I had to call recruiter they never responded to my application even though they requested I submit it because husband and I will drive team (they loved his resume) I was given an orientation date based on if I get them my information. Well done with school passed state exam now time to get recruiter my information which it was requested I email it but she never sent me an email address. I will fax it but my question is am I wasting my time? Do I need to go over recruiter to hiring manager? I am left in dark here not know what is next and I don't like it.
What company are you wanting to hire on with? Most of the larger companies have online applications on their web site and some will require that you submit your application on their form on their site. Best if you apply to at least 3 or more companies. Dad always told me to "shop in threes".
you and hubby should both move on.having been around this industry a year or two, i have learned that more often than not,trucking companies that show no interest are not interested.simple enough.an example is the dispatcher or dm or whomever the megas have the driver deal with constantly disregard the driver's requests.they are no longer looking out for that driver and are basically desiring that driver to move on elsewhere. why start with a company that displays,right off the bat,a disdain for those that actually make the company the money? no need for the recruiter blues.have other options lined up,they'll pay off,and when the one recruiter calls,advise them that you are no longer interested. perhaps post this company's name in the section here that lists it,sharing your experience for future drivers.they will appreciate it.
The way Ive always done it is put 3 or 4 apps in, give them time to process, if I didn't hear from them in a reasonable time, go on and put 3 or 4 more in, etc, etc. The ones that did contact me, Id talk to but if they didn't, I wouldn't worry about it. If you've talked to the recruiter, she may have sent the info to the wrong email addy? Or the email may have went to your spam folder? I guess if you have their number, you could call and tell them you didn't get their email? They probably get 100's of apps a day, so they may be just overlooking yours? From the way it looks as though things are going down in your situation, Id have to agree with the others, just try putting in some more apps. If I haven't learned anything else in trucking, I have learned that things are not always exactly how they look in trucking.
Well the interest was shown in my husband I hadn't finished school yet but they requested an application which I filled out. Company is Watkins and Shepard we did talk to dispatch today they want more paper work on work history and have said an orientation date but nothing in write. Seems so non committal guess I am not used to maybe from potential employer been my own boss to many years. All new to me.
keep on trucking and pass watkins and shepard.if they can't commit for a hubby/wife team,especially with hubby having experience,i'd be putting it in the big hole and add to the intensity job search wise- check into much smaller outfits.heck you may even wind up in a truck. <slang for one that does the job and then some . best of luck.it will happen.
