that makes me feel better about it, thank you! I hope I didn’t come off as ungrateful, and I do understand the effects of covid. I’m just hoping that I’m not putting all my eggs in one basket to be told it’s not going to workout. I just feel like I’m not getting a lot of info from them when I ask questions.
hi, this is my first post so I hope I’m doing this right. I’m an RN with a little over 4 years of experience. I applied for a job last month and was offered the position two weeks ago. I accepted the offer over the phone and was told what my hourly pay would be. I was never given anything in writing. When I was offered the job I was told that I would hear from HR the following week. I never heard anything so I called to check on the status and my start date. At this time I also asked for a letter stating what my position and salary would be so that I could start looking for an apartment. The job is out of state (we are moving to be closer to family) so I wanted to start looking for a place to live and have arrangements well before I arrived. I was told that I wouldn’t be able to get anything like that in writing until I heard from HR. I politely asked what the hold up was and she mentioned something about budgets being approved. I asked if the job offer was something that could end up not working out and she assured me that everything was fine and HR would contact me the next week. I still haven’t heard anything and currently have no start date and nowhere to live over there since I don’t have proof of income. This makes me uneasy because I am planning on moving out of state and have already packed up a lot of my stuff. I’m starting to get the feeling that something is off. I want to call HR myself and ask what is going on and why I can’t get a start date or a letter stating what my hourly wage will be but I don’t want to be pushy. I’ve never been offered a job where they tell me what my salary will be but won’t give me a start date or anything in writing. I’m just wondering what you all would do in this situation?
