gridloreShort analysis of what happened today.
Snipping the bus rides, I get there and find out that despite having applied on-line, they want me to fill out an application. This poses a small problem, since I left my "cheat sheet" at home.. the one that has all my previous job, residence, and reference information on it. I fill it out as best I can, and go in for the interview.
Anybody want to help be burn Sentinel Security Systems to the ground? They never sent in my guard card application last year. I spent the money to get that thing, and they dropped yet another ball. So if I get a job here, I'll need to come up with $107 for a new card.
Turns out that they don't have any dispatcher jobs available, but were interested in seeing me about guard positions. This annoyed me a bit. I didn't check the guard boxes on the application for a damned good reason. So I explained the medical situation. I cannot spend eight hours a day outside! I will get sick, and that will lead to me having another bloody seizure. With this in mind, the options narrowed a great deal. Many of their sites require driving on city streets, which I can't do (having seized in the last three months.)
So, she's holding my application for a dispatch job or a site that meets my needs. I get the feeling that they really want to hire me, but we just need to make my four-dimensional peg fit in their three-dimensional hole.

Date: 18 Jun 2003 15:42 (UTC)File suit in Small Claims court. You can at least recover the money and maybe a biy more for the inconvenience.
And I'll cheerfully pay your filing fee if you can't spare the cash.
Hell, talk to a friendly lawyer. You may be able to nail them for quite a bit more. Not *likely*, but possible.
I'm all for "bad" employers getting nailed to the wall when possible.
