Default What the hell?!

I own my own business and have been hiring for the past few months. Thankfully, unlike most business' in this economy, mine is not doing too bad.

I have interviewed person after person who have told me that they are ecstatic about getting the job and working yet they don't show up on their first day!

One told me he forgot! Where are all the hard working people!?!

Sorry guys, had to vent!

What's the pay? Enough to make it worth while to move to SoCal?

I'd doubt it based on the people that you're hiring, but couldn't hurt to ask.

Well, there are several positions that I'm offering. There's sales and a front desk position. The sales position pay ranges from 40-120K while the front desk position is $12 an hour.

The odd part is the fact that the people that I'm interviewing are qualified college graduates...some even have families that they need to support. The same guy that told me he forgot to come in called a few days later asking for the same job...HE DIDN'T SHOW UP THE SECOND TIME EITHER!

I'm not attempting to make this a "hiring" thread but if you want further details PM me and I'll shoot you an email.

That's just bad form. Talking about burning bridges. You should actually be happy he weeded himself out before you guys started.

Tell me about it! I'm waiting for him to call me a third time. Maybe he has permanent amnesia?

If you weren't so far, I'd consider a 9-5 again
