I had the most interesting phone call at work today.
The HR interns, other than me, were doing recruiting calls this morning. After they left, I was basically studying our products and answering any phone calls. I answer the phone right before I'm ready to be done for the day, and it is the usual: person returning a call about a position. I do my usual scripted response: these are the positions, we'd love to bring you in for an interview, yadda yadda. Most of the time, they'll tell you no, ask a few more questions, or say yes.
This was not one of those times.
The man on the other end starts yelling at me. Basically, he called just to yell at someone. He asks if I even looked at his resume. I tell him no, as I was not the person who called him. He asks why we would call him for a sales job since his experience is not in sales. I tell him a wide variety of experience translates to doing sales, but I'd be happy to take him off our list if he wasn't interested. And he continues.
Meanwhile, he called on the line thay has the phones that need to be replaced because only the speaker phone works. So the entire office hears this butt hole yelling, and there's basically silence and some horrified stares.
Finally, I tell him the most I can do is take him off our call list. At that point, I had had enough, and I hung up on him, even though he was continuing to yell. Good grief. I thought, "I offer you an interview for a job, and that's how you treat me? You sir, are an a**." The entire office was sympathetic, but boy, what a d-bag. Can't imagine what he's like to customer service people.
