I was looking for full-time work 2 summers ago, and happened across Mr. Kunselman's job posting for a towing company customer sevice representative on a popuar open forum website. The job site wasn't far from home, the hourly wage he offered seemed reasonable, our phone conversation was quite professional... He said that I sounded like exactly what he was looking for and asked me to come in for an interview later that day.
I show up at the address and suite number he provided... The last suite in the back. No signage anywhere, no employees, no tow trucks, no vehicles anywhere. I walk in, and the place looked like the company just moved in (or out)... Just a desk, a computer, and a rather large, dirty, crude sounding individual cursing at someone on his cell phone.
Interview went fine for about 10 minutes, then out of nowhere, for some ungodly reason, Mr Kunselman decides to tell me a dirty joke, then a story about a woman that used to work for him that came to the office one day sporting vibrating panties. His statements, stories, and comments became increasigly innapropriate as the seconds ticked by. Then came the hint..."Just how good ARE you? Maybe we should take trip to the back and find out."
Now, I have a pretty thick skin... I have worked for companies that were predominantly male, and have just about heard it all, and even less shocks me when it comes to the things males say and do. But I was there in response to a job posting, dressed appropriately to interview for what I thought to be a legitimate customer service job, and in no way expected anything like that.
I think that there were flame footprints on the pavement as fast as I ran out of there. Not knowing what to do about what had just hapened, I went home, calmed down, and tried to forget about the whole thing.
Recently, I have seen other postings about how this man is treating poeple, triggering the rushing of that horrible supressed memory to the front of my brain. I have to say something about what happened to me... This man has got to be stopped!
