He must have been intoxicated and not realized he spoke with her and offered to take her to the interview. I would have offered her my car if I had known she was not going to be taken to her job interview. He said he dropped the ball and he was sorry. She has been hunting for a job ever since she graduated in May. She had a 2nd interview and missed it. Is there anything you can do when you dont show up for a job interview. I am so angry at him I could scream. How would you handle this?

I'm a former Walmart employee. Trust me. They won't hire her, now. I'd be really upset with the friend. In fact, I probably wouldn't have anything to do with him for awhile....a long while.

You can forget that Wal-Mart job opportunity but here's the lesson:
I consider a Job interview to have enormous value, an activity we do NOT do everyday. An interview, being that important, consider alternative plans for transportation to any interview. If the appt was at 3pm, offer to give her a ride by 2pm (if there is a no show). In fact I would ask two people for a ride and cancel one of them once the first person shows up. No ride? Take a bus to arrive two hours early and have coffee & read a book around the corner. Or, call a taxi to arrive an hour early.
If she got the job and was paid annually about $30,000 - why would anyone risk that opportunity on one person like a friend who could easily be late or not show up?
I wouldn't hand $30,000 of my daughters money to a friend but that's what you did. It's not like we get Interviews everyday - invest in multiple forms of transportation and arrive a few hours early. Tell your friend sorry for putting such a heavy burden on him. Now is the time to show your daughter how she can be self reliant with good time management skills.

She should have contacted her employer as soon as she knew she would be late. It is true even with notice being late puts her at a big disadvantage, but she would probably have been able to re-schedule when ultimately he did not show up.
Think of it this way, at least he was not risking your daughter's life driving her around drunk. You are right to be mad at him. The main thing to do is to help your daughter with her job hunt.

forgive him and try to avoid being a paranoia....
people make mistakes sometimes ...that is part of life
unforgiving people keep it inside themselves for the rest of their lives and live in misery because of holding grudges against someone ..
if i were you ..i would ask God to help you forgive him.

Let them know you had tonsillitis and were in the hospital. You called at your earliest convenience, see if they could reschedule.
