Joseph Stembridge's blog ::'Time of Application' law effective today in New Jersey










I've               been               looking               for               a               job               for               over               a               year               now.

But               I'm               a               writer               and               business-to-business               marketing               expert               by               profession,               and               I've               also               got               significant               experience               as               an               administrative               assistant               in               law               firms.

Unfortunately,               these               are               three               of               the               sectors               that               have               been               hit               hardest               by               the               economy               in               my               area.
               Until               recently,               the               town               I               live               in               had               the               highest               concentration               of               law               firms               in               New               Jersey...

now               it               has               the               highest               concentration               of               unemployed               lawyers.

Our               local               website               says               that               the               unemployment               rate               here               is               almost               a               full               percentage               point               higher               than               the               national               average,               and               jobs               have               decreased               by               2.7               percent.
               I've               registered               with               every               major               job               site               online,               checked               out               the               classifieds               every               day,               and               used               social               networking               to               advertise               myself.

The               number               of               real               jobs               available               on               sites               like               Careerbuilder               and               Monster.com               has               decreased               significantly               over               the               past               couple               of               months.

Each               day,               I               see               dozens               of               ads               for               multilevel               marketing               companies               like               Avon,               100               percent               commission-based               "sales               opportunities"               for               enterprises               with               turnover               so               large               it               will               make               your               head               spin,               and               promotions               for               the               U.S.

military.

With               this               in               mind,               I               decided               to               try               the               old               fashioned               route               and               sign               up               with               a               temporary               agency.

My               experience               with               them               illustrates               how               frustrating               the               process               can               be.
               I               took               tests               at               the               agency               to               show               my               administrative               abilities               and               scored               in               the               95th               percentile               for               all               of               them               (as               a               comparison,               a               passing               grade               is               the               60th               percentile).

They               told               me               they               had               no               jobs               right               now               but               to               call               "every               other               week"               to               check               in.

I               ignored               that               and               called               them               the               next               day               to               see               if               anything               had               come               up.

As               it               turned               out,               there               was               a               temp               to               permanent               position               that               was               perfectly               suited               to               my               background.
               I               went               for               an               interview               on               a               Tuesday               and               it               went               well,               so               I               waited               to               hear               back               from               them.

Finally               on               Thursday               morning               I               got               a               call               from               the               agency               saying               "they               want               you               to               come               in               at               11               a.m.

today               and               start               on               Monday."               I'd               already               scheduled               a               dentist's               appointment               for               my               daughter               that               morning               so               I               had               to               say               no,               I               couldn't               make               it               then               but               I'd               come               in               Friday.

Perhaps               that               was               my               fatal               mistake,               not               jumping               through               hoops.
               I               thought               Friday               was               going               to               be               a               training               session               because               the               agency               had               told               me               I               had               the               job.

Instead,               I               went               through               another               round               of               questioning               that               lasted               over               an               hour.

At               the               end               the               employer               said               I'd               aced               the               interview,               that               she'd               be               making               up               her               mind               within               an               hour,               and               that               she               needed               someone               to               be               there               at               8:30               a.m.

on               Monday               to               start.

She               left               me               with               a               big               smile               and               a               suggestion               to               enjoy               the               beautiful               afternoon.
               So               I               went               home               and               waited.

When               no               call               was               forthcoming               I               left               a               couple               of               messages               with               the               agency               and               then               waited               some               more.

Soon               it               was               9               p.m.

on               Friday               night               and               no               word.

I               spent               the               whole               weekend               fretting               about               how               I               to               find               out               if               I               was               supposed               to               start               or               not.

On               Monday               morning,               I               called               the               agency               at               7:30               a.m.

and               got               no               response,               so               I               took               matters               into               my               own               hands               and               called               the               employer               directly.
               The               conversation               was               brief               and               awkward.

I               explained               I               was               calling               her               because               I               hadn't               yet               heard               from               the               agency,               knew               she               wanted               someone               right               away,               and               didn't               want               to               leave               her               in               the               lurch.

Her               response               was,               "No,               we               won't               be               needing               you.

Thanks               for               checking."
               I               finally               got               a               call               back               from               the               agency               at               1:30               p.m.

that               day               that               said,               "Sorry               we               didn't               get               back               to               you.

Unfortunately               they               decided               to               go               with               someone               else."
               I've               decided               to               go               with               someone               else               too               --               a               different               temp               agency.

In               the               meantime,               I'm               coping               by               freelancing               online.

I've               found               a               lot               of               good               gigs               lately,               which               is               a               relief,               but               it               hasn't               escaped               my               notice               that               most               of               them               are               coming               from               overseas.

I               won't               believe               the               economy               is               recovering               until               I               see               evidence               of               it               in               my               own               world.
