About BARRY GRAINGER Insurance


Imagine my surprise when I discovered that:

  1. The company address on your job ad for Admin Assistant was wrong;
  2. no directions were e-mailed me by Emma - despite being promised by her when she knew my correct address;
  3. that selection criteria were no posted in the job ad so that candidates could not know whether to apply or not; meaning that your company does not know what it wants from candidates;
  4. that the spelling test I took (score: 74/75) contained a wrong answer so could never be answered 100% (Collectable is spelled thus, as well as thus: Collectible - you marked the US spelling to be the only correct one);
  5. that you employ no-one with a criminal record yet claim that no-one would be employed unless they reveal the exact nature of their offence. Then claim that any statement made is not to be believed.

Just imagine my surprise about this and the poor reputation you have in the business!

Not only amateurish and unprofessional but also a waste of people's time - especially your own.
