Office Space (Special Edition with Flair!) [Blu-ray]Hit the six month unemployed marker this week. It's not something I am
at all pleased with. Despite countless applications, I've had exactly
two interviews since January. One was to sell cars at the local Ford
Dealership. They never even bothered to call back afterwards. The second
was last week, for a Security Company that specializes in - to be kind -
rent-a-cops.

The Phone Interview went well enough, as did the in person one. Next up was the Pee test; passed that. Then I had to submit all sorts of info for a background check. While all this was going on, we discussed a potential full-time position, between $11/13 per hour, but three 12 hour shifts. Not thrilling, but got the usual lines about potential for advancement, benefits, etc. Then comes the acceptance call. Can you show up for orientation? Sure, but what are the specifics for the job?

Well, we can offer you weekends, part time, two twelve hour shifts at $10 an hour.

As you can see, nothing remotely similar to the original discussion other than the hideous 12 hour shifts. I asked them why the offer was so radically different from the earlier version, and was told that the part-time was all that was available. I kindly declined the offer but asked them to call should a full-time position open up.

So it's back to the drawing board. As well as counting down to Delta.

This makes me sad.

You're a good guy.

It comes across easily on the 'net.

I don't know why the assholes changed the deal on you.

Hoping you'll get a great job soon - keep plugging away! You just gotta find something soon!'

((BIG HUGS))

You think getting a job is hard now? Wait to see if Republicans successfully shut down the government.

I was watching a bible thumper on TV last night crow about finding a bible passage that proves the USA will fail, and Fundys will take it over.
