Comments:
About the woman who interviewed me (Maria): Maybe I didn't do too well
on the tests or maybe I wasn't qualified enough for her. I would have
appreciated her letting me know that. The day after I registered with
her, I tried to get an assignment from her. Couldn't get her on the
phone. I left a voicemail message for her. Did the same thing the
next day and the days following. Not once did she call back to let me
know she got the messages. After a while I realized she wouldn't
return my calls. I didn't waste my time with her since I had already
got an assignment with another agency. What got me mad was Maria
didn't have the decency to tell me she had nothing for me.
