i got recommended for a job through a classmate last wednesday. i sent my contact info and got instructed to make an account on a recruitment site. i posted my CV and personal letter. the next day, at 08.01, i got a mail from the recruiter, asking me to add more things to my cv, OR write a longer personal letter.
why would i post a CV without all my experience in the first place?
so i write a longer personal letter.
i am about to answer to her mail at 08.40, but before i'm able to send an answer to her e-mail, saying that i did what she asked for, she calls me. so, she gave me 39 minutes to do what she asked before calling.
i answered and we chatted a bit. she asked med questions and told me about the job. apparently it's not a summer job, as i thought, but a full time summer job + continuation afterwards with 2 workdays per week Ă 4 hours. i also have to work during the "mellandagar" which is the days between christmas and new years (except for the 25th i think).
i say that it's ok because that' what you're supposed to right. but i don't think i will stay for that long if i get the job.
before hanging up, she asks me to click on a link she will send me and answer to 7 questions in video format. i feel stressed and like i'm being a bit pushed around. i don't like the process at this point and can't sleep very well the following days because of it.
after having made the videos, and e-mailing her that i did so, she says thank you. at 16.55 my classmate says "she will contact you soon so be prepared".
she didn't contact me until today, pretty much saying "the working place will look into your application at the end of the week and contact you at the beginning of next week".
mind you that she told me initially that it was a hurry to get the videos and everything done because they wanted me to start asap and that, if all went well, i would start to get instructed at the workplace at the beginning of THIS week.
so i took the silence last week as me not getting the job (that's usually how it goes when they don't want you in my experience).
and now i don't know what to do.
- i'm not keen on working all summer.
- i've already scheduled a hike at the end of the summer that i will have to ask for vacation for, so i won't get any more than that. (and one other week that is when the facility is closed, 3 weeks before my hike).
- it's customer service through phone calls which doesn't feel like the best fit for me
- i feel like they haven't treated me greatly through the process and i feel kind of used
- it would be nice to get to relax after 9 months of school
+ i know that my CV is lacking and that's why they are not giving me an answer straight away, so i would benefit from a job.
+the work is sliiiightly related to my field
+my friends are working during the summer so there will be a lot of alone time anyway.
+ money would be nice
about the poll: i haven't even been offered the job yet but lol i could refuse it now or wait until they say we want you/we don't want you
