I would try contacting her one more time and if she doesn't respond then just let it go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316909 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 15:26:02 +0000 jh524 2316909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Eko: ha!! Thanks!! 😊 hope your enjoying your day off </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316852 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 14:03:37 +0000 Eko 2316852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: if I didn't have today off from work I might've told you something different :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316754 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 13:03:01 +0000 jh524 2316754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Eko: shoot! I'm thankful to have logical HB friends that can talk me away from cussing her out .... Lol. Hormones are serious stuff, you don't want to anger the pregnant lady ;) But yes you are very right and I'll stay professional and chalk it up to a bad experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316743 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 12:58:12 +0000 Eko 2316743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: I think I would leave it at call tomorrow and that be that. Sorry this didn't turn out to be a good opportunity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316718 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 12:39:22 +0000 jh524 2316718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: she's the owner of her company with no employees.<br /> @Mrs. Lemon-Lime, @Eko: I think I'll call her tomorrow and see what happens otherwise I will email her a few days after that and let her know whats on my mind, in a professionals manner. Bad idea? ;)<br /> @Mrs. Goose, @Truth Bombs, @Boogs, @mrsrain: I agree with you about this possibly being a red flag. I don't have time to waste with someone who can't communicate in a timely manner or at all and is obviously unprofessional. I mean how hard is a phone call or email even just saying it's not going to work out at this time?!<br /> I am slightly disappointed as I was excited about the free advertising and additional money. I can't help but think did she hear something about me she didn't like but that's silly to worry about. We live in a small town and I know a lot of people and they know me. With that said, I'm sure others have dealt with her and maybe its a red flag that I don't need to waste my time. </p> <p>I am pregnant and emotional right now and totally want to give her my two cents though... LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316635 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 11:35:05 +0000 mrsrain 2316635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bluebonnet: this. I would move on and be grateful you found out now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316587 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 11:05:37 +0000 Bluebonnet 2316587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: I think I'd move on. There are a lot of red flags to me (being hired on the spot, no offer letter, friending you on facebook, not returning your calls). Even if you still have the job, would you want to work for someone that unprofessional and flighty? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316562 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 10:46:50 +0000 Boogs 2316562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: The friending on FB sounds odd and unprofessional. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316560 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 10:44:45 +0000 Truth Bombs 2316560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"part time work from home" jobs are often made out to sound much better than they are anyway. I would probably just cut your losses and stop trying to contact her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316552 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 10:38:18 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2316552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like a warning flag to me and a job to avoid. Also, since you know they are around on social media they don't really have an excuse I feel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316551 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 10:37:00 +0000 Eko 2316551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It also sounds like something could've happened that perhaps she is actually out of the office for personal reasons. It could be too that she's being unprofessional either way, I would likely try one more follow-up and contact HR to even see if she's there. If she is the you definitely know it's her being unprofessional and maybe consider yourself lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316546 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 10:29:47 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2316546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would follow up with her one more time and include questions that assume you are still hired, but would need answers to in order to complete your work. One email and one voicemail. After that chalk it up to a bad experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316525 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 10:02:06 +0000 pinkcupcake 2316525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe you could try contacting the human resources dept of the company and inquire about your new employment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316381 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 08:05:12 +0000 jh524 2316381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: The same day she "hired" me she also friended me on fb. So her photos and activity tell me she's home and very busy on social media. Lol<br /> @kitty: I agree!<br /> @BandDmommy: that's what I'm thinking at this point. What a strange women and very unprofessional. All I wanted to do was advertise with her and apparently may not even get that. Bummed!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316309 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 04:11:07 +0000 BandDmommy 2316309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: either 1. She is out of the office (traveling/sick/whatever) or 2 she is backtracking and actually can't hire you and instead of being professional is ignoring you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316271 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 23:37:15 +0000 Boogs 2316271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: Maybe she's out of the office on vacation/illness (herself or kids)/family emergency?</p> <p>Maybe call and or email one more time just to say you hope everything is well and to give you a call back when she's back in the office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316268 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 23:33:58 +0000 kitty 2316268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I think if you left her a voicemail you have made an effort and she should be able to see that. Some people are very disorganised and perhaps junebugsmama is right that you were lucky to avoid getting involved with an unprofessional person! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316262 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 23:30:01 +0000 jh524 2316262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kitty: i emailed same day to let her know I received her emails. Than two days later, hadn't heard from her and called and left a voicemail. No response either way. So strange!<br /> @junebugsmama: I agree! If she's this unprofessional to not communicate, even if she changed her mind that's fine, but at least call or email. Especially after hiring on the spot like that. It's just strange! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316253 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 23:11:04 +0000 kitty 2316253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm reading it right, you haven't heard from her in a week but you also haven't called/emailed her in that time? Or have you tried contacting her since then and she's ignored you?</p> <p>If you haven't contacted her since, I would definitely try, because there could have been a genuinely good reason why she didn't contact you as she said she would. Also, if you contact her it shows you are enthusiastic and willing to take the initiative. I always worry that potential employers are 'testing' me to see if I really want the job! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316242 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 22:38:51 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2316242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: how bizarre! I think I would call or something... But if it happened to someone close to me, at this point of a week with no contact I might just tell the person to thank their lucky stars they avoided getting involved with someone so very unprofessional! I am sorry about that whole situation, I hope you don't take it personally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-you-were-offered-a-job-and#post-2316224 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 21:48:54 +0000 jh524 2316224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>. If you were offered a job and then they never contacted you to follow up... No response to email or phone call.... Nothing. </p> <p>I met with a gal to advertise in her magazine, she surprisingly offered me a PT work from home sales job in our industry plus advertising perks and I accepted. She hugged me and was very excited. She emailed two times within two hours and then it stopped. She was suppose to send everything and contact me next day. It's been a week with no response back. What the heck ?! </p> <p>Part of me wants to call her and tell her off but that's not professional right;) how about some communication lady, it goes a long ways. Well I'm disappointed now, feeling a bit sorry for myself and needed to rant. What should I do? </p>
