[quote=Anonymous]I can relate, OP. I recently interviewed with a family for a position that was advertised as "after school position, 5:30pm-7:30pm 5 nights per week." They offered $20/hr and guaranteed hours, and live within a mile of me. We exchanged several emails, discussing everything in detail, and had a brief phone interview before setting up the actual interview.

At the end of the interview, they asked if I also could do morning drop offs for their son on occasion (7:30am-9am). I explained that my daytime nanny job is 8-4, so I couldn't do the morning shifts. MB could tell I was surprised, and said "oh, I thought I mentioned it in one of my emails," and I assured her that no, she had not. She said, "well, we really enjoyed meeting you and your reviews on care.com were great, and the mornings really aren't a deal breaker," and asked me to give her my references (which I had previously told her I would give to her after we met face to face).

Well, I gave her my (gushing, glowing, amazing) references, and one week later she emailed me to say "you were great, but we ended up hiring a candidate who was available for morning drop offs, too."

Fucking great, lady. Way to completely waste my time! [/quote]
