Frances Landers responded to our technical admin assistant on oDesk, & when I found out she was working full time, I said we can’t consider her for that position.

We don’t hire people who only want a part time job.

So I gave her a list of positions that could be part time & she picked the copywriting apprentice position saying she had experience writing articles.

We went through everything & the night we were supposed to finish off the interview via the phone, she didn’t answer her phone, not her home or her cell & I was surprised, as she was REALLY excited about the position.

Needless to say I wasn’t happy.

She fell asleep on the couch, so I asked her point blank the next day if doing a 2nd job was going to be an issue for her & she said that night was an unusual circumstance with her son & it won’t ever happen again.

We completed the interview that night & she was sent a test project where she was to edit the copy for an existing web page.

She was allowed to pick one out of two & she did. The following day she e-mailed me telling me she would get it back to me by 8 pm that night, which was Saturday.

So you guessed it, that night at 10:30 pm when I got to my computer I received nothing from her. Not even an e-mail stating she would be late.

The next day I e-mailed her saying I was very disappointed in her actions & I never heard from her again.

I knew she got my e-mails & she has been online since then.

Another independent contractor who wasted my precious time & I feel plays games with companies.
