Fuck you, HW Staffing Solutions

Back in 2013, when I first became desperate and began applying for general office work, I applied online for an office admin job through HW Staffing. I received an email shortly afterwards from a woman at the agency saying I “appear to be a great fit, how soon can you come to our office and fill out the application?” They were located an hour’s drive away, so I responded I’m on my way, should be there by noon (it was 10:45). I was more than halfway there when at about 11:15 the email came thru on my phone, “I just got word that the position is no longer available. The Client filled the position with an Internal Employee. Thank you for considering the position. My true Apologies.”

I spent the rest of the day trying to regain my composure and finally replied, ending with, “I really don’t know what else to say about this experience, except that I truly hope you and your staff do not suffer from such poor treatment from agencies like yours as I have received these past two years in trying to survive in this new economy."


Since then, I’ve changed my mind – I DO HOPE that EVERY staffing agency employee ends up going through the same hell I have these past few years.
