of this office are what I question
most. Upon making my first ap-
pointment with Mr. Tyrone
Moore, I arrived at the scheduled
time, i only 7to be told he had
entered my name on the wrong
day on his calendar and that he
wasn't in. So, I rescheduled.
On the day of my second ap-
pointment, I again arrived ion
time. Mr. Moore was "out" so I
read the Erie Times and waited.
Over a half hour later, he return-
ed with two companions who he
promptly escorted into his office.
When they emerged some fifteen
minutes later I finally was able to
meet with him. After a brief con-
versation it was obvious he had
not familiarized himself with my
file. I was sure of this when he
told me to go out and get it from
the secretary. The next few
was told by his secretary that he
had just left for "a conference at

this office really providing? I find
it rather ironic that in my at-
tempt to gain a position, begin a
career, and establish my self as a
professional 'that' I must? seek
direction from such an inconsis-
tent, unprofessional office.
I for one, do not plan to utilize
this "service" any longer. Quite l
frankly, I am afraid they would
handle my file and my creden-
tials the same way they have
treated me! - | %
