Just go if you want the job. It's one wasted day. If they haven't chosen you when you arrive you could explain that you showed up just in case because you want the position. That kind of motivation might change their mind, if not is one day wasted, so what.

>>2193096
this

if you really want it, show up and hope for the best

But the problem is I wasn't given a name to meet with. And I also don't want to end up traveling 1.5-2 hours in, carrying all my supplies, just to be turned away by security saying I have no appointment.

>>2193032
how long will it take you to the work ?

>>2193167
You can call on the way. Ffs go outside. Like, nigga just open your eyes, nigga

>>2193032
Go or you're gay. You can always hop off before you get to Midtown if you find out they cancel and take the next bus back. You're making excuses which is likely why you're unemployed in the first place.

SAD!

The bus trip will take almost 2 hours. I would have to get on the bus by 8am to be there before 10am.
>>2193234
Once I am on that bus I cannot get off until I'm in Manhattan. If they tell me nothing was approved, I will waste almost 4 hours of my time stuck on a bus. I could be utilizing that time for other projects.

I should also mention I asked what supplies I need to bring and they didn't get back to me about that either. This is for a 4-5 hour gig that pays $35per hour

>>2193285
It will still take at least an hour from where I am to get to battery park. I'm talking about a bus stuck in rush hour traffic going into Manhattan. Sometimes it would take almost 2 hours to get to the financial district, where I used to work.

Jesus, they're really unprofessional. If you're not hurting for work I would just not bother. If you don't need the work it's not worth it letting them fuck around with you like this.

Hello fellow islander. South shore is pretty gay

Don't waste your time unless they call. Like you said, you don't have an appointment, you don't have a contact. If they need you, they'll call tomorrow and have you come by the next day besides, if they are that incompetent of an agency, who wants to work there anyway.

>>2193032
You sound like you're looking for excuses to not go tomorrow. Fuck you. There's tons of other people who want that job more than you do. Stay home and shitpost on 4chan because that's obviously what you want to do with your life.

>>2193300
wake up at 6am, see if there an email. wait till 7:00 am call your temp agency if they answer great, if not fuck it its just 4 hours of commute

This is the way these creative placements work, unfortunately. It can be a last-minute world to begin with but you're usually waiting for your rep to speak to someone who's waiting for approval from someone who's waiting for an consensus.

At least start going, and call at 8 but be ready for them to say not today.

Whoops I made a mistake. Apparently the agency opens at 8:30am.

>>2193032

GO! It sounds like a great opportunity and murphys law WILL fuck you over if you let it. in case you really don't get it you can spend the day at a cafe sketching cute girls and then walk around taking fotos for your flickr or something (not being ironic, judging by the fact that you do storyboarding this is completely genuine advice)

actually that's not that much

>>2194081
>The job was sent to me around 5pm today to start tomorrow at 10am
What the fuck? Who hires people like that? Even if it's a one day gig, how can they expect to get any kind of quality work when they're looking for people barely 24 hours before the job starts?

Ok so I emailed the recruiter a few minutes ago asking if I should come in today even though a final approval has not been made.

5 minutes later I get an automatic reply saying

>"I'm out of the office on Friday, 5/26 until Tuesday, 5/30. If your request is urgent, (name of agency) is open on Friday, 5/26 until 2pm, and we will reopen on Tuesday, 5/30. Have a great long weekend and talk to you soon!"

What the fuck

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagie

>>2195427
It gets better. I called the employment agency today and they said the advertisement agency may not come up with a final decision until 9:30 am when the job is at 10am.

>>2196733
Sounds like you're dealing with a bunch of cunts. Don't expect this to be a long term gig I guess.

>>2196733
Is this kind of thing normal in your line of work? I'd call this getting jerked around, and neither the recruiter or 'company' that's hiring you is seriously considering hiring you.

You can show up, but spending $35 for a 50% chance of working is like only barely above those Mexican laborers outside of home depot tier

>>2193300
I bet you waste 4 hours a day fucking around on 4chan anyway.
Don't come here with your excuses.

wagie is probably on his way to a job he doesn't even have
while I'm eating cereal and drinking coffee

>>2196856
I could waste 4 hours being on 4chan while on the bus if I wanted to. I'd rather use those 4 hours to do something more productive, like building my portfolio or learning from Unity or Maya tutorials.

Take the ferry then the 1 train. If it's on the east side, transfer to the L at 14th and take the 456

Why would u ever live on Staten Island I think I'd kill myself

>>2196926
so what happened? did you go? tell them to fuck off?
