I went to a hiring “event”, I don’t remember exactly what it was called. I was there to apply to be a Case Manager but they forced me to apply for Health & Wellness Counselor—which paid less. After the group interview I immediately had an interview with the supervisor of the Health & Wellness program. At the end of the interview, she said “Great! As soon as we run the background check, it should take a couple weeks, we’ll be in touch and you can start working.”
Cut to FIVE MONTHS LATER after I called this company EVERY DAY for 3 months, left voice messages for the supervisor, left messages with the front desk, sent emails. I got NOTHING for 5 MONTHS. To be fair, I should have run screaming from this company due to this situation, there were red flags left and right, but this was back in 2011-2012 and the job market was terrible and I had to settle with the Edinburg Center.
