ok ill try to keep this a short story as best as possable. side note this is relevent to here: tier 1 job (http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=156590)
anyway here is the issue. i quit my job at the boys and girls club giving my resignation letter on the 5.14.08 leaving 5.28.08. at that time i had no job lined up except for good faith that i would get the tier one job. the t1 job pays 60k all together, and its something that i wanna do. i had an interview with them on the 16 and it went great. they told me that i would only need one more interview on and then they would make thier decission. only thing was the second interview owuldnt be until 2 weeks later b/c the regional manager that i would have to interview is in a traveling meeting and wouldnt be back until then.
panicing that i would not get this job and be jobless i kept looking. and scored 3 other intervew on my last week of workiing.1 and 2 had to schedule me the same day 5.27.08 . job #1 i hated anyway b/c i was being interviewed for 1.5 hrs for 3 diffrent people and it was pointless (offering 38k) causeing me to be late for #2.
the #2 one went great but they asked me why was i late? i told them the trus about i was in #1 and i didnt know that it would have taken so long. they were offering me 33k b/c thats what i put as my salary requirements (being desparete). so i told the employer that i would need more now being that i have been getting better offers. he told me to make an offer and i said 38k and he was fine with that. he then told me that i dont have to decide right away b.c he knows that i went on interviews. he told me that if i call him the following morning to decide he will not interview anyone else.
at that time i was looking at my options. the t1 job should be callig me anyday now to interview for that week. if i score that second interview id be good. so ill tell #2 yes and if i know by monday t1 will take me ill call back and decline it. problem was, t1 told me that there is an interview on 5.29.08 but it would not be the last one. there will be one more on the following week. so im like shit!!!! ill say yes to #2 but i would have to call off or be late my first week at work.
on 5.29.08 the interview went well. i met the superviser that i would be giving me m routes in brooklyn. very laid back guy and very down to earth. now the person who is coaching me through the interviews is my recruiter. apparently he scouted me from monster and i guess if he gets me in he will get paid. anyway i explained to him that i left one job and now i will have to except the other one being that its a sure thing vs my t1 isnt. in addiction i would need enough notice on the final interview to let the other job know in advance. he said he will do that.
now job #3 was a go as well. i told them can start on the 6.16.08. this was in case non of this worked out for me and i had a back up plan. only thing is this job is $15per hr BUt they give you a car and a cell phone along with a gas card for work.
on 5.30.08 friday the recruiter calls me and tells me that the interview is on monday 6.2.08 11am................. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? what happend to my ample notice? #2 starts monday!!! HOW TEH FUCK DO U CALL OFF WORK OR COME IN LATE YOUR FIRST DAY?!?!
most people tell me to take it as a sign and dont go for t1. not a sure thing and you got something thats not far form your house and you can relax. but naw we only get the best when we reach high.
i need a solid excuse HELP!!!!!!!!
what i got so far is:
call them tonite and tell them that my son is in the hospital and i wont be in until the afternoon. {wont they ask or expect to see proof?}
go there at 8 work till 10 then get a random phone call and act like its a diar emergency and run outta there and come back after the interview frantic.
A. house on fire B. get someone to take my car with a key then low jack will call me to tell me that my car is moved. then i can later on say that my car got towed after i get back. {would they ask fro proof?}
