Why is this process taking so long? I faxed in my paperwork TWO weeks ago. I played phone tag with Jessica at SPI for four days. Finally talked to her today and now she's saying it will take 5 more days for the background check to come back! Everywhere that I've ever worked had to outsource their background checks and it took 24 hours.
This whole process is making me very frustrated! Jessica said that she really wanted me to get on with the company (I'm sure she says that to everyone) because I was "very persistent". You bet I am!
My credit union had a problem faxing the information so the lady said she'd give me a week to get back with her for a free refax. I emailed or "contacted" massconnections every single day to see if they had received my fax. Sometimes twice a day or more (only one day did I try to contact them 3 times.) Then when Jessica left the message on Monday, I called her back that night, four times on Tuesday (and emailed for a "quicker response"), and four times yesterday (Wednesday.)
After all this hassle, I'm wondering it there will even be events in my area. I've got at least 4 SuperWalMarts within driving distance, a SuperKMart, 3 Lowe's, a PetCo, and one regular Target. I'm just so frustrated!
Sorry...had to vent or I'd explode!
Oh I think this might not be the job for you lol - sorry to joke around, but 2 weeks is nothing - I think the average from sending paperwork in to actually seeing something at your door is about 6 weeks.
Something will go wrong on at least every other event, if not every single one. If things like that frustrate you, this will not be fun at all.
Persistence may prevail when all else fails... for everything except MC.
