Don't Hate The Hater, Hate The Hate!

[The Squirrel]

I'm getting sick with how hard it is to find a job in this country. People won't even answer honestly if they are even hiring. YES I KNOW I CAN APPLY ON YOUR FREAKING WEBSITE!!!!

 

[Anubis]

It's all about who you know.....so.....get to know some people......maybe be a bit willing to put out.

I hate the fact that you can't purchase a waterproof cell phone.

Seriously? I mean, I like going on the water rides at amusement parks and I don't want to rent a locker just to put my cell phone in. I certainly don't want to go all the way back to my car to put my cell phone in it.

They make waterproof watches and waterproof cameras. How difficult would it be to make a waterproof cell phone? Or at least a waterproof cell phone case.

 

[The Squirrel]

Boost mobile has a phone that claims to be waterproof.

 

[Anubis]

They make Waterproof Cell phone cases.

 

[wiegeabo]

that's what I needs about a week ago...

 

[Anubis]

What you needed was to remember that you have a GD non waterproof phone before you went playing water sports.

 

[wiegeabo]

I just dropped my phone. Accidental wetness.

 

[redmarvel]

that's what I needs about a week ago...

I needed it a couple of weeks ago when I forgot to bring little zip lock sandwhich baggies for everything in my money belt. It all got soaked including my cell phone. My Fido dealer told me there were no waterproof phones or cases.

 

[redmarvel]

I can picture it now.

"I want to get wet, and this is crazy
but my phone's not waterproof
so you'll have to page me"

Not saying it's cute, but it gets the job done I suppose.

Heh..same in my country.I remember a few years back, i was looking for a job, and the only one i could find in the area where lived back then was a crappy job filling shelves at some warehouse.

So i went to the job interview, and there was this smug supervisor.After a couple minutes of standard questions, he told me to write ..in 25 words or less...my motivations for solliciting for the function. For a few seconds i got confused and looked at the door, thinking maybe i was in the wrong room and this was actually a job interview for a brain surgeon for some hospital or something..

But there was no mistake. he really did asked me to write a lengthy motivational letter for a job...filling shelves.

I wrote something stupid on purpose and ended up not getting the job...

 

[redmarvel]

25 words is lengthy?

He was trying to see how well you would do the most menial of tasks.

Your response could have been "Though I'm applying for a job filling shelves, I'm hoping my skills and talents will shine through and I'll advance rapidly" (21 words)

 

[Scarecrow_King]

writing 25 words is not an unreasonable request. If you're too lazy to do that, how exactly do you plan to hold a job?

They probably put that question in there to weed out people who don't really want the job. Looks like it worked...

 

[redmarvel]

Frankly, I must admit I hate the whole writing resume, hunting for job, interview process. I know I'm an intelligent, capable, hard working person, but I just get too nervous during interviews. I fear I come across as a total dimwit.

 

[Anubis]

Shoulda did an extended Haiku.

I always keep my learners permit in my wallet, when I finally got a glimmer of chance to get a driving instructor my card is no longer there, I lost it
Darned luck, guess I will go to a neighboring country to finally earn my driver's license

`

It's not an unreasonable request...if you're looking to apply for something other than that kind of job.

I mean..c'mon now...

Oh and bear in mind, this was years ago.

I am horrible at interviews. The only experience I have is in retail, so I know what I am expected to say in those. But if I apply for something out of my comfort zone, it's a disaster. At one interview I was asked what is my proudest achievement to date, and for the life of me I couldn't think of anything other to say than 'well, I haven't killed anyone yet!'

 

[Anubis]

I usually lie. I delivered four babies and a horse.

 

[wiegeabo]

At the same time

Blind folded

Heh..he would've given you the job!

But the question is, if you were in my position that day, would you have reacted the same way, or...

That time...i just moved to that city, quit my previous job and the job that i was promised wasn't there, so i was in a panic mode. I saw the ad for that job and thought; 'heh...a trained monkey could do this..how hard could it be? '

So when i got there, i just wasn't expecting that kind of job interview

So frankly, when he asked me to write that,i dunno why exactly...but i felt insulted.
