Took two days off from work and spent almost $100 on train tickets to take an admissions exam and then have a follow up interview with a company in NYC just for them pass me over for the position. This is such fucking bullshit. It was a 25 question reading comprehension test that a 3rd grader could pass, and then a 10 minute interview a few weeks later. Why none of this could have been done online is beyond me.
I was really looking forward to this job because the benefits are second to none with decent pay. The only requirement for this job was minimum 1 year experience in a manual labor position. I've been doing manual labor for almost 10. Plumbing and HVAC. And somehow I'm not fucking qualified for the position????
We should be able to just invoice these companies and charge them for wasting our fucking time. I'm out like $400 now whatwith train fare and missing two days of work. Fuck this system.
