Candidate Prescreening Diana Carpenter Incredibly rude, appears to be offering non-existent jobs to solicit for resume writing services and seminars. Spokane, Washington
This lady posts a number of job ads to the Washington WorkSource employment site, offering clerical positions to fill. It's a rough job market. Having applied for jobs matching my work history, I have applied to these. The first refusal e-mail steering me to her resume writing services was odd. The second was unfortunate, as anonymised job listings don't afford a job seeker the benefit of not applying with flighty companies. The third was fishy and at the fourth, I highly questioned if there was ever a job at all.
After the "final straw" of getting these poorly worded refusal e-mails with the audacity of asking me to spend money on her services, I responded to the e-mail to express how unprofessional and insulting I found these e-mails, I actually received a phone call from her. When I did not apologize, an escalation ensued, with her calling me "snotty," and "crazy," threatening to "warn" employers about my "bad attitude," trying to filibuster and prevent me from getting a word in, and talking louder and faster, badgering me with her presumed victim status.
I never did get any evidence there was ever a real job. I am more convinced than before that she's trolling for desperate unemployed indigents to take advantage of.
