I would like to state that the same thing happened with me that happened with the two people below. I sent them my resume, and I made the appointment. It was for a small publishing firm in Mint Hill. I have a Master of Arts Degree in English from Michigan, graduated with a 3.4 GPA, and I was an Honors Scholar. My undergraduate degree was in English and German, and I graduated with a 3.76 GPA. I also graduated with top honors in my college and majors. I called about the job to verify the appointment that would take place on a Friday. The person asked me about my qualifications, and I told them that I had years of customer service experience and even accounts receivable experience. Also, I told them that I wrote on a freelance basis for Examiner Magazine, and I wrote editorials for the school paper in my undergraduate university and my undergraduate university. I helped with the scoring of college entrance scholarship essays alongside editing student papers within my department. He proceeded to ask me: Do you have any customer service experience? Yes, I replied and told him again of my qualifications. He asked me the question again and stated that the customer service experience did not count. He asked me again. I said I did not understand what he meant by the aforementioned question. He then went again to ask if I had proper computer skills and telephone skills. I told him that I was overly proficient in MAC OSX and Windows Operating Systems. He asked if I answered the phone with my other jobs. I said yes, and he asked me how many times. I thought these questions were absurd. He stated to me after I went off my qualifications that I did not have enough customer service experience and writing experience. I asked how much I would need and he said three to five years. I want to get out of the retail game and work in a professional setting, namely in writing and publishing. He told me to stay in retail and actually stick with something I am good at. I am calling these people and giving them a piece of my mind. Never have I had someone diss my qualifications like that guy did.

I applied for a job through AppleOne yesterday, went to their website and registered and set up an "interview" for tomorrow at 10. I just got a phone call from them. Vanessa immediately put me on the defensive by saying that I was looking for an admin job but the majority of my experience is in retail. (So she apparently didnt bother to actually read my resume? Nice). I corrected her on her mistake, mentioned my collective admin experience, my Bachelors degree, and that I was a stay at home mom for 6 years. She then informed me that since I have no sizeable recent admin experience that they couldnt place me in anything admin because most of their clients want someone with recent experience, and then she told me she was cancelling my appointment and sending me a list of agencies that might be better suited to help me (which was just a scanned list of very poor quality with names and phone numbers). Maybe Im just projecting because Im frustrated in general but I am FURIOUS! She was so rude and unhelpful and snarky. I have been unemployed for almost a year - I have found that I am either underqualified or overqualified. I was hoping that "interviewing" with an employment agency would be helpful, but this experience has left me completely stumped. I am beyond dissatisfied with AppleOne and their treatment of me. Dont bother!!

After submitting my resume and going through the online process of creating my own appointment to see an agent, (I was super impressed with that functionality) I was contacted on the eve of the appointment for what I had initially assumed to be a confirmation. I was wrong. The lady with an accent I couldnt place other than to say New Jersey called basically to try to talk me out of keeping my appointment. She downplayed her own companys ability to place candidates and tried to pigeonhole me based on my B.A. and experience into more of an IT role. After rolling with the punches and explaining that I was interested in other fields as well she then informed me placement would be impossible due to a requirement of at least two years in an applicable field. When I pointed out my resume supplied these she then went back to her original argument that I had noted I would be interested in IT and that they wouldnt want to place someone who was going to leave. At this point I got angry and simply told her to have a nice day, ending the conversation. Highly unprofessional and if I were the companys owner Id have a serious discussion about how she presents her company as incompetent in the current job market to prospective employees before they even walk in the door.

Im glad Im not the not the only one who was displeased with my AppleOne experience. I was registered with them one time before with Anthony Justice and he was extremly rude. He seemed to not care about anything I was saying. I registerd recently with Sara Platz. Her customer service was great after going in for my "interview" I heard nothing else from her. i would get mass emails sent to me and everyone else they had registered with them about positions that had nothing to do with me. I called to speak to Sara after a month of no correspondence and got Anthony on the phone. i kindly asked to speak to Sara and after telling him who was speaking he placed me on hold. Only to come back and say shes on the line. I asked if she could call me back, he states she will be on the line for a long time may I help you. I told him no, I will wait for her to call me back. He states she probably wont be able to call you today. At this point Im confused, he insisted on helping me so I told him I didnt like the process they used for employment. I expressed my concerns of no communication and I wanted to deleted from the database. He was extremly rude and laughed ont he phone.I will let everyone know not to go with AppleOne.

Appleone totally sucks. You are basically finding the jobs yourself and emailing your Agent to let them know to submit you for that job, They do not check in or follow up with you. When they do contact you. Its positions that they cannot fill that do not even meet your criteria. They are not a headhunter. They are a staffing agency that you have to initiate contact with, register on their website,set up your appointment, meet with an agent, only for them to tell you to call them every week to check and see what they have. WTF? or If you see a job that they have posted online, you need to email your agent and tell them to send your resume for that job. The Agents do not follow up, other than random emails with some job positing. When you call the office, your agent is busy or has nothing for you right now. My advice, if you want to register with them. Register with multiple agencies because Appleone will not work for you

I had an excellent experience with AppleOne! My recruiter, Jessica Bravo, was great. She offered a lot of help with my resume and overall approach to applying for jobs. Their office, coordinator, April, was absolutely amazing and really helped answer a lot of my concerns. I felt prepared for my own jobs search. There was a lot of work that went into it on my end but Jessica readily provided equal if not greater effort. I was luckily placed in a position I am excited about. It took a lot of time and I had to open myself to learning. Overall, even if I hadnt been placed, I would still give 5 stars. There is a lot of information offered by these recruiters. The guidance alone is worth the extra time. Thank you AppleOne!
