HR is getting a bad rap here, when the net net is that the candidate was not truthful on their application.
Other than having several interviews, a company takes a chance on an unknown quanity when they hire someone. The information on the app was not truthful -- that implies integrity issues. Given the current climate in a Sarbanes-Oxley world, we now have an example of what seems like nothing, ending up being something. Falsification of application is grounds for termination at my company, as I'm sure it is at most.
This was not a clerical error on the part of the school, and I don't know anyone who doesn't know when exactly they graduated from college.
Sorry about your luck with this. Let this be a life lesson, that integrity matters. Now, it's time to let that job go; let that company go. Companies are hiring like crazy, and you shouldn't have any trouble finding a position. Just make sure that your qualifications match the requirements for the job that you are applying for.
Good luck with your job search. |

This kid did nothing wrong, NOTHING. If a company (or a candidate for that matter) rescinds an offer that's one thing, but to hang a new college grad out to dry in such a manner is another.
If you tell me the name of the company, I'll vow never to patronize them.
Certainly, they are not the only game in town, and there must be other companies more worthy of patronage.
And yes, I have been burned in the past in similiar ways.
Bitter? No. Motivated? Yes.
