Well she learned real quick that I was NOT committed. Just because she makes the job her life does not mean I am willing to as I have a life :) She apparently did not have much of a personal life. Very sad actually. Ohhhh, just noticed your site, I am headed there now. We will be upgrading to a 5th wheel as soon as funds allow :) Sweet! Bill, yes I think you are right.

I think that they use this as a test to see who is really "committed" - there's so much pressure to find "committed employees" etc. and (in their defence) many people make a lot of claims on their interview. In their perspective, they're probably trying to see who "really" wants the job - doesn't make it right, however a good way to screen people! - Bill M This totally happens! all the time.

Anyway, she found a company that sounded fabulous with great pay, location was what she wanted and it was the area of interest she was looking for. That said, she did a google search and found "9 pages" yes I said 9 pages of complaints about this company and they all where similar and stated their recruiting process was in fact a "Dog & Pony Show" to pull the wool over the prospects eyes because what they say about the positions is utterly a lie and their employees there are used and abuse and MISERABLE and many have gotten divorced because of the demands from this place. I'm glad she found it and I agreed with her she should skip them if her upcoming marriage and possible family meant anything to her.

Often times, the experience they describe during the recruiting process can be dramatically different than the actual day-to-day experience. .-= Joseph Smith´s last undefined ..<a href="0" rel="nofollow">Response cached until Sat 6 @ 22:45 GMT (Refreshes in 23.88 Hours)</a> =-.

I have to agree with you she should have told you the change of hours before you went. That interview sounds like it was a huge waste of time.

And oh yeah didn't mention the transportation cost considering I live out in the country and drive a F350 Dually that only gets 10 miles to the gallon (we have to have this vehicle to pull our big camper soon to be 5th wheel) the trip actually cost me $14.03 to be exact! I was not a happy camper to say the least. Thanks for visiting my little piece of the internet world ;) You are so right!

This is true whether they alter the nature of the work, the hours or the benefits. By not being upfront the company does not give you all the required information to determine if going to the interview is worth your investment of time and transportation cost. .-= Asburn Homes´s last blog ..<a href="http://dulleshomeguy.com/village-at-waxpool-community-profile/" rel="nofollow">Village At Waxpool, Community Profile</a> =-.
