My nephew graduated from college this past May with a BA in Political Science. He's pondering grad school, but not for another year or two. In the mean time he needs employed. He was offered a full time (with benefits position) at a major Department Store. He had a time scheduled to finish the processing for his I-9 information.

He goes to Human Relations at the appointed time, meets with the administrator who had offered him the position, and she told him even though she had offered the position, she had to pull the offer because one of the managers of the department he was going to work in, had offered the position to an associate.

This is getting ridiculous. In this case HR and management didn't communicate. Why even advertise jobs that are going to be given to internal candidates?

If he's unlucky, he'll be like me, near 3 years without a job.

On editing: where the hell was brain & fingers when I originally posted this?
