Thanks guys. I agree leaving the old scheduler out makes sense. I just know how close she is with the owner, even to this day. And I also agree that at this point, what is there to lose?! She won't use me anyway! Unfortunately I've never met or spoken to the owner on FB or any other means. Just somehow became his "friend." My husband suggested to continue requesting shops so that I could establish a pattern and to wait and see. Now that it's been almost a year, reaching out to him directly doesn't seem so crazy... but perhaps would be seen as such?
And yes, 30 new, competent and willing shoppers for events that offer little pay and sometimes are the crappy cheap seats with 3-4 hours report time afterwards seems SO off. When she told me this as her excuse about not using me, I told her I was impressed and congratulated her (I wasn't being snarky or rude, I truly thought that was impressive!). I know that's why they hired a scheduler here, but it just doesn't seem realistic or likely... I realized this after a few more weeks went by and my applications continued to be ignored and I truly thought about the treasure trove of shoppers she somehow lucked out on... not likely!!
Doing what I can to enhance the life of my family! I LOVE what I do
