and all the pagans began to smile and;

A computer just asked me if I can count above the number fifty.

Have I mentioned that I hate my life, recently? It definitely hates me.

Wow.

Just wow.

When a computer insults your intelligence...

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

It really went for the irony, too--that question was number sixty on the questionnaire.

[ignitible.livejournal.com]

... Does this mean you pass because you spotted the irony?

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, the only possible answers were true or false.

[ignitible.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I hate true or false. I don't see how this reveals a lot of your personality. You just click the one that makes you look better.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

In my experience, knowing how to make yourself look as good as possible is the number one requirement to get a job. So, really, it's an awesome test.

[ignitible.livejournal.com]

... This would explain why I probably didn't get that job at Yonkers. I was doing it wrong.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Lie, lie, and lie some more.

"Are you a creative or a conformist?" What do you think they're looking for?

[ignitible.livejournal.com]

My RL friends and I have come to the conclusion I suck at lying, mostly because I forget.... well, I suck at lying face-to-face.

... B-but I thought they wanted fresh, young minds, ready to share their ideas and help make the company more efficient and successful!

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

It usually doesn't occur to me to lie.

They don't, they really don't. NO ONE DOES.

If it helps, I think I failed the personality portion of a test when applying at Red Lobster forever ago.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

I have horrible luck with those personality tests. I mean, like--I guess I don't have the attitude employers are looking for! I passed Walmart's, at least. I think I passed this one, too, but... seriously? Seriously? Fifty?

[sunsetsred.livejournal.com]

...Maybe they were thinking more of in English, at least? Hmm.

But yeah, personality tests are kinda bullshit, because so what if I'd rather work on my own, it doesnt mean I CANT do brilliantly working as part of a team. Sheesh.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Maybe they're just testing your lying skills.

"Have you ever known someone to steal something out of a parked car?" (That was really one of the questions.) "Pffft, never!"

[sunsetsred.livejournal.com]

I really think that's the case. Why else would they have all the "Have you ever taken anything, even something as small as a pen or stapler, from your place of work?" questions? Seriously. The honest people are the ones who get fucked over from them.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

I could tell the truth on stuff like that! I think I accidentally took a dry erase marker how from the restaurant I worked at, once, and then I brought it back. But this test had some weird freaking questions.

"Has travel across land become more efficient in the last hundred years?"

"Do you have any desire to engage in risky behavior, like race car driving or sky diving?"

[ignitible.livejournal.com]

You have to be shitting me.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

No, I'm not. It was weird.

[theeternalmind.livejournal.com]

Everyone loves to hate you, Bri.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

That sad part is, I was so flabbergasted by the question that I think I might've... just hit the default answer. Which... I might've said no.

[unicorn]

Pffft. Stupid tests...

You should send me that song! I keep SEEING it.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

I hope I proved myself worthy--they're hiring for exactly the kind of job I'm looking for.

Fine, fine.

[unicorn]

Oh? What?
