**Ghostrucker** · 07.28.2012

Hi All,
Your friendly Ghost Here. Ive Got some Problems with Swit Pre orientation.
On 7/10 My recruter told me I was ok and orientation would be in about 3 weeks.
This is the letter I wrote on 7/24 after getting nervice on not being able to contact her to her derect line.

"Just wanted to let you know I have one phone right now intill I get my cell working again.... My # is 239-555-555 land line
I've called a few times.. thought you might be on vacation or the numbers are wrong.

Thank you,"

She wrote back.....
" im sorry i have just been very busy. I still have you scheduled for 8/14 will that still be ok?

I wrote back

"I'm very sorry I hope I didn't seem pushy.
ok Great . so are you going to mail a bus ticket or how does that work?
And does the 3 day start on the 14th?

Ok so now on the 27th after not getting an email, I emailed this. (Called few times allways voice mail)

"Hello hope your day is going well. I had a few ?s since the 14th is coming soon and I getting nervice. Since my

truck is in washington state and I need to coordinate things here in FL. If your not busy please call me. 239555555

If you are busy here is some of my Qs.

1. Will a bus ticket be coming in the mail? and if so when?
2.What Hotel will I be staying at?
3. If they don't want me after orientation will I get a bus ticket home?

Thank you very much

I understand about you being a bit nervous. Is there something that you should worry about? Like tickets, accidents and the like? If not, don't sweat it! It's 3 weeks away. Relax.
My recruiter is supposed to call me Monday with all the little details about me leaving on the 6th. If I don't hear from him by, oh, let's say 3pm, I will call him. He said he was going to call. If he doesn't, I will keep calling. I don't leave messages. I call back later. My phone number is also blocked, so I don't know if that helps or not.
OTOH, it IS unprofessional for her not to get back to you. Give it a few days, and call again. I wouldn't leave a message, but that's just me. I'd call and ask for someone else to assist you. One thing I can't stand is "I'm too busy, blah blah blah." Like we're ALL not busy. Sheesh.
Take a few deep breaths, give it a little time, as it's not down to the wire. Start freaking out 10 days before...like me!!

And...GOOD LUCK to you!!

I hope you didn't leave out the last number in your phone number, like you have been in your posts.

'nervice' - actually spelled nervous.

If you are scheduled for the 14th, then that means the 3 days begin the morning of the 14th. Early.
So, you need to be at the motel on the 13th.

If you don't make it through orientation, getting home is on your dime. So make sure you have enough cash for food, the ticket home, and possibly an extra night at the motel.

I agree with EnigmaGal. Keep calling every hour or so until you get through.

She has her hook in you and has your interest. Wait until you're about 7 to 10 days out and ring her phone off the hook if she hasn't contacted you prior with your orientation packet or info. Otherwise it's kind of a waste for her to set up your stay this early. Things can happen between now and then.

Good luck on your start.

**FatDaddy** · 07.28.2012

Simple answer is you are dealing with a recriter for a mega carrier. Since your orientation isn't. Scheduled for a couple more weeks you aren't on her list of priorities because she is following up on all her recruits that are starting this coming Monday and pushing you off till your orientation date approaches. Get used to being just a number

**Ghostrucker** · 07.28.2012

Your very correct now that I think of it. Ill bet there is a huge waste of tickets and pre plans made on personale in the past that changed their minds or couldnt go. Now with everything that has been said to me here and on this post ... Thank you ...You guys gave me a big chill pill
