I was a very dedicated, passionate volunteer in 3 departments for several days a week for over a year. I was treated very well by the Volunteer Manager, Suzanne L. and by the departments I worked in.
I was treated so well that I thought I wanted to work there, and that muddied the waters. A paying position opened up in the dispensary for which I was totally qualified for, but the HR manager, Miriam M., apparently does not think much of the clinics volunteer work force (over 1,000 people) and I was not even asked to interview. Very political place, only about 100 employees, the management claims not to know what goes on in the trenches.
In this job market, who turns their back on their volunteers?
