She responded to my ad for a Jr. Editor on www.Directfreelance.com
I’ve unfortunately had many many problems with editors.
They seem to have a lot of emotional issues and can be very nasty at the core. Why, I have no idea, but this has been my experience overall, although the odd one is nice.
When it came to filling out our online application, she didn’t do well, missing the entire top section of the page.
While it is common for average to below average people who work online to ignore 90% of what you send them because they really don’t care about anything but making a quick buck in the easiest way possible, from an editor one would logically expect them to be able to read everything in its entirety.
I was nothing but nice to her when I told her she didn’t follow the instructions on the application. I didn’t mean it in a nasty way at all, I was just being my casual self because I’m not an anal stuffed suit.
I even wished her well, BUT, this is the immature, insecure response I received back…
“Your (she can’t even spell here) absolutely right Michelle - I did bomb the reading on the ad. Fortunately for me, I do not want to work with someone that replies to other’s with words such as bombing. In this case it’s my gain and your loss.
Jill”
To top it all off, she then reports me to the site www.Directfreelance.com and instead of them investigating what happened, they booted me from their site for absolutely no reason.
Nope, I don’t take kindly to people who are nasty, vindictive and go around blaming others for their actions.
Clearly she isn’t one of those “star” workers us companies wish to hire. This shows not only in her spelling and lack of attention to detail, but also in personality as well.
