We hired Evelyn Mack as a copywriting apprentice about a week ago.
She signed a 1 year contract (which she has now reneged on), was given quality copywriting books to learn from, she edited one page of copy & then disappeared. She never even read the 2nd book, I got the feeling she thought she only had to read one book & that was it.
She was also supposed to do a research task for us & she never handed in her work on that task.
I e-mailed her twice, IMed her once, not a word from her.
I should have known something was up when on the 2nd or 3rd day on the job she was working outside for a temp agency. That concerned me that she wasn’t around when she said she would be, so I asked her why she never told me she was going to be working for a temp agency, since history has shown me that when a person works for a temp agency, they are never responsible in doing their online work & the last person who did that also just disappeared.
I thought she was an independent contractor who worked from home, so this was disconcerting for me.
I think her so called references were bogus now that I think about it, because they gave her rave reviews, but clearly this behavior is not what an A+ worker does.
Here she was telling me that she wanted to grow with our company, she was practically begging me for other type of work such as personal assistant work.
This is sign I’ve come across in the past. When the independent contractor is desperate for work & constantly asks for more or different work, this has shown me that the person is irresponsible, is not skilled in anything, & just wants any job to bring in the money.
It almost always turns out, that they aren’t talented & don’t truly enjoy the work they do, because people who are very skilled in 1 or 2 areas ONLY offer up those 1 or 2 skills. They know where their strengths lie and they don’t try to push something they aren’t good at. Those people are honest in my opinion.
So bottom line, her disappearance for no reason was very disrespectful!
I finally did get an e-mail from her saying her husband was very sick & she couldn’t work online anymore, but she had to have known all of this prior to applying to our job & wasting our time.
Family should always come first, but if you know family will prevent you from doing a job, it’s one’s ethical responsibility to NOT apply for jobs & then disappear or quit a week or two later. That’s the difference between an A+ worker, & a C or B level worker.
