First question, did I want to interview for an ubber role and another question was to ask where else did I apply to as I had mentioned I had other job offers when asked what I had been doing since my previous application with Zevas which I was successful with an offer however, had to decline as the hours where unsuitable.

Standard interview questions however the interviewer stated that I was over qualified because it's 'just a receptionist position'. I was sent for a drug test and hired. The facility manager complimented my work at first but then started complaining daily. She was unrealistic about turn times payroll calculations and reports that she gave me to do for 60+ laborers WHILE answering all calls for the company. I found out that I was the ninth person in that position in less than 3 years. (Also, unbenounced to me, I was interviewed and hired while the current employee iin the position was on bereavement. When she found out, she was too distraught to come back. This was the plan of the facilities manager as her way of getting out of paying unemployment to previous employees. This was common for her.). Upper management is not in this state to witness this.
