I just got a call from 941.371.7141 and it was Pat Donnelly. I had to ask her what the position was and it didn't fit my skill set at all. I initially agreed to the interview but then decided to do a little digging. I will NOT be showing up there tomorrow! Thanks, everyone!
I also received the same message to set up an interview with Pat Donnelly this morning. Glad I googled the company before I returned the call. She got my resume on career builder!
I just got a call yesterday from Pat Donnelly with Bankers Life down in Sarasota, Florida (60 to 70 miles from where I live) wanting to schedule me for an interview for a "Management position" after pulling my resume from Monster.com.
I'm glad I did some research and came across these comments, because I went through this a couple of years ago with a company in my area that had about a dozen of us herded in for a group interview with the branch Manager, and they wanted us to pay over $400 upfront for the training and licensing fee.
During this long interview where the Manager was explaining about the company, more than half the people had gotten up and walked out of the interview. And the thing that I found more interesting than these people walking out was that the Manager didn't even react to it, which told me that this is a common occurrence.
I really don't know how this Pat Donnelly sleeps at night, and I hope that anyone who gets a phone call from her will NOT fall for this type of scam.
Same thing with me...just listened to my vm and was interested because I'm looking for a real job, but when I saw all the negative bs concerning Pat Connelly....seriously???
Glad I checked before scheduling and wasting my time. I LOVE the highways of information.
Good luck finding a real job!
