What should I do about this job?

[xJayleenx]

Last week 1/31 I went to orientation and got a tour of the job and they told me that they would call me back and tell me when I could start but they haven’t called me back I’ve been calling the agency 3 times now and so far all they told me was that I was inactive and that they recently activated my account and they told me to call back if I don’t receive a call by Monday afternoon so I’m calling the agency back and the branch manager wasn’t there so I was on hold and wasted my time. It sucks I don’t know why I have such a hard time getting a job I’m a college student and when I get a job I’m willing to even work like a slave and I’ll be happy as long as I have a job. I feel like I’m being taken as a joke if I was sent to orientation that means that I got the job I don’t know why they’re being like this I just want to work. Should I just pursue another job?

I signed up for a warehouse job and have a phone interview on Wednesday if it requires heavy lifting im scared lol but warehouse work should be very similar to what I did last time

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yeah, if they keep slacking on calling you back by all rights, you deserve an explanation why they're not calling you back and I know this can be upsetting, I kept calling this Lawyers office and leaving messages on their answering machine, on money they owed me which was $42.00 I made a statement telling them I was starving, well the asshole secretary sent the message to the police and they came to my door well I told them I wasn't starving but I kept calling that office to get my money back., So yes these people can be slackers and finally got my money back but you deserve an answer whether they are going to hire you or not my opinion is put an application in
someplace that the lifting won't be real heavy

Not sure what area you are in, but just about every business in town is looking for help, but we are not a college town, so that might make a difference.
Keep looking, something will turn up.
My dad always told me that it is ear to get a job if you already have a job.
So even if you find something that is not high on your list, take it, that will help take some of the pressure off, and thn you can find something that you like better.

[xJayleenx]

Yeah I even signed up for warehouse work lol

[Fireguy17]

It's a means to an end.
The saving grace is that when you go to work you know that you won't be retiring from there.

[Still-alive]

which job is it?

i would say maybe call back tomorrow

[xJayleenx]

Another assembly job

[Still-alive]

just hang tight. im sure she will tell you your schedule

[xJayleenx]

Did you see my update?

[Still-alive]

yes i saw. sounds unorganized a bit tbh

[xJayleenx]

What the hell is going on?

[Still-alive]

could be paperwork issues.. i don't know.

[exitseven]

You really do not know what is going on behind the scenes. The guy that has to sign off on this might be on vacation or the person that needs to do the paperwork has just been fired. There could be many reasons.

contact the company that gave you the orientation, they should have also givin you a "start date"

[xJayleenx]

I already did twice

[xJayleenx]

She said that the office would call me back but I haven’t gotten a call it’s been a week now since orientation

[888theGreat]

sounds like we will call you thing , which means you didn't get it

[xJayleenx]

But then why did they give me a tour if I didn’t get it? And this is an entry level assembly job I’ve worked in assembly before

[888theGreat]

They do all kinds of stuff today. Maybe to see how the people react before deciding

[xJayleenx]

This literally makes no sense. I’m so stressed I’ve signed up for probably about 50 jobs already

[xJayleenx]

Assembly is literally slave work why are they giving me such a hard time and I already have experience with assembly. I’ve signed up for so many jobs including McDonald’s

[DWornock]

Of course you should pursue other job opportunities until you are actually hired and working. Even then you should continue looking if you think you might find a better job.

[noohair]

I would guess that they hired more people that they needed and orientation was more additional screening as applicants than orientation. Keep looking and don't wait.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Call back one more time and if they don't respond then move on

[Bklynbadboy12]

Its their loss you know your a good worker they just lost out on

[jahaims]

That is common with places with a lot of turnover

[jahaims]

You're over thinking it. They are more than likely just a shit company to work for. Don't expect to be treated well there

[jahaims]

I used to work 16 hour shifts in a warehouse. Not a good time

[xJayleenx]

I want to do 8 hours. I used to work at assembly and we would assist the warehouse sometimes
