Sorry for the typo in the title.
I'm in desperate need of a job and and applied to do taxes at Jackson Hewlett. If you complete their IRS approved 60 hour online course on tax preparation, they'll hire you to work in one of their stores for the tax season.
Had a Zoom interview with the district manager today.
When replying to his questions, he said “Can you please say a clear yes or no instead of mmhm”
Umm…OK. No one's ever had a problem with head nods or an “uh huh” during a virtual meeting before.
Second, the Jackson Hewlett store is in a Walmart. I was told I have to WALK INTO THE WALMART and convince people to do a tax return. “Talk to the Walmart employees and get to know their names, ask family and friends too. Ask people who they do their tax returns with and convince them to come to Jackson Hewlett”. Ewww.
No. Fuck this shit. I didn't know job duties included chasing random customers down in the middle of Walmart and convincing them to do tax returns with you. To be honest, I assumed that people would book scheduled appointments with us, and I would do their tax return when they come in. Like a…normal office?
Please don't tell me H&R Block also requires tax preparers to chase people down on the street and persuade them to become customers too.
