Here is what we are going to say |

No attachment, no nothing.
Application had to be submitted via their website, and before I could even close out the window after it accepted the application, I got this back in my email. (My addy removed for privacy reasons)
Is this how the Worlds Largest Travel Insuance Company handles applicants?
I know the Owner/Founder of this company, and have been to his home with my children. I think I'll print this off and mail it to him directly.

Pegg, I worked there for 2 1/2 years. Unless you don't mind working with a bunch of snot nosed stuck up bitches, then by all means! I worked in Customer Service, fielded over 100 calls a day among helping out the other departments, like processing. I was looked over twice for a raise, was told I sound like a "hick" on the phone, and everyone was forced to attend a Stephen Covey workshop. 
So, what'd you go to John's house for? LOL
(btw, when I applied, it was in person)

My application was thew Jobnet, and it was posted to apply via their website.
They are looking for a Training and Quality Assurance Assitant Manager, and I have experience in that area with call centers.
Reason I was at John's place, is that my kids rode on his float about 6 years back for the Xmas Parade, while I was with the van for the radio station I worked for. I was dating his maintanance manager at the time is how I met John. He had a huge pizza party after the parade at his place.
(following instructions when applying for work is a bad thing these days I guess)

Maintenance Mngr. Was that in the Computer Dept.? 
Hey, go outside the lines hon! NEVER follow instructions. 
(btw, I am an excellent worker, whether it be on the phone, or on the assembly line. That's the 1st job I had where I really truely didn't "fit in" with everyone personality wise. Is that a bad thing?)

Ahhhhhhhhh, I see.
Well, all I can suggest is to maybe give them a call to make sure your app. was received and the response you got?
Hey, have you checked out Sentry or Land's End at all?

Ex Hubby's GF works at Sentry (she and I do NOT get along at all) so that is out. Lands end has been laying off people for the last 2 years. No openings, and since they are now a part of JCPenny Co. they pay for crap for new hires when they have spots and it's all PT so no ins. or other bennies.
(Shhh I got this from the inside so Hush Hush)

Well shit, that sucks.  Only other places I can think of are Herrschners, Sunrise Medical, Donaldsons (ya never know), St. Michaels (actually, they're hiring all the time. I wanted to apply for a Greeter, but I'd screw up everyone else's lives here at home) and then of course there's Flex Staff and ABR. I've had luck with ABR in the past, dunno if you've used them yourself.
Good luck to ya Pegg and let me know if you need anything!
