I applied for a part-time posting, because I was looking for part-time retail sales; available Saturday, Sunday and one other day. I am a highly qualified retail executive with over 40 years experience, now looking for part-time work during semi-retirment - like many other professionals in the Palm Springs Coachella Valley. I was thrilled to see the part-time posting, and was invited to the online video interview. Well, that is weird. I thought interviewing was a two-way conversation? Next I get a call, with a request to call back - option 4. Nobody answered for over an hour? I connected with the call center for help, did not want to appear to be unprofessional, by not returning a call. When I finally got connected to be asked to interview, I of course had a couple of questions myself. First question was, have you seen my interview. He said "no". Weird again comes to mind. I told him a bit more about myself, and what I was looking for as far as part-time - which he should already know - right? Well, he didn't know what to do, and said he would need to speak with the manager. He did say "we really need help." Well, one week later, no call back. But instead, I get this lovely automated message: We wanted to inform you that after careful consideration, we have decided to pursue another candidate for the Retail Guest Experience Specialist position.
