I know how you feel. The last 2 times I did a series of interviews, I ran into a few no shows. No phone call, no call back the next day, no text, no email, no nothing. I also love the ones who only want to know what you charge or you go through the interview only to have them say that, "Oh, well I have a few more places to see, I'll get back to you(something I would have liked to know at the beginning).
I'll admit it does tick me off. You go to the trouble to make your home perfect, set up your interview papers, schedule the time, and than you're thinking, "Why do I bother?" which is immediately followed by you praying to the Daycare Gods that this rude person is never able to place their child anywhere, which of course boils down to your next thought, "What kind of person would this individual be as a client if they don't show me any respect by keeping their appointment?"
I was raised to always keep your appointments, and if you're not going to be able to be there, phone them, at the latest, an hour or two before the interview and cancel or at least email. I know I only look after children and it's not the most sought after job in the world, but it's common decency.
My one wish though is to have the no show person be waiting on someone somewhere and have them not show up. I can dream!
