What is the name of your state? moI worked as an administrative Assistant on a long-term temporary assignment as a temp for about six months. The job ended on March 14th. My supervisor claimed they didn't have anymore work for me to do to keep me working 8hours a day;therefore, they were releasing me from the assignment. Which was ironic because other temps who started working at the bank around the same time I did, but under a different supervisor, were still working at the bank with plenty of work to do. And Bank of America was still calling the temp agency asking for more temps to come in because they needed HELP!! I asked the supervisor if I could use her for reference for future jobs, and she said "YES". I called the temp agency and asked if they knew that March 14th was my last day, and I was told "NO"...they didn't know anything about it. I asked Agency if there were any complaints about my work and was told "NO", Or if there were anything "negative" said about me...and was told "NO". I filed for my unemployment benefits, and received a letter stating that there was an issue against my claim for benefits. The reason was that the temp agency claimed that Bank of America release me from assignment for absenteesim(sp?)
The only time I was late for work was because I had to go to court and I had documentation as proof of my court appointments, and on top of that, my supervisor
allowed me to take care of my court appoitnments and return back to work. After taking care of my personal business I would come straight back to work, not even taking a lunch break, and staying after 5:00 pm to make the time up.
Here's the kicker: on March 3rd after leaving court, I came straight to work and reported to my supervisor. She mentioned to me that they need someone who was reliable.. who would be there everyday, and her boss asked her if she would like to replace me?! I told her that I was reliable, and got permission from her to take off from work and come back the same day. I never took the whole day off! I gave her paperwork as proof of my court appointments. I also mentioned the fact that my work was "satisfactory".
Recently Bank of America Personell office called me about a permanent position. I have already took the test and did a phone interview for the position. I was informed the next step is for me to be interviewed by the Department Hiring Manager and this job is located in the same building on a different floor where I was working as a temp.
I need advice for the the following: Do I use my previous Bank of America supervisor as reference when I'm interviewed by the Department Manager?(and remember, she always acted so flaky with me many times, instead of being professional towards me). How do I show proof for the real reason BOA release me from the assignment so that I can recieve my unemployment benefits? I still have all my court papers documentation.
Thanks for any and all advice.
