Yeah. You read that right. After almost two damn months of harassing them, they're going to interview me for a 'logistics specialist'.
Before I go any further, an update: The county Information Systems position I applied for was filled just this week. I'm sure you can guess who didn't get hired. I thought the interview went well but this is an 'employer's market'. Moving on....
As I said, I have an interview with Office Depot. Retail is the last place I wish to work because of the fact that disabled employees are treated worse than regular employees, and I speak from experience.
I'm sure the only reason I even got the interview is because both myself and my employment specialist kept harassing them. Not to mention I had to apply for the position TWICE because they took it down and then re-posted it.
But what was worse was the excuses. For weeks the manager was in the Virgin Islands for some sort of company outing. At least that's what the assistant manager said. So after a while I just said to hell with it. If they didn't want to hire me they just could have been honest about it. Sure, I've got an interview now but I get the feeling this one won't end well either.
My employment specialist is also looking into helping me get into Schedule A employment with the Federal Government. I'd probably fare better there than I ever would in the private sector and my mother in law is battling Social Security on my behalf again. I guess I'll just wait and see.
See you around,
Homer
