I am the receptionist at Company X.
My fiance also used to work for Company X but he was laid off in 2008.
Since then, he has applied for several jobs at Company X, including jobs he used to do. Not only has he never been interviewed for any of these jobs, no one in human resources has even contacted him to acknowledge receipt of his resume.
But other people have been hired into these positions (most of them coming from a company that Company X bought out a few months back).
Fiance has indeed been going through the proper procedure for applying for a job with Company X - the idea is to go to the website and submit an electronic application & resume, which is transmitted to our corporate office in a different state. We don't even see any of this information until Corporate sends it to us.
Yet seven times, he has been ignored.
So, ever since then, if I see any resumes come to our office through the mail (which is not the proper way to apply anyway), it goes into my purse, it goes home with me, and gets tossed in the dumpster. I am determined to narrow the field of candidates for any job, and thus reduce the competition for my fiance.
Just for the record - my fiance has continued to work for this industry, only he is currently doing so via the local union. People at Company X often request him for various jobs. So they know him, they know his work, and they LIKE his work. Problem is, those are the people who don't have hiring power. |

Got to agree.
Agreed!
^^ What she said. When you get caught you're butt isn't going to be laid off, it's going to be fired. Have fun with that.
Okay so they obviously dont want to hire your fiance back. Get over it and look for jobs elsewhere. I understand the economy is tough but as jellyka said, take the OBVIOUS hint and start sending resume's elsewhere. No one these days is going to hold it against him that he was LAID OFF. However, if they find out what you're doing not only will you be FIRED but you will lose, as LN said, all credibility, and good luck ever getting a job as a receptionist again, if they find out you were fired for throwing out paperwork. That's stupid as hell and you're denying people who, lets be real here, might need the job more than your fiance.
Maybe you should just accept they don't want to employ him instead of denying people who have legitimetely applied a chance. What makes you the be all and end all to decide whether he is better then them? Clearly he's not if they still haven't hired him.
So, they sack him, yet he continues to apply for a job there, wow, he has some brains!
As an HR person in my company, we lay people off, but we're really firing them with no intention of EVER hiring them back, even if the same position opens up. Additionally, there is a good chance that they won't hire him back because he is your fiance and soon to be husband. Some companies don't/won't allow that.
You could get fired. And then you'll be in the same boat. Tell your dumbass fiance to look elsewhere because obviously Company X laid him off because they couldn't afford him anymore, what possibly makes you think he's going to get hired again after SEVEN tries?
This is quite disturbing. I agree with most here....obviously they dont want to rehire him, yet youre taking the opportunity away from someone else who just might need the job much more then he does. Shame doesnt begin to cover what you should feel.
not to mention the legal ramifications for stealing mail, and losing your job, like everyone else said, they OBVIOUSLY don't want to hire your fiance, or they would have.
