HR mistake... boo

I am in the process of getting a job in a hospital in a different state and HR called me today to finish a few things (like background checks, orientation days, etc). HR said ok so you applied for X position which is PNR (flexible shift/weekends). I clarified and said X position as an assistant, which is also PNR. She just kept talking and said the hourly rate was $30/hour. I was THRILLED! I currently make $18/hour so this was huge! I told the hubs, then called my mom and happily told her. As I was talking to my mom the HR woman beeped in... she was mistaken (!!!of course she was!!!). She gave me the rate for someone with their masters, not an assistant (no masters), my actual rate- $11/hour. Nooooooooo. Expected, but soooo bummed!

Re: HR mistake... boo

  • That stinks....are you going to take the job or keep looking?
  • It's PRN btw and didn't you already know the salary offer?  But the HR lady really did make a BIG boo-boo, sorry. 
  • What are you going to be doing in a hospital for $11/ hr? The only things that usually pay that low are laundry service or cafeteria.

    That's not true. Here, all the health unit clerks start at around $10/hr.

  • Ah! That sucks! I was going through the interview process a few years back and an HR lady told me highest salary range when we were on the phone discussing a job and asked if that was okay with me and I tried to say as casually as I could "Yes that is a good rate" and inside I'm going Holy Mother that's awesome!!  Needless to say I didn't get the job, but oh well Cool

  • I am working as a speech therapy assistant (aka SLP with no masters). I am going to take the job because SLP jobs in hospitals are harder to come by then jobs in schools and at this point I think it is where I want to end up. It will be nice to make a little money, get more field experience, and hopefully get a foot in the hospital-door regardless of the pay.
