Idea for new business venture

Since i have been going through many job interviews I had a thought that maybe I should start a website dedicated to not only letting people know how well a company performs an interview but also when to know a company is misrepresenting the job.

My recent interview with a Super Store has left me with that bad taste again.
While they were very well versed in the interview they sold me a sob story about how they were short staffed and really needed to hire some people quick. That was a line of bull. Here's why.
First I was informed that the person that handles the calling of references was out sick and no calls could be made that day.
If I was a manager and was in need of people I would make these calls myself instead of relying on a single person. Which was also a lie because i contacted the people I used as references and found out that 2 different people called him and left messages.
STRIKE ONE

Second point
Today I was supposed to go in for my final interview and Drug screening.
I was called this morning 45 minutes before I was supposed to be there and was told that the Manager that inputs the information in the system did NOT put mine in and they could NOT make the job offer. And not only that, today was his day off.
Again, is there not someone else that can sit at a computer and put this information in?
It seems that this great and desperate need for hiring new employees is a total farce. So now i have to go in tomorrow for my final interview.
Needless to say, that is STRIKE TWO as far as this store is concerned.

Yes, I do NEED a job, but as far as jumping through hoops or playing games to get one is not in my best interest.

My final point to all this is, how can a company expect me to not only be on time but to do my job when apparently Management can NOT do theirs?

Let's see if they manage STRIKE THREE tomorrow.

Well, keep slogging. One of these days you will find that fine balance between your present predicament and an employer you can tolerate. You always go through a lot of head changes when you are in desperate times.

Just keep in mind that you are part of history. Your angst is everyone’s angst—except mine, because enrollment always goes up at technical colleges during recessions.
