For the last three months I've been tossing out applications left and right. Nowhere wants to give a physical store application anymore. Everything is online now and you know what that means!
Emails, passwords, Application uploads (Whose information is still usually left blank or is incorrect when processed on the next page anyhow. 😉 ) And the greatest of all….tests. TESTS, TESTS, TESTS!
Math tests, reading tests, writing tests, cognitive tests, behavioral tests. Tests that are fifteen minutes, forty five minutes, an hour! And for what? Just to get considered for an interview for minimum wage jobs?
I am so damn tired or having my life sucked out by these time vampires just for the opportunity to gnaw on scraps. I'm so tired of making profiles and handing in three to six references that won't be read. I'm tired of being told I'm being timed and that I better not have any interruptions around.
Going out of my freaking mind when it literally just used to be walking into a store, shaking a manager's hand, and seeing about openings. Christ help us all.
