Dream job

This happened today. Honestly, keep reading. I have been in a serious job search recently but I feel like I want to be a bit picky on where I am applying and sending my resume. I have a few good options out there and I am hoping daily I will get the call to come in for an interview. I have not received any of the "no thank you" emails yet, so I am still hopeful. Along with this job search, I opted to have my new and improved resume posted on Careerbuilder just in case someone liked what they saw.

Mistake. I am getting constant annoying phone calls (I screen) from supplemental insurance companies to sell insurance, "marketing companies", finance companies and all things scam. No offense if you sell insurance. It IS a respectable career, its just not one I want to do. I do not want to sell anymore and I honestly don't think I will be any better off trying to sell supplemental insurance, like Aflac, in this economy.

Aside from the phone calls, I receive several junk emails every day expressing how I am so perfect for their company and to come in for an interview between bla o'clock and fla o'clock on a certain date. Um, no, that is not how the hiring process works for jobs for real companies. I ignore those emails, obviously. However, today at work I received what I knew was another pre-recorded "come work for us" or "I sell financial planning and so should you!" call. I ignored the call and went on with my work. This number immediately called back, so I answered thinking a family member was calling because of an emergency. Nope. It was Sandie. Sandie from GraM (We'll just call it that) who is calling. For the record, I do not remember applying for a job at GraM but I could have with all the resumes that had gone out. She caught me off guard and she was completely rude.

Sandie: Is this Stacey?

Me: Yes it is, who is this?

Sandie: This is Sandie with GraM, ummmm, I sent you an email about an interview?!

Me: Oh? I'm sorry, I haven't checked my email today.

Sandie: NO! I sent you the email last week and you never responded.

Me: I'm so sorry, I don't believe I received it. What is this regarding?

Sandie: Ummm, I sent you an email for a PR/Marketing position at GraM. I asked that you call for an interview. We have one opening today at 2pm I will put you down for it.

Me: Uh, Sandie? I cannot come in today, I am working until 5pm, and I don't believe I have time this week. Can I give you a call back when I know my schedule?

Sandie: Yes. Call me back and let me know either way. I don't know when we are doing interviews again.

Me: OK, Bye.

OK, so I had no idea what this was, and she was so incredibly rude and assuming. I ventured back through my emails, and yep, Sandie sure did email me. I ignored it because #1: Who emails you for an interview? #2: The email states 'GROUP interview' (red flag for a pyramid marketing scheme) and #3: She was fucking rude and I don't want to work somewhere when I know off the bat rude asses will be in my life for 40+ hours each week.

Here is the email I received when I dug it up.





First of all, Sandie, spell my name right. You would think that considering you spell your name with an "ie" instead of a "y" that you'd be super conscious about spelling names correctly. Second of all, group interviews? We all know that means pyramid marketing scheme. If you didn't, now you know. I've been duped before. Thirdly, what is this job for?? What is the position? What IS GraM? Oh Sandie, go bite a juicy one and leave me alone. I didn't call because I am not interested in your schemes.

Yes, this happened to me. Of course!
