Teenager gets job rejection in the RUDEST way

This is so unprofessional

It normally takes a few days to hear back from a job interview, but in this case it was instant.

Megan Dixon has blasted a restaurant chain after she got a TEXT mocking her and even called her “basic”.

The 18-year-old was firstly sent a message saying “it’s a no x” just seconds after she had the interview with steak restaurant chain Miller and Carter.

Sweetly, Megan asks: “Okay. How come? X”

She then got a reply: “Just not engaging. And answers we’re “like” basic 😂”

A laughing emoji?! Seriously?

Megan posted a screenshot of the messages to Twitter saying: “Imagine going for a job interview and the woman says she will email u in a few days but then waits 1 minute after u leave to text u this 😂”

The woman that interviewed her was the branch’s assistant manager Shantel Wesson.

Talking to The Sun, the angry teen said: “It was so rude.

“At the end of the interview, I asked when I would hear back. She told me it was never more than a few days and she had my email. But I got the texts a few seconds after leaving.

“I was shocked. The least she should have given me was some proper feedback.

“And the laughing face emoji was so unprofessional. It was a really bitchy thing to do.”

Apparently, Shantel was quite rude during the whole interview process.

Megan said: “She didn’t even shake my hand, didn’t have my CV out and was just sat drinking a coffee.

“Maybe because I’m 18 she thinks it’s OK not to be professional with me? I don’t know.”

We bet Shantel is extremely embarrassed right now.

Megan just wanted to earn some extra money while she studies A-Levels at college.

A Miller and Carter spokeswoman has said: “We can’t apologise enough to Megan.

“It was never our intention to be disrespectful or upset her in any way. The texts were sent in error and were intended for our manager, not the candidate.”

She then said the matter was being taken “extremely seriously” and is going to be investigated.

We wonder how Shantel will get on in her interviews, and she probably won’t be kept on in this one!
