Have you ever had a new job "in the bag" that fell through? - MT

Posted: Dec 19, 2011

Today a job that I had high hopes for and my heart set on -- that had been offered to me -- unfortunately fell through today.

Have this ever happened to you? If so, what happened?

I am still very upset but will post my story after reading the others. Maybe mine won't be too bad by comparison so I'll feel better.

I had one offered on a Friday and waiting for start up stuff, only to hear FINALLY on Monday that they had over hired.

Then there is the job that I started and was promised plenty of work, apparently VERY nice manager... pfft.. read my posts on the company board about response to them

I can relate. sm - MT2

I had a job I was just sure I had. Tested fine, first interview great, second interview even better. I have 40 years experience and it was a QA job, with which I have a lot of experience. I was all geared up and they said they found someone else. I was just shattered. But the good thing is, I just kept looking and I found something better!!! I wish the sme for you!

yes. A scary place it was. - sm

I was/am the sole wage earner for the family. We were moving across country. I had a job lined up at a rural hospital where we were to move, a promised job for about 6 months. Kept in contact with this hospital frequently. Our farm was going up for auction (huge job to get ready) and about 2 wk before the auction/move, in another phone call to the hospital, they informed me, oh, by the way, "we got some new equipment, so we don't need you anymore." I didn't know what to do. The house we were moving to had no other hospitals in reasonable driving distance. Then I remembered hearing about jobs where people worked on-line and I floundered around on daughter's graduation present/computer getting lost on the internet (totally new to me) but scrambled to find information about companies. Long story short, I too found a better deal than the in-house jobs, working on line. I too hope that as one door is closed for you, a better one opens wide!!

Job "in the bag" that fell through. - Another MT

I had what sounded like a really job offer, an abundance of work, working on the Emdat/Inscribe platform, and a good CPL by today's standards. Unfortunately, when I read through the paperwork about what was required to "come on board," my sudden moment of joy and happiness turned to major disappointment. The job required the MTs to have a DBA certificate/Business License in your state, and to purchase a digital encryption for your E-mail account. First of all, I do not have the time or the money to apply for a business license and I do not have the money to purchase a digital encryption. Needless to say, I had to decline the job.

Well, I fell for it hook, line, and sinker. Saw the ad on MT Jobs. Did the pre-evaluaiton test for the company called Cognition Health Partner. It even had my hometown as their location so I jumped on it. Then when I finished the test and the message said I did not meet minimum score and then a recommendation to receive more training and a suggestion to try Career Step, I knew I had been fooled. I thought it was too good to be true that a transcrpition company was a ...

This is the first time on this new pay plan that I've fallen below 99%. I have had two reports audited so far. Usually I have three or four, so maybe there is still hope. The two reports I have had audited each had a tiny 0.25 point error -- enough to drop me down to a 98.75!! ~sigh~ ...

So she signed up for this teach yourself transcription course, captured and enraptured by all its 'carnival barking' about the money, the prestige, and the convenience of working at home and being your own (uh-huh) boss...offering the world on a platter and stopping just shy of suggesting she could meet/marry a doctor.
