So here it is.<\/p>\n
It’s been a week or two after I had thought about writing an update.. and truth be told I had an extensive update typed up two nights ago but there were some technical difficulties and it was lost in the digital wave.<\/p>\n
So lets begin with Chase. To put it simply, it is no longer. I am no longer working at Chase. I spoke to some of the management and let them know that I could not continue to work for the company. I really wanted something not call center based. They were very understanding, more than I had anticipated. It was good, plus I am rehire-able for future positions if I find I am interested in applying again.<\/p>\n
About the same time I was offered a job at Mollen immunization. I would verify medical documents that needed to be in their system. In addition to paperwork that might need to be checked over and whatnot. It paid 10 per hour and was pretty far away from where I live, but I considered it a good opportunity to once again finally get out of the call center work.<\/p>\n
I suppose I thought wrong. Let me explain.<\/p>\n
It began two weeks ago this Sunday at orientation. They had informed me that the need was strong to start ASAP. This was my understanding as well. Why else would you host an orientation on Sunday Sept 11th? Other than that it seemed to be what I wanted to hear too, busy with lots of work. Plus there was an option for overtime. Lots of it. Even better.<\/p>\n
At the end of orientation they told me and everyone else (after pulling each one aside to tell them individually) that work would not start for at least another week as there wasn’t enough work to start right away.<\/p>\n
Um… in this economy that’s not so much what I want to hear. Did I also mention it would be a temp job? Yep. It was scheduled to end in December.<\/p>\n
They told us we would hear something by Thursday. So I wait. I waited and heard nothing. I contacted them and have received no response.<\/p>\n
Saturday comes along and I finally get a working schedule emailed to me- except it’s part time. Really? Even better than that, I get a call later that day saying that the next week schedule that I had received is inaccurate and will need to be pushed back another week due to low levels of work. Also, the hours are given based on work. So some weeks might be part time, others full time.<\/p>\n
Really? Could it get any worse?<\/p>\n
A day or two later I receive a call explaining that they have an opening in high demand for a new position. They thought that I would be a great fit. Not only that but I’d be able to keep my rate of pay going forward. As if that were some kind of favor.<\/p>\n
“it will be strictly phone work, in a call center setting”. I’d be taking calls all day, everyday.<\/p>\n
I didn’t like what I heard. I felt that perhaps this company wasn’t really hiring with the intent to give me the other job. I let them know that I couldn’t move forward with their offer. In turn, they have not contacted me once since then. I assume I’ve heard the last of them as they fail to effectively communicate unless it is them who wants or needs something.<\/p>\n
Fun times, right? I’ve not had that experience before, but in this economy I can believe it.<\/p>\n
For the record I find it annoying. I’ve been applying to other jobs but have not heard anything from anyone that wasn’t spam or a scam.<\/p>\n
I have however been watching a tv series to occupy some spare time.<\/p>\n
