Vent away. So sorry to hear this. Stuff happens to everybody and I give people one chance to explain then if they let me down again I cross them off my list. Do you have a thorough pre-screen process by email or phone to weed out the disresptful people? Wishing you great luck with your next interviews.

Infuriating People tend to do this to other businesses which require an appointment - just ask your hairdresser the next time you see him/her. They are so inconsiderate of other people's time and efforts. In a way be grateful they showed their true colours up front instead of going through hell and having to terminate. Sending you good vibes. You will fill your spot

I had a no show this week too. Interview was scheduled for 6:30, I emailed her at 6:45 asking if she was still coming, or if she wanted to reschedule. She emailed me back right away (goes to her phone) saying "Oh, I forgot, sorry!" And that was all she said, didn't even answer the question. Drives me batty. I think that's the first no-show I've had though.

Oh my gosh I've had 3 no shows since feb. and even had a family (on of the no shows) come back for an interview WITH little 3 year old. After the interview the little girl did not want to leave and parents with grand parent seemed very happy and PROMISED the little girl she would come back. Made plans to make another appointement to sign the contract and they NO SHOWED and never eard from them again. TRULY poor little girl ... what else have you promised and never actualy done. I mean I was mad at the people who waste my time and efforts but there seem to be so many ... Hang in there ...there are still respectfull people out there ...Well I sure hope !

If we missed a doctor appointment of any kind we would receive a bill. Send them a bill! Wouldn't that be awesome? If we were actually paid for our time during and after work!

Aw....rude people stink ! I've been really lucky and I have only had a couple of no-show's for interviews, but I agree 100% with you. It's so disrespectful of your time, and it demonstrates a total disregard for the fact that you're meeting with them AFTER you've put in a full 10 hour day. Grrr....Keep on slogging - I 'm in the same spot as you. I have one space to fill (and I need it filled) and I am still interviewing folks. You'll find a family. In the mean time, give yourself the night off - have a long hot shower (or bath if you prefer) eat something yummy and treat yourself in some small way - just to keep your spirits up. =)

I think the worst thing that happened to me was the time a woman came a day early and I had to answer my door in my pajamas that I always jump into immediately after work when I have a nice evening to myself. She came back the next day and didn't even unbutton her coat and wasn't here very long. Yeah, thanks for wasting my time lady, what is wrong with some people? Then all of a sudden the most wonderful family in the world walks in your door with a sweet child and your faith in humanity is restored! Keep trying!

their loss! I had this happen to me alot when I was starting, it came to be one of those "when they set up the appt, I expected them not to come" things. ha ha it is the nature of the job. Just be careful...if someone doesnt show but calls later to appoligize, they better have a REALLY GOOD excuse, other wise "can them" before it actually becomes your problem. it generally shows they have little respect if they cant even call to let you know they are late, OR call to let you know they found other care. Just mark their name down, for when they screw up with the next day care and try calling you back. Dont take them! You'll fill the spot, dont worry.
