Biggest Pet Peeve of All
When I ask how much the position pays, at least give me a fucking range so I know whether or not it's worth wasting my time.
In most cases I have to drive alllllll the way out to your location, give myself a hand cramp filling out your application even though alllllll of that information is already on my carefully prepared and printed out resume, set up a time to come BACK to your location at a later date and make the trip all over again because you are inconsiderate of the fact that I'm already in person in your lobby at the time that I fill out that application, and put myself through the rigors of getting dressed up and prepared for a demeaning interview just to find out that you are paying $.02 more than minimum wage which I can make just by working at the gas station two feet from my apartment.
Don't Fucking Waste My Time.
I know that the final wage will be determined upon hiring, but if I get the impression that you aren't going to pay enough then just answer my question. I usually don't ask unless I have that gut feeling that it won't be enough. Give me a range that you would be happy paying me and I can decide if you deserve my time and not vice versa.
Yes, definitely the BIGGEST PET PEEVE OF ALL when it comes to job hunting.
EDIT: They're lucky they look like a sizable company and might actually pay decently. I think I'll still go through the crap to apply with them, but I really do hate going this route. At least I have contact information instead of just faxing a resume and never hearing from the potential job at all.
