Ripoff Company: Don't Waste your Time, Find your Job on your Own

I recently became unemployed and have been searching the regular job websites jobs.net, monster.com, yahoo hot jobs, etc.

I have been looking for an office type job and ran across many listings that were all for 'AppleOne'. For every job it says " Call for details." So, I called for details they informed me that I had to be registered with their company to even apply for the job to begin with. This brought up my first question..

1) If I have to be signed with your company why are you posting these job positions on public space, where you are suppose to be able to send resumes online, via fax, or via email, or call the company, not get told to sign up!

Then I made an appointment, as I am in desperate need. I was told to send my resume via email, complete an online application. So I did both directly. When I went to the office it was in a very confusing location no signs anywhere for the office! Luckily i have good memory and sense of direction! Then I go in my appointment isn't even with the lady i had scheduled it with! But anyways I wore professional attire aka a black suit, button up, heels, with a hard copy of my resume. I sat in the office filled out more application and talked to another girl who was decently dressed and young, I continued to see many young females file in until there was about 5 of us sitting there.

When I finally went back with the girl i'll call her " A" for now I was asked random questions... She told me about herself... And informed me well with a college degree and no experience it'll be 'hard' but don't worry just let me be your voice. She asked what I was interested in and told me it could be a long hard process. I asked her how long it normally takes to put people in she says oh it " could be a long time." she then told me to send her my resume, even though i had already sent it and had a hard copy...
2nd question 2) why can't your company keep up with my resume, why do you need so many copies?

That evening i had to go to proveit.com and take a series of test including data entry, access, word, excel. I took them all and passed with missing only 1 question on each and my data entry was good. I did not hear anything back after the interview so I contacted her via email she said she just got back my references and had sent to a few c ompanies but no buyers yet. A few weeks have gone by now and I have sent another email, she also was suppose to send me my results which she never did! I have emailed her again about why no response and why no takers.

The reason why I am filing this is because i go to these job posting websites as i've continued to do by myself and i see numerous postings by appleone for entry level data entry/receptionist, etc. I do mean countless and I can't help but wonder why are they posting them when they have people like me who could fill them? I wonder if they are fake! Seeing as they never supply the name of the company wanting the receptionist, or the data entry. I can't help but feel like I am a number, and from day 1 she never expected to help me find a job, after i went i filled out a survey for the company and told them this, the actual company never really replied.

To me this company has become a ripoff where they just need people to fill their quotas and thus post countless jobs that don't even really exist! My advice is to not bother to call them, or interview, my advice is to simply keep searching by yourself or go to a smaller more sincere company that doesn't tell you that getting a job could take endless months! Because in my opinion I am a great candidate and should have been placed easily especially with my test results!
