minus-squarepinball_wizard@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 hours ago A better but boring answer, just say “nevermind, I don’t want this job” first thing. lol. Story time: That happened to me. I was the interviewer. The canidate showed up and answered my first question with “I accepted another offer this morning.” It was a short interview. I think my notes just said “poor communication skills”, which seemed nicer than “didn’t occur to them to text rather than show up”.
minus-squareJackbyDev@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·17 minutes agoI’m zeroing in on a better method. I think “I no longer want this job and have accepted another. I am ineligible to work in this country. I am a felon.” seems like a pretty good.
