I recently interviewed twice with a company that was supposed to be a temp for hire position.
They immediately notified my recruiter that they were interested in me and wanted to extend an offer, but nothing official because they were waiting for the government to approve the funding for the positions.
We went through the motions of doing the background check and everything, the company then decided they wanted to hire me directly (not temp period) so I had to fill out an official job application and all that, which was sent through my recruiter.
No word for a week or so. My recruiter (NOT affiliated with the company) said everything was fine and they were just waiting for the background check and salary approval and all that, I guess. But to not worry.
Today I get a phone call from her saying the company had let her know that they have two employees who are currently not on projects, and they’re trying to see if they can fill the position with one of them.
wtf??? why go through all the motions and making me fill out all these paperwork, call my references, conduct a background check, promise me the job, only to fill it internally?
Needless to say, I’m pissed. I spent a month not looking for another job (currently laid off) because this company had promised me a job, and it was looking hopeful from all the things they were saying and having me fill out.
They said they would let my recruiter know on Monday what they decide, but I’m obviously not hopeful. It’s easier for them to just fill the position with a current employee than a new one, but I wish they had been upfront about this from the beginning.

On Wednesday, I received a job offer from a law firm that practices exactly the niche area of law I’m interested in so I was very excited about the offer – they wanted me to start next week. I called them back yesterday to discuss the details of the offer and to accept the offer. I was informed that they would like to move the start date back a few weeks to late-January/early-February but they didn’t have an exact date at this time. I accepted the offer under those terms and asked that they send me written confirmation of everything we discussed with the precise start date. Should I wait until I receive their letter prior to sending my letter/email essentially providing written confirmation of my acceptance of the offer?

So i got the PINK Nation app from the android market and so far i’ve gotten puppy love badges for sharing with facebook, winning 10 scramble games in a row, scratching off an offer, signing into facebook and joining pink nation. I want the rest of the badges but i have no clue how to unlock them. Does anyone else know or have the app?
