I would enjoy working there again. Maybe they will get enough funds to hire me back we do keep in touch me and my Supervisor

I can not think of one. My duties were written and I followed directions

Seeking local employment within the Guthrie Oklahoma area. Receptionist, front office, retail, customer service, cashier, housekeeping.

I admit it. I am a smoker. Many employees smoke, many more do not. Last year, I left my most prolific job which lasted 10 years because it had no upward growth, to look for a permanent job that I could move upwards in and call home. On the way, I discovered that a temp employee can be fired, or ‘let go’ because that employee is a smoker. I worked a temp job at a well-known tech company about 5 months ago, I was there 6 weeks and performed my job efficiently and admirably. I was the main point of contact for incoming employees, onboarding them, working with the recruiters, and the facilities department which took care of the new employee’s needs. As a front desk person, I was at a desk I shared with another girl who was about 12 years younger than me (she was very much into natural health, a vegan, and was in thick with the supervisor.) After 6 weeks, I was let go. Just recently I discovered why I was let go from this position after being let go from my most recent temp position, I talked to my staffing recruiter and confirmed it had to do with smoking. My recruiter confirmed that the other front desk girl complained about the smoke smell and the supervisor let me go rather than let her friend be bothered by any smoke coming off my clothes. I took my most recent temp job because I was desperate, it was a receptionist position even though I was initially looking for an administrative assistant or an EA position. That’s ok, I’ve done reception work before, I have great customer service skills, enjoy helping people, and I needed a job. The company only had about 45 employees in the office, and guess who was the only smoker? Yep. Me. On the second day, my supervisor spoke to me, saying “I know you are a smoker” (I was hired through a phone interview so of course, she would not know this ahead of time, nor is it something I would think to disclose on an interview.) She continued, “As you are the first point of contact to possible clients or customers I don’t want you to smell like smoke.” I thanked her for bringing it to my attention and told her I would do everything I could to tamp down and get rid of any extraneous odours. I purchased many aerosol cans of Ozium and similar smoke-combating sprays, I began spraying my clothes, myself, and my area every day. I didn’t smoke in my car at all. I only smoked on my breaks or lunch breaks and I believe the smoke smells were greatly reduced to almost non-existent. Interestedly, this office didn’t really have any walk-in clients or customers, on an average week, zero people walked in, so in an average month only about 1-3 people walked into the office where I was the ‘first point of contact’. But I understood the supervisor’s point, it is the company’s prerogative and they did not want a smoker as their receptionist or have any of their office employees be smokers. I had been working at this small company about 1 month, spraying my clothes and myself after every break. I know the smell was almost non-existent because I asked others about. Unfortunately, I was late to work on two separate occasions, one was out of my control, due to heavy traffic because of a rainstorm which caused major backups on the freeway. I called in and told my supervisor I was running about 10 minutes late and why. She approved my tardiness. The second time it was my fault, my alarm didn’t go off, did I forget to set it or did I turn it off in my sleep? Either was possible, regardless, I was tardy to work by 8 minutes. Two days later I was let go from the temp job. Basically, I know the tardiness was an excuse to let me go, the real reason was she did not want a smoker as her receptionist. Now, three weeks later, after setting up and attending a few interviews, I was offered a great job! It’s at a well-known tech company that has an excellent reputation for treating its employees very well and paying out good wages and bonuses. YAY! While it is only a 3-month temp job I am going to do everything, I can to make sure the temp-to-hire turns into FT hired at the company to make this company my permanent employment home. I ‘ve set 3 alarms for every workday to make sure I am not late. I have recently switched to vaping to get rid of the smoke smell. (Well, I am trying, I do still occasionally smoke real cigarettes but I spray my clothes and myself extensively to combat the smell). And luckily, there are many other employees there who smoke there so I won’t be singled out as the ‘only smoker’. Epilog of the story. You can be let go for any reason when you are at a temp job. Treat every day at the temp job as if it’s the very first day of work, you want to make a good impression and do your best work. Companies pay more for their temp workers and they will look for any excuse to get rid of you until they find that perfect person they want in the position. It can even come down to the fact that you may have extraneous odours clinging to you or your clothes from strong foods, hygiene, to the fact you are a smoker. And yes. I am trying to quit smoking!

I was fired two weeks ago due to personal reasons from one of the supervisors I worked for. She didn't like how friendly I was and that I didn't treat the customers like paychecks but like people with meaning. I'm looking at getting a job in the field of receptionism and advice on how to find a job a little faster

Remember that you are going to work for a locally owned and operated home health agency that has been around for over 20 years. They are good at what they do and they know it. There is no need to have new or innovative ideas while working there. You will only be wasting your inspiration in that respect. The owners are very generous to those who go the extra mile and put in the work. Prepare yourself to work with some very young inexperienced individuals as well. The owners are all about giving young people a chance so they can hopefully mold them into the perfect employee. Not a bad place. Just didn't turn out to be right for me.
