[QUOTE="Star*, post: 440144, member: 4964"] So I'm getting these mixed referrals from unemployment - I'm still trying for the CDL jobs - but now they've thrown in office work as well - This morning I call a job =PT, office work, M-F 8-12 - pays 10-14 an hour call Mr. Stein - okay - there were 2 listed. So I do. There is an address listed and I thought I was in the general vicinity knowing where the road was. I call and the conversation went something like this Good morning XYZ CO. GOOD morning My name is Star, I'm calling about the position you advertised for PT assistant. I'm looking for Mr. Stein (not my dream job but I'm upbeat and perky) Yes - Which one? Well the ad said to ask for either X or Y Oh well I'm X Very Good, May I ask a little about the job? Didn't the paper say it's for an assistant? Yes Then that's what it's for. Okay then. May I set up a time for an interview. Do you know where XYZ Road is? I believe I do. OH DO YOU? Where is it? OFf of ABC Road. NO YOU ARE WRONG. DO you know where BLH BLH bldg is? Yes I do. It's 2 lights past that, turn left, then turn left again. and we are on right. Alright - thank you - what time would you like me there? Anytime before noon. Well thank you very much. Okay - Now I'm all about INFORMAL and all - But TWO RED FLAGS HERE -Or is it just me? 1.) RIGHT OFF THE BAT.........He yells - YOU ARE WRONG. (nightmares of my old TYPE A boss flash through my head) and I'm thinking is it just me being out of the work force so long or is this really a red flag. 2.) ANYTIME interview? What if he's conducting another interview? Am I just supposed to sit and wait? I mean - THATS kinda BS to me.....I don't want to be sitting there waiting - Is this more of a looksie looks interview for personal asst in a warehouse district?? And its a brothers run business? I mean PT would keep my unemployment rolling until I could find my dream job - but I'm just wondering - Is it just ME and red flags here or do you see them too? Oh and by the way - the ROAD????? WAS where I was thinking - and IT WAS off the road I told him - just a different way to get there. LOL> [/QUOTE]
