Hi folks, I’m often a lurker here and never though I’d have to post but today I had a phone interview with a company (rhymes with Hurlington Moat Factory)
I applied online a few days ago and was contacted via email for a phone interview. I was very excited as I’ve applied over 20 places but haven’t been contacted back at all yet. (Full time college student who has to be on campus 5 days a week – with very horrible availability)
Well on the interview this nice lady tells me “well we are only hiring temporary workers which gives you no guarantee of any hours – we reserve the right to give you 0 hours if you aren’t needed, also we only pay minimum wage and that’s non negotiable”
I was quite taken back. I’ve never had a job tell me that they reserve the right to give me 0 hours before. I thanked the interviewer for being forthcoming, but told her that was absolutely asinine, and I was not interested In a job with no hours. (WHO WOULD BE?!)
But yet I hear on the news “10 million jobs for 5 million people looking” , “nobody wants to work” , etc. Well these are the types of jobs available – and I don’t see why anyone would take this shit.
