. Excited, I replied that I had just come down with a cold and would love to come in for training in a few days instead. Unfortunately, I didn't hear back. The next day, I followed up to inform them that I tested positive for COVID-19 and would need to quarantine. Again, I received no response. Feeling discouraged, I called on Friday to let them know I was asymptomatic and had been fever-free for over 24 hours, expressing my continued interest in the job. Despite my efforts to communicate, I can't shake the feeling that my illness may have cost me the opportunity. I felt a strong connection during the interview and was genuinely excited about the position. Now, I'm left wondering if they simply moved on to another candidate because I couldn't start immediately due to my health.
