Frustrated with the job hunt

January 24th, 2009 at 12:11 am

Like way to many other people, I am currently looking for a job. Oh boy, and I am just about OVER IT. LOL.

The SuperBowl is coming to town in like a week (I think?!) so I applied at a reputable hotel (think National chain, NICE hotel) about a temporary banquet server. They're looking for people to work the Super Bowl and by golly, I'm looking to work.

Here's the email I got back from them:
"We would like to interview you to work Superbowl. Please come to Human Resources this Tues between 10 and Noon if you are interested"

Seriously, that's the email. They didn't leave a contact name/number ... nothing. Just two lines that apparently I'm supposed to figure out. Talk about frustrating!

You know, if I was Mr. CEO of this hotel chain, I would be incredibly upset. I worked for awhile doing loan consolidations, and was in daily email contact with our lenders and borrowers. I admit, I don't have the greatest grammar, and I need to work on my spelling, but ummm ... that's why they invented spell check. I mean, seriously. And what about a proper greeting, and a closing? And how hard is it to go into outlook and I don't know, put it in your signature so that your contact info is in every email? I mean, seriously, you can assume that every person you email on a daily basis about your JOB is probably going to need to get in touch with you SOMEHOW and I don't know they might want your name.

SIGH.

Sometimes I realize I am enjoying this stay at home all the time with Juliette thing way too much, but I only have about 3.5 conservative months left in my EF. I want a job so I can have the excuse to get my internet back ... lol. Of all the things I've cut back on, I can honestly say I miss that the most. I want to get back into my rapid debt repayment plan. I WANT to go back to school in the Fall, and I really want to knock out my old student loans first. They're only at $3500, but when I'm not bringing home any income, there just isn't any money to send to them to get rid of them quicker. And I do NOT want to have to move back in with my parents, I mean, seriously!

So listen, if you work in HR and you're sending out emails to potential new employees, can you please just put your contact info so other unemployed hooligans aren't stressing out like this. Thanks!

    Show up anyway to human resources. Maybe they are so stressed that they just shot the e-mail back to you. Good luck!

    I have no idea where the human resources is. I've looked thoughout the website, not listed.

    I guess I could call and play dumb. I feel pretty dumb
