I recently got hired as a substitute custodian and have been eager to start working since June 10th. I've completed all the necessary training and onboarding, and I even have my badge, but I haven't received a single shift yet. Every time I reach out to inquire about available work, I'm told there's nothing open or that they'll look into it, but then I don't hear back. I'm really excited about this opportunity and was promised at least 25 hours a week, so it's starting to feel discouraging. While I can afford to wait, I really want to get started and dive into this career. It feels like I'm being overlooked, especially since I've heard from multiple people in the district that there's a significant need for substitute cleaners. I'm unsure how to proceed without coming off as pushy. I don’t want to annoy the district head of custodians or escalate things to HR and risk being blacklisted. I'm looking for advice on how to advocate for myself and ensure that my time is valued.
