Got turned away at a hiring event today for a job I’m ridiculously overqualified for because I “failed” their bs personality test

This personality test was 100% mind games. It was full of ridiculous statements just to fuck with your head. I've never failed one of these stupid agree / disagree assessments in my life. You'd see a statement like: “I am typically quiet at work.” and think the obvious answer is to agree because they don't want someone loud and disruptive. Nope, wrong. Every single question on this thing was a trap like this. I was completely turned away from the interview over this joke of a test. I decided I'd had enough and it's time to give these people a piece of my mind. This is what I emailed them: “Hi, I had an “interview” for your company today at a hiring event and the entire process was unprofessional and insulting. Everyone at this event was treated like cattle and categorized by the bogus personality test on SnagAJob. The interviewers…

I was completely turned away from the interview over this joke of a test. I decided I'd had enough and it's time to give these people a piece of my mind.

This is what I emailed them:

“Hi, I had an “interview” for your company today at a hiring event and the entire process was unprofessional and insulting. Everyone at this event was treated like cattle and categorized by the bogus personality test on SnagAJob. The interviewers were over half an hour late and completely disorganized. It's also insulting when the person interviewing you doesn't take any pride in their appearance when interviewees are taking time out of their day to set the best impression they can. I would be highly embarrassed to have my company represented this way. Hopefully you all can take notes and make vast improvements if you care about finding quality employees to adequately run your business. Your store hasn't even opened yet, so first impressions in a new city are important, and the impression I got today is that your company is a disorganized mess that doesn't value people's time and prospective employees are viewed as nothing but a number. Do better.”

I'm no longer accepting the fuckery these companies want to put us through.
