Apparently I am unemployable. Which makes me irate. Yes, I've been looking for a job.....just something part time and for the holiday season to bring in a little extra cash. Everywhere I called told me they were hiring. I take the time to fill out impersonal online applications (which are now standard and take about 45 minutes) that include pages and pages of ridiculous ethical questions like:
"If given the right circumstances most people will steal?"
1. I strongly agree
2. I somewhat agree
3. I agree
4. I somewhat disagree
5. I strongly disagree
AND
"How many times in a 6 month period would it be okay for an employee to be late for work?"
1. 0
2. 1-3
3. 3-6
4. 6-7
5. 7+
Today I get an email from one of the companies, a very impersonal email stating simply that they are unable to offer me a position. They didn't explain why i.e. my available hours didn't work for them, I haven't had a job in a few years, I failed all of the ethical questions, they could tell that I didn't really want the job to begin with!!! I applied for a customer service position.....for seasonal work for goodness sakes.....they are always hiring. It just really irritates me that they didn't even call me, never met with me face to face and just decided they didn't want me, even though they are currently hiring which they told me over the phone AND have listed on their website.
I called this store this morning and tried to talk to a hiring manager to find out why they rejected me without even talking to me and the operator told me she could pass my info along but no one was available to talk to me at the moment. I told her I would just call back.....I hate leaving messages and having them float around in limbo for other people to decided whether or not to call back. The operator informs me that I will not EVER be able to get a hold of a hiring manager because they are ALWAYS in meetings. Liars liars, evil hateful people. I hate people sometimes.....this is why I like just staying home in my safe house where people don't make up lies.
So, the moral of the story......I shouldn't have a job because corporate America will corrupt me and turn me into a heartless liar.
Can you tell I'm mad! lol Sorry for the ranting. Have a nice Monday.

its funny because when i worked for Lowe's; i did not go by a name, i went by a number. and in order for me to get my hours cut from 39.5 a week(i was part-time still in school). it took me asking 3 different people-3 times each. and when that didnt work i finally cornered them in thier little office and talked to them. I am very glad i do not work for a large corporate company, they have no souls!!!
