I did not have a good experience with this agency at all. I tried to stop by in person but they were closed and had an unwelcoming sign saying that you have to make an appointment to see them. I called and asked them for an appointment, and they said I had to apply online first and upload all my information, etc., and only then would they POSSIBLY call me in for an appointment, if and only if I met all of their very high-end qualifications for a simple clerical gig.
Fine - I did that, no problem. With 10 years of office experience and a bachelor's degree, I know I am more than capable to do that type of work. But when I received no response, and called to follow up, the lady on the other end sounded fake, over-caffeinated, and was borderline rude. She said they probably hadn't called me because I didn't have the experience they wanted. I explained to her that at my last position I had done plenty of clerical work, and that those tasks were all listed clearly on my resume. But it was apparent that they had not read my resume carefully, and had only looked at my job title. Just because my positions didn't specifically have the words "Admin" or "Clerical" in the title, I think they wrote me off, which is absurd. Not all admin-related jobs are titled that way, that is why you list your responsibilities.
She was very snobby and said "We will call YOU if we are interested, but we are only looking for people with administrative experience." When I stated calmly and diplomatically that I do in fact have that experience, she said really gruffly "You should try one of the other agencies like Apple One."
This mom and pop place feels it has the right to snub people for no reason other than that they are too lazy to really review applicants. I was overqualified for the position I applied for, and yet I am told essentially to "slum it" at Apple One because they are too good for me. Whatever...podunk Inland Empire unprofessional nonsense. read more
