I had a job interview yesterday and maybe I am old fashioned but what the fuck happened to the interview process? I have had a few interviews over the past several years. Some have required tests in order to test your skills that may be needed for the job. Some were accounting tests and some web design whatever but it was to test you skills in the field.
Now the past couple interviews I had it wasnt even a test of skills or knowlege. It's basically a 2 minute interview and a 1 hour test that should have been the interview itself. They ask you 200 stupid ass questions, which are the same 15 basic questions reworded. It's unfair I think cause it's so void of personality and human emotion, you can't answer a computer like you can a person who is interviewing you. It's not like the recruiter was so busy anyway, he was just sitting around smoking or on the phone discussing what movies he saw and what movies he wanted to see... I shoulda reccomended him some movies I guess :2:
i walked in to the store, asked if they were hiring and she told me to pick up the 5 gallon jug of chlorine and see if i could. then she told me to come in that friday to start. :5:
i had to take that same exact test when i started school 2 years ago. theres some reason they give it. but i dont feel like typing a lot.
but yeah, i like my job. :5:
Hope they didn't drug test you, stoner.
nope. i didnt smoke that week at my friends house just in case though.
I was talking to Gonzo. :39:

That was your in!
You had an opportunity to make the interview more personal and human and you blew it.
Way to go, Video McRental.
The one I had to take for my current job asked some freaky shit where I couldn't figure out what they were looking for or how the Hell it pertains to working in an office. I just found it. Here are some from the "always, sometimes, or never" section:
I find it a good idea to avoid situations that excite me too much.
If I am alone at night in a house, I tend to feel "creepy" or fearful
I have come near fainting at the sight of blood

But there was no drug test....I'm confused.
I applied for a job at a construction site. The foreman said "You can have the job, just fill this out", and handed me a shirt.
I got a job modeling pants the same way.
for women. HO HO! HEE HEE ! HAR HAR!!
my first interview ever at Waldenbooks, He asked me why i wanted to work there, and i said "I love books and I love reading". Then he asked, "So who are your favorite authors", and I sat their silently for about 5 minutes cause i couldn't think of one author. I finally said Stephen King or something. Needless to say I didn't get the job.
What kind of questions did your parents ask at the interview before they handed over their fortune?

that says a million things about you and none of them good. that is fucking pathetic.
I've been sitting here for the past five minutes trying to think of some authors also. Still can't.
the very sad thing is that i am tempted to believe you
part of it was the pressure of the fact that it was my first interview. I've read at least 3 books in my life, sheesh
