I called this new job, this morning, and then a few minutes ago. Never heard an answer, nor do they have an answering machine. I am not hunting them down, and I thought about it, they are makig such a hassle about it. I am not chasing them down, and seeing as my seasonal job comes back into play in a month or so, plus my petsitting almost every weekend in the summer, and I just got another offer for a pet walking in the town near where my seasonal job is. I am just not bothering with them, if they call me I will tell them I tried calling, and the fact they make it so difficult to work there, I found other job offerings, as they took too long to give me a schedule. She said she would call or text, the schedule would be up Wednesday. I heard nothing, and I tried calling, that is good enough for me.

It's good that you do have plenty of other sources of revenue in place. It sounds like this woman is either terribly unorganized or, perhaps, that this may be some sort of scam.

It's a well know successful franchise across Canada, so I am thiking she is just unorganized. I tried calling, but no answer, so I am not calling again, so even if they booked me in for shifts, then I am not showing up.

Yep, I made my decision. I have them the benefit of the doubt, I called them and noone answered. I might as well relax, and wait until my seasonal job comes back into play, and I work 7 days a week.

Yeah I wouldn't waste anymore time on them either you have given it your all and they are doing nothing to try to get you to work for them. That's great your getting more offers about jobs and stuff so atleast it won't be a big loss not working for this other company.

Why they act like that? It is like they giving us hope and they are the one who is always delay in everything. It is so hard to chase. They should be the one to organize everything. Its good that you have a back up job.

Well, if you do hunt them down ... Hunting with dogs is illegal here, check whether it's also illegal in Canada.

Anyhow, since you are applying for that job and they are the boss somehow. So you have to bear with it and show some determination and effort in getting that job. Of course, there are a lot of jobs available out there for you to choose one over another, but maybe there is a reason why you had chosen this job in the first place. So keep trying for a little while longer before giving up on this job.

Not really, I wanted money, I had applied back in November, and heard nothing until now. I was hoping to get a month or two in working, then go back to my seasonal job full time for the summer months.

Ah sorry to hear that. Just keep looking for other job offers. I think just be patient but keep looking. Don't worry, no need to just stick one job call. Look for more. The more you dwell on that calling the new job and that they never answer back or call back, you'll end up getting more disappointed. Just keep looking and getting more jobs. Hopefully they will call you. If not, just move on. There are better jobs out there. Maybe it's not meant to be? Just pray and hope.
