Random Work And Finding A Job

I'd hate to have a job where all I did all day was lick envelopes

Imagine the negative effect on one's tongue in such a job.

Ick.

There's very little that I wouldn't do for money but I draw the line at licking envelopes

I hate overly dramatic interview questions.

'Name a time you showed bravery in your career!'

What? I mean I spoke to the general public, that's brave.

'How did you fundamentally improve the system or inact change at your last job?'

Uh, I didn't? What are you on about? I worked in an office, I didn't lead a revolution. I just did my job. It was not a collaborative - we take suggestions - kind of place. If I'd suggested improvements then I would have just been yelled at for it not being my place.

I've genuinely had these questions and they annoy me a lot.

I hate interviews me.

I've decided that at my next one I'm gonna ask them questions about how suitable of an employer they will be for me. I don't really care if I don't get the job but I'm not gonna let them bend me over the table and f*ck me up the arse.

I hate bosses in this country. They just get away with so much.

I've just found out i have an interview (sort of)* next week. So i guess i have to start pretending.

*Incidently, when did interview processes get so complicated? Used to be you applied, you got an interview, you got hired or you didn't.

Now they make you jump through all sorts of hoops, doing little tasks for them, trying to get to the next stage of the 'process'. Like a damned reality tv show. This interview isn't even even an interview, it's a video meeting 'screener' interview and if i pass that I'll get a proper job interview.

Mine is still under review, it has been weeks

I never believe people when they say they're happy in their jobs when they're earning rubbish money and worked half to death and they have to travel for two hours a day to get there and the boss is horrible too.

I think they're just trying to convince themselves because the truth is just too hard to bare

I applied for a part-time job at a manned dump site, yet they wanted me to go through a lengthy interview process; required references and a drug test. I wanted to say "are you fuxxing kidding me? This is a job at a dump; when the compactor gets full of trash I press a button and compact the trash (super high- tech) I am retired so its been awhile since I was on the job market but I did think "what an overkill"

Quit since Christmas.

Currently in a short term job; attempting to be a graphics designed...
... As a newbie, as I found, editing after a layout is actually a damn headache.

Oh, and having to learn boundaries and scammers sniffing...
Still don't like business as a concept.

Also, other duties. Again, I'm subbing a secretary.
At least I'm not forced to multifrickingtask.
