Agency Meet and Greet



I went for an agency interview today.

What is it about agency interviews that just redefines the term "colossal waste of time." This one should have had it emblazoned on her logo. They make you drive right across town, pay an enormous amount of money to park your car, risk losing your present job, because you have to account for the time away from work, and all that, and they leave with you, "I can't make you any promises." And then, of course, you never hear from them.

Today's was even worse, because I ended up arguing with her. She wanted to know why my price range was so high when my experience time was so low. It says experience time, as in years of experience, but my education is rather immense. If I had student loans to pay off trust me, the asking price now would not meet them. They don't understand me or how to market me. They don't have any idea what my education is about or what I went through to get it. They just think you're here because you're desperate so I am going to make you do the song and dance. Colossal waste of time. I kept thinking, I am assuming you had to have had some kind of human resources training to end up in this position or did you just wake up and decide I am going to recruit paralegals for a living. I had promised myself never to do this, never ever do this.

And this day, I put down that promise in writing so it shall be legally binding, anyone can take this out on me, wherever you meet me, let it be known this day that I shall not attend any agency interviews again, ever, ever. Let this stand as true, and ordered. This 10th day of January 2005.

Signed Mystiqua

Penalty shall be set by any one who catches me in violation of these set rules.

I need to stop, Individual Employment Law awaits.
