I could not stop crying today after being in our local post office. Reason being is I had applied for a Part-time position right before the covid restrictions were placed upon us to shelter in place. It's a lengthy process to apply for a government job, especially a postal one. I spent countless hours online filling paper work out and its not like they give you a lot of time to respond either, kind of more like being demanding by saying if you don't hurry up to fill this out in such in such days, you will not be considered for employment. Mind you you only get two days for most stuff to be handled and it's really not alot of time. Well, I made it through to being considered and was even finger printed which is the last step to being hired and more or less insures you have the position. Months go by and I am waiting to start work and nothing happens, then finally I get an email informing me for another position at another location for which I did not apply for that they wanted me to accept and start orientation. This position is more than full-time with a minimum of 12hours a day for six days a week. I called up Human Resources after the email to confront them about this. Long story short it's all about politics and the excuses were in high dose that day. I let HR know that I didn't appreciate the long delay for whether I got the position or not, they went around that answer. In short someone else got the position and I was told that I didn't supposedly score high enough. Then why did you let me apply for it?? By the way I do have previous experience with the postal system, I delivered mail to the Keauhou (name of the town) centers Post Office Boxes as well as did postal pick-up, it's not like I was a person off the streets applying. I was at the Kona location this morning asking about that position and if it had been filled or not so I could get further information or evidence of the bait and switch tactic so I could call HR up again and confront them for lying about. In short, it boils down to nepotisim and favoritism and I am tired and exhausted over it. I live in a good ol boys state. Things are tough in a small town for employment because its who you know and not what you know. It's even tougher now with covid restrictions and the lock down. I need prayer to not be so angry, my heart is broken. I really had my heart set on this job. Don't know what to do now, been applying everywhere and nothing. I really need a job and am seriously wondering if I will ever get one
