Only I could.....

[Kitte]

lose my job on the first day.

I get to work ON TIME. All ready to go. They talk to me forever about this and that and what a great company they are. Well they sit me down to start "training" me and I have no clue how to use the programs they want me to. Being peppy me I tell them how eager I am to learn and I was informed that I shoudl have already KNOWN how to do it. On and on it goes. Basicly my recruiter stuck me in a job that I am not qualified to do. So here I am 5 hours later unemployed again.

So what did I miss?

You missed having

a recruiter with a brain. His/her fault to put you in that situation.

 

[Raina]

That sucks Kitte.

Hang in there, you'll find something better.

 

[metal_minx]

[RawHumor]

Shit, hon. I'm so sorry.

 

[metal_minx]

not to hijack the thread or anything...but did anyone else notice that koala's av is more graphic now?

Did you get hired through a temp agency? If so, I would've torn them a new one.

That sucks Kitte, I know jobs at those places are few and far in between.

More graphic, same as when it was first posted.

Seriously, Kitte, that recruiter should be shot, or at least complained about to her supervisor.

As an office manager for many years, I've hired hundred's of employees from headhunting and temporary/permanent placement offices.

They make a large commission off of correctly and permanently placing staff with their clients. The fact that you didn't fit the job requirements of their customer means that the recruiter's office is going to be missing that commission, and will definitely be in trouble if her boss finds out about, so make sure they do!

Get a different recruiter in the same company, or go to another placement office.

It's not your fault. Next recruiter you get, interview them. Find out what their policies are in placing their people. Ask them questions as to what they look for, and definitely ask questions about the company(ies) they want to place you before committing to working there.

If you have any questions, though, feel free to ask me.
Hugs to you, hon...try not to feel badly about this. Think of it as a learning experience.
