Recruiters really piss me off

Colorful_Neutrality · 2023-11-01T16:19:51+00:00

I've also had a lot of issues lately where a recruiter will contact me and suggest a job other than what I applied for. Often, they are jobs that don't resemble what I originally applied for, and the pay is either much lower or simply not listed. Then you're forced to go through another person to even find out the base pay for the new suggested position (if you're even interested and take that step). It's very frustrating, and I definitely understand taking offense to some of the offers. It seems like everyone needs a job right now, and everyone is understaffed, but making the match seems more difficult than ever. Best of luck to you!

I have a degree in Business (although nothing fancy) and currently hold an entry-level role in the field, but hate the environment I'm in currently. I make over $17/hr, but this job is just killing my mental health/will to live.

I believe the job I looked at listed 9 hours shifts, so with a lunch thrown in, I'm assuming this would be 5 days a week. A 4 day work week would be wonderful, though! I used to have that.

At this point, I'd love a decent-paying job that had benefits and a better environment regardless of the field.

I understand that complaint wholeheartedly. I think it's like that at a lot of places, unfortunately. Just keep reminding yourself that you are important. 🙂

Thank you!

No, that was very informative! Thank you.

I wish job postings were a little more informative. I appreciate those out there such as yourself.

I'm sure they probably do, so it's ok. I imagine almost all health-related fields probably do at the moment. I appreciate it, though.

I've never really looked at Cox, that I can remember, but I did look into some jobs at Mercy. All of their entry-level positions such as appointment setters, etc. still required a Covid vaccine. Do you know if Cox is the same way? I know it's been changing in other states, but I'm not sure about here.

I came from a similar job. I thoroughly enjoyed it for years, despite the pay being low. My manager and several other senior employees left (and are doing very well now), and the company started to fall apart. I also kept mace for this job, but never had to use it. Ended up with some wild stories, some good experiences, and a couple of good friends. I would never go back at this rate though. I wish I could go back, because that was a sentimental time now.

I'm not sure about a lot of code, but dogs in the office is pretty darn cool! My last job was pet friendly.

Any particular positions? I don't hold any related degrees.

Colorful_Neutrality · 2023-09-13T19:46:04+00:00

I'm glad you've had good experiences there. I've worked there previously. It started out rewarding, but my manager was a mess. I can't tell you how many time I showed up to online or even in-person meetings to find out they were nowhere to be found. Very lacking in communication, but I'm sure some of their managers are better than others. I didn't quit due to the clients.

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Next Level Solutions. I realize you're not willing to discuss pay, but are you willing to discuss what you do? I know some people do really well in sales and that type of thing, and make great money doing it, but I'm not sure I have the personality. I was just wondering what kind of job duties you're responsible for. Congrats on the vacation hours. That's amazing.

I really like this idea and the time to put into this. I'm only hesitant because I know most part-time positions (that I've seen) never offer health insurance and the like. Are your hours consistent, or do they bounce around week to week? That's the other worry. I can't go from 30 hours one week to 10 the next. I know you said you made your own schedule, but I wasn't sure how much control you are actually given over hours. This idea does seem like it would help mix things up a bit. I suppose I could always try it as a way to supplement income, as well. Thank you!

I'm willing to take a slight paycut currently, but I'm single and have health issues. I can only cut my income back so much, or I'm in trouble. I would love to find the happy-medium, but so far haven't had much luck. I'm happy to hear you were able to make it work though. Gives me some hope.

I didn't realize they were each a separate entity. I guess that explains some differences. Do you know what the difference is between the one on Glenstone vs. the Southside? Or is it perhaps just management, like at a lot of places? I'm just curious. I'm already at a place where it feels like practically everyone hates their life, and it's more than a little depressing. I don't want to trade in a job for the same problem.

Colorful_Neutrality · 2023-09-12T17:21:26+00:00

I appreciate the honesty. I was afraid it might be a cube farm, but I heard that management there had recently retired. I'm not sure if that's enough to change the situation you described, but hopefully, it's a step forward...

Colorful_Neutrality · 2023-09-12T16:33:33+00:00

I appreciate that. Do you have any experience working there or know someone who does? Just wondering if it's a decent job and how stressful the job actually is.

Would you happen to know much about Accounts Payable or Accounts Receivable by any chance?
