Applying through craigslist may have been my first mistake, but i seemed to find a lot of open positions for office work (which i have experience and am very skilled)
I got a call from a company called "united" and I was to go in for an interview at the office in Columbia Heights. So I went in and interviewed with a lady named Heather and filled out my application (which i must mention didn't even ask for my age, simple 15 question application which didn't tell much about me at all) After the interview she said she would put in a good word for me to the regional manager in crystal and I was to call her back in a few hours to see if I got the second interview. Sure enough when i called I was accepted.
So a few days later I am heading to my second interview in crystal, mn. Now usually with an office manager position you are looking at a one on one interview so seeing 16 other people in there was a surprise. But they reassured me that it was because they are opening 12 new offices in the area.
Now during this 2nd interview I am told there is a 90 day training program. Alright sweet i thought i would fly through it since i was already experienced enough. Well i got through a few weeks and ended up getting sick. I still went to the promotional meeting on saturday since i got double promoted and was quite excited. But come monday i was feeling fatigue to the point where i couldn't get out of bed so i called around 8:35am and left a message letting them know i was still sick and was going to the doctors. Well i got a call around 10am with Tracy looking for me. I told her i left a message before i was even supposed to be there that i was going to the doctor and would bring in a note from them. She claimed "Don't do that" I said why not? She says "Because we get 500 messages a day, we don't check them. You have to call til you talk with a human being." (Umm excuse me??? Since when can you not leave a message at your "work" fishy i'd say. Plus i have a prepaid phone so i dont like to waste minutes when no one will answer a business phone) so i went on to say okay i will do that next time. Well then she asked if i could call her after my appt and let her know what the deal is, i agreed and went to my appt.
Now at my appt i find out i have the flu, and i am pregnant (yayy!) so I am going crazy wondering now will my baby be okay etc etc. Well i got a note like i said and it was to return to work when i didn't have a fever for 24hours. So i call tracy back... 5 times after my appt to let her know. No one answered. So i proceeded to go to sleep and get rest, called tuesday no answer still after 3 times calling and same with wednesday. So i quit trying to call and figured i'll bring in my note once my fever is gone. Well that saturday it got worse so i tried to go to the doctor again but they had no appts found out i also now have a uti (bladder infection) according to my home test. So come sunday we went to the doctor but was referred out to the hospital since i was pregnant. So it was confirmed i had a uti and my fever was not receding at all.
Now here is is thursday and yes i missed a week and a half with good reason. I went into the office to bring in all my papers from my doctor's visits and my note. DOOR WAS LOCKED!!! No one answered my call as i stood outside the door and no missouri plates in the parking lot! Are you kidding me? First you guys ignore my phone calls... I waste my gas driving 40 miles there and back for nothing??? I think they have already moved offices and changed their names so beware!
