CHC is apparently crazy. Anybody have any experience with this company. I'm going to copy and paste the conversation that I had with them.
ME:
Hi,
I was interested in doing some shops with your company. I've signed up on the prophet system but I hear you are mostly an invite only company. I have seven years of experience and I've done almost every kind of shop out there. I've done both video and recorded sound shops as well. I've been doing a lot of casino shops lately and I just wanted to see if there was a scheduler I could contact or if we could set up an interview sometime. I am willing to travel. Thank you and have a wonderful day.
HER:
How did you hear of our company and what area do you live in?
ME:
I heard about you on a forum and also from doing some research. I live in ******* but I travel a lot.
HER:
Please send me a sample of your casino shops that you’ve done and what properties you’ve evaluated.
ME:
How can I send you a sample of the shops I've done? Isn't that proprietary information that belongs to the other shop companies? I've shopped River Spirit casino and Creek Nation. I'm doing a big route tomorrow of River Spirit, several Creek Nations and One Fire. I would like to have done more casinos but I've had a hard time finding companies that do some of the ones in my state. I do travel a lot though.
HER:
You sound very defensive when I ask a normal question regarding a sample of your work. No one asked you to send one with a name of the property attached to it, you could have taken that part off. It would have been just a writing sample to review. We look for high caliber shoppers who have experience doing shops that last at least 3 days/2 nights and then meet with executive teams of 20 and more to review the findings utilizing a power point presentation. Our clients are all over the US and Canada and we value our customer relationships with them. Our shoppers are hospitality trained and experienced. It does not sound like a match based on your last e mail and I would also have had to review your resume and completed an in person interview.
Thank you for your interest in our company and good luck in your endeavors.
I sent her an e-mail back trying to tell her she misunderstood my intent but she has never responded. I do not see how that can be construed as defensive and agressive. I was literally just asking her because it sounds like they are trying to get me to send in a shop with the questions on it and everything. This was one of the managing partenrs who acted this way. I am so confused. I almost cried when she sent me the e-mail because I don't like it when people think I did something with unkind intents but also because I've been trying to get with them for weeks. What do you guys think.
