Hi online crew,
I received an email requesting an interview at an agency in one of the five boroughs. Here's my dilemma. I applied to the agency to work there part/time or per diem. They are one of the few agencies here in the city who will hire a brand new EMT. The agency has been known to be one of the fewer well respected ones to work for and their EMT staff usually last about a year there and then move to another agency or simply quit. However, I don't see myself doing that if I'm able to work there part time BUT in the email (which was a one-liner) they state a time and a place to show up. They request me to pick my own time slot. They did not ask if I was available, nor did they provide directions, a name or a telephone number. I replied asking them if they can set up a different time with me, and I got a simple " WE ONLY CONDUCT INTERVIEWS ONCE A MONTH". I feel I might have accidentally ticked off the sender. How can I show them I do want to work there and have them maybe work something out with me? OR, do I have to abide by their interview schedule all the way? I don't want to lose out on this job.
Thanks,
~ Lucy
