    Well today was the day. I got cleared to come back to Prime.
    It's kinda crazy that it was the same day I told them I had been cleared by another company and was probably going to start their orientation soon.
    Thanks to everyone for your support through this, especially the ones behind the scene keeping me going.
    So now I have a decision to make. Prime, or the new company. My heart has been set on Prime since day one. But I feel like they drug their feet until I pushed them.
    I could be wrong but the timing says I'm not.

    How long does it take for the recruiter to get back with you? I applied online a few weeks ago & have left several voice mails for Joan my recruiter but nothing.

    It varies call and speak to another recruiter if your recruiter not answering they can check your file and tell you what's going on

    My recruiter is hit and miss. Sometimes, they return my messages the same day - within hours - other times, it takes a few days. I get the feeling that they're pretty swamped most of the time. But *weeks* is pretty long, I think I'd call to find out what the hold up is, and talk to whomever I needed to in order to get an answer.

    My recruiter is Lane. He has done a few things slower than I wanted but all in all I've been pleased with him.
    I'd have to say that you definitely should have heard something by now. Do you think they are having to dig into your back ground? Any issues that might be holding up the process?
    Hope you hear something soon.

    I'm sitting here a week out again. I'll be honest I'm nervous about going back up there. I'm afraid they will find something else wrong again. I had past everything last time, but I still worry.
    What if I get up there and I'm so stressed that my blood pressure is high, what if they don't like my hair cut. Lol
    I'm still going. I guess I just had a huge reality check and I'm a little gun shy now.

    Don't eat the morning of, and don't drink anything but water. That'll get your BP down, and that's my plan.

    Sounds like a good plan. Maybe some aspirin too.
