Woman sparks debate after waiting '30 minutes' for job interview when recruiter didn't show up

She stayed on the call just in case the recruiter turned up

From mind-numbing online application forms to get ghosted by recruiters, the search for a new job can be really rough. But just how far would you go to try and secure the position?

One woman has sparked debate after she waited 30 minutes for an interview when the recruiter simply didn't show up.

Sragvi - who goes by @sragvipattanaik online - shared the ordeal in a TikTok video that has since gone viral.

In the short clip, Sragvi can been seen staring awkwardly at her laptop screen as a text overlay reads: "Staying onto a no-show interview for 30 mins bc I am poor and desperate."

The caption of the video, which has been viewed more than 900k times, read: "Rough out here."

The TikToker later explained that she'd reached out to the recruiter and stayed on the Zoom call in case they saw her email and entered the call.

Sragvi's experience caused outrage in the comment section as many expressed how angry they were for her.

One person wrote: "Bro but if you were two mins late they’d call you unprofessional and move on to another applicant."

Another said: "Call them out on LinkedIn BY NAME. It's about time we start penalising HRs and recruiters for the way they ghost us."

Others shared their own interview horror stories, with one user writing: "I went to an interview where the manager was 2.5 hours late and I waited and she didn't give me the job."

Someone else commented: "My interviewer was superrr late then sent me an email to reschedule lol. She then called me a few minutes after only to have an attitude the entire time."


And a third claimed: "I had to send 3 emails and make a call to reception before I got a rejection with no feedback."

It is currently not known whether or not Sragvi heard anything back from the recruiter.

In other job interview news, an expert has revealed the one question you should ask recruiters in order to get more money (that is, if they actually show up).

Anna Papalia, the author of Interviewology: The New Science of Interviewing, told viewers of a recent TikTok video to 'never accept' an offer on the spot.

"Would you make your best offer out of the gate?" she asked, explaining that there's often 'room to negotiate' a salary once the job is yours.

Her one question: "Thank you so much, is this negotiable?"

If they say 'no' then you'll be back where you started, and if they say 'yes' there's some new wiggle-room to be found in their salary offer and you could be earning more.
