The day before I'm in a particular area in my state, I apply for two jobs on this MSC's job board that are listed on a monthly basis. I even send an email to the scheduler (of whom I receive an out of office reply), as well as secondary scheduler to assign me the jobs.
24 hours go by, and I'm 30 minutes away from job #1 at 10:30 am. I've had zero response from this scheduler. I send a second email to the secondary scheduler regarding the jobs, as well as the MSC owner. I allow a full day to go by until I'm in the process of returning home, and check my email, spam mail, and other filters. Zero response from this MSC.
At this point, I delete both applications for the two jobs. I figured that zero response over three days is enough. However, in opening my email this morning at 8:15 AM, I receive a blanket email sent to shoppers from this MSC for jobs that they desperately needed completed, to include the two that I applied for.
I've completed both locations a little more than 18 months ago, and have been asked to return multiple times. So I know that this isn't a rotation issue with me. Yet to completely ignore me when I'm in position to complete both jobs, and then email others to say that you desperately need the work done due to your monthly contract requirement is just unacceptable.
Not all schedulers are like this. However, I seriously doubt that I'll utilize these schedulers in the near future, particularly when they really need help the most.
