I was approached by a man at my work a few months back who told me that he works for Select and that if I'm not loving my job right now, I should go into select and they have these wonderful options for me and he really talked it up.
I was at a point where I was looking for a m-f full time job and I was stoked at this possible opportunity.
I came in early with an appointment a few weeks later and took all the tests that are required. They were beyond easy, I started to feel somewhat out of place because I'm somewhat well educated and I like to think of myself as pretty intelligent and the tests were like seriously??? Who wouldn't know that answer. But I thought it would just lead me to some awesome job opportunities. My "recruiters" name was Victor. I didn't like him. He cut me off mid sentence throughout the whole meeting and didn't seem to give two craps about anything I had to say.
Select staffing requires that you bring in your resume so they can "edit" it in ways that make you seem more valuable.
Pretty quickly I was informed that there was a job interview he found for me at an office, he sent me a copy of my resume that he had rendered. Okay first of all, he added "skills" I DONT HAVE. Such as knowledge in Microsoft programs, filing, receptionist experience. I clearly had told him that I have ONLY worked in restaurants and retail. But I was thinking that maybe this is normal and they just want me to go along with this during an interview to get me the job but I fail miserably at pretending I have skills I just don't have.
On my resume, I worked at Menchie's as a teen. When victor "edited" my resume he wrote "Munchies". Seriously? I expect that my information needs to be completely correct and that was just embarrassing and he had already sent my resume to this job.
I could go on about some of the other jobs he had referred me to, which were all completely NOT what I told him I was looking for.
Clearly, the staff here must just get commission off sending resumes regardless of whether or not anyone even gets the job because it was made very clear that Victor did not actually care about listening to my needs and was extremely incompetent.
Do not use select staffing, seriously Craigslist is more valuable than this place. read more
