Turn down a job offer ?

Ingrid

Hello!

I’ve recently graduated and finished my degree in Forensic Science and I’ve recently been applying to jobs. Now there’s this one job that sent an email for an online interview in which I completed in less than 3 hours. After that a recruiter called me to meet in person with the hiring manager. I bought myself a professional attire and new shoes and even printed out my resume ! Spent around 130$! When I get there, I arrived 30 minutes earlier and go to the front receptionist to only be told the hiring manager wasn’t there. They give me her number and our interview only lasted 3 minutes via phone !!! She then asked to see me again on Wednesday so I agreed same time same location. On Wednesday morning I cancelled everything to give it a second shot got ready early and as I am ready to walk out an hour before of my interview I received a text message saying my interview will now be the following Monday. I was extremely disappointed and upset about this. I received another confirmation email to either confirm or turn down. I feel like I should turn this opportunity down as I feel like they were wasting my time completely. I’ve never been rescheduled so much for an interview. It was at a laboratory as a technician by the way.

I’ have research experience, laboratory experience I hold an associate degree, a bachelors degree and also I am a mom . I got bills to pay ! Ugh. Of course I will do it politely.
