An HR professional took to Twitter (@VerbaIPugilist) to share an unusual occurrence where a job candidate canceled a scheduled interview to attend the annual Shiloh event at the Living Faith church, also known as Winners Chapel.
According to Hobnob News reports, the HR official detailed the sequence of events, explaining that the candidate had been slated for an interview on a particular day but failed to attend.
Following the missed appointment, the HR professional reached out to the candidate, reminding her of the scheduled interview..
To his astonishment, the candidate revealed that she was at the Shiloh grounds, choosing the religious event over the job interview.
The HR official pointed out that it was the candidate herself who had agreed on the interview date and confirmed her availability.
While expressing disappointment over the missed opportunity, the HR professional stated that the candidate would not be considered for a role in the organization.
Apparently, the incident sheds light on the challenges employers sometimes face when candidates prioritize personal commitments over professional opportunities.
The prioritization of Shiloh by the applicant on a tweet sparked reactions online, prompting discussions about the balancing act between personal beliefs and professional responsibilities in the context of job interviews.
