LabCorp not hiring, going out of business?

Hello everyone. I wish I had found this forum sooner! Thank you to all of the other posters who shared their LabCorp horror stories with us.

Over the course of 2 years, I wasted my time applying (and re-applying) for 8 different LabCorp positions in the Nashville, Tennessee metro area and never heard back from them. Keep in mind that Nashville is the healthcare industry mecca of the U.S. -- home to dozens of national headquarters and more than 220 healthcare companies.

When I applied to LabCorp, I submitted my information online AND delivered my resume to them in person.... but they never had the courtesy to respond. I am college-educated, have over 10 years of customer service experience in Hospitals, two decades of steady employment history, excellent references, and I could go on and on. I was certainly qualified as I met all of their stated job requirements. Over-qualified, maybe? Whatever it is, their HR department is asleep at the wheel or nonexistent.

I now suspect that their internet job postings are bogus. The posts in another forum thread titled "Don't you notice LabCorp is always hiring?" didn't surprise me at all. I had the same experiences! They show their job openings as "updated" but they're acutally nothing more than bait for new applicants. After reading so many similar reviews on here, I can only assume that they keep a steady stream of "yes man" applicants coming in to replace all of the employees they fire. Maybe its better that I didn't get those jobs in the first place.

LabCorp wasted my time, and a company is only as good as its reputation. I sure won't recommend them to any of my colleagues.

Looking for a job is a little tougher now. Experience and good employment record notwithstanding.
Perhaps some of the good companies out there do not even have time to respond to applicants. Seems cold or that they could be indifferent, yet ... that is the way it is.
Competition for existing jobs is getting keener. Network, network, grow a thick skin, networks some more & check into as many on-line job sites as seem to be working.

Wow, now I don't feel so weirded out by Lab Corp. I responded to a number of openings, a late eve/night shift in a perfect location to my present part time job. I have 13 + years experience in medical lab tech (albeit veterinary medicine but a full service lab nearly identical to the human field) & data retrieval & entry experience, sample collection & prep (& protocol for sending out) etc. I got two odd responses from HR stating that I "would probably want more money than any of those positions pay" . . . ?! What did that mean? Since I was looking for those specific hours & that location was excellent for me, I responded politely about salary negotiable, & the HR person actually calculated hourly wages to a yearly amount, again stating the I "would probably want more than the job(s) would pay." WEIRD?
