When did "Good Sense of Humour" start becoming a desirable attribute when applying for a job?????????????
Is it me or is the world just completely and utterley bonkers??
Next Generation Job Advertisements:
Incompetent corporate pathetic excuse for a company, willing to pay a pittance to employees for doing the most soul destroying work possible WLTM any suckers who don't know what they want to with life, who are willing to apply. GSOH essential. Qualifications/Experience desirable.

the retail jobs over here are always looking for enthusiasticity.
"Please sir, I would
love
to sell your sweatshopperific $30 retro-80's T-shirts to brainless 16 year olds from the suburbs. I want nothing more than the opportunity to work for minimum wage with no benefits. After going through something so mind-numbing as university I've decided that what I really need is the excitement and challenge provided by a sales position at your store" _________________ "Even I know the solution: love, music, wine and revolution..."

I know some graduates just got a job I wanted for 4,000 squids more than I'm on despite the fact that I have 4 years experience doing just waht they asked for, because, "We think you'd get bored"
What.
The.

well i just had a job interview for a job i didn't want and i bombed.........................
YAY!
i don't think the company know what to do with me to be honest.
i'm becoming an enigma
it was probably because rather than preparing for the interview, i decided to listen to OK Computer instead,
or maybe because i was almost drooling at the mouth at the thought of getting the new gorky's album,
anyone got it yet????????

For the first time in 5 years I'm actually doing an ok job and with people who want to 'develop' me... (I think I am some kind of cro-magnan man in their eyes ah well)
And decent coffee to boot! _________________ Scattershot Writing: www.jameseverington.blogspot.com |
