My Experience with Rescuecom
I am not
surprised by the general tone of most of the comments here. I work full time in
the tech business, but after being off work for some months. I thought I would
give this a shot for some extra cash to make up for lost wages and stash money
in the bank. I noted on my cover letter - which obviously was never read - that
I had unique Mac support skills and could work some evenings and weekends. When I
had my phone "interview" the woman who called me didn’t speak enough
English to communicate with me! The anticipated 20 minutes the call was
supposed to take was used up with my trying to understand what she was saying.
I really got hung up on the phone issue, she said that I had to have a specific
PDA phone before the second interview... which with my current service, would
be another $500 plus... uh, I am trying to make money, not spend it. Besides, I
have an internet ready phone (Apple's iPhone), so if they require techs to
carry these, they should supply them. When I
told this woman that I wasn't going to buy a new phone for an interview (who
ever heard of such a thing), she proceeded to tell me that I could buy one and
return it within 15 days for a refund. That really sent off a steady supply of
warning bells! Who legitimately would tell someone this? The
difficulty of trying to understand what she was saying was aggravating, to say
the least, so I asked to speak to someone else. She ignored my request. I then
asked to speak to her supervisor, to which she responded that she was "I
am just interviewing for you to do" and asked did I think she had a
supervisor. I swear, I had no idea what she meant and thought just more
language issues, but she repeated that same statement about 4 more times. Finally,
the frustration apparently was too much for her as well and when I repeated
that I couldn't understand her, she told me that she couldn't understand me
either and hung up. Yeah... like this is some place that I want to work... NOT. Thank God
for the internet, so that we can research companies before using their services
or signing contracts for employment.
