Usually the second interview is the here is how much we will pay you now start signing stuff. What did they ask you? Was it the same people that originally interviewed you?

The interviewers needed a laugh, so they asked Benny to come back for entertainment. They probably filmed it so they can watch it over and over again and get a chuckle.

Benny the Snake posted:I showed up waiting for the store manager to interview me and the shift manager who I wrote the card was passing by and he told me. I know, Benny. I know that this is just a forum thread and you're not putting in any effort to string together a coherent thought, but how can you write things like this and, if you truly think yourself a wordsmith, not die just a little bit?

When do you start volunteering at the library? Edit: Do you talk about your aspirations to become a writer in your interviews or on your resume or anything like that? Serious question. Greg Legg fucked around with this message at 09:49 on Mar 10, 2014 |

Benny, did you see the like 12 love ballads to you in the dome this week? It was kind of precious. Maybe this spoonful bullshit has softened me to Benny for a moment, because for all Benny's faults, I'm pretty sure he's not going to murder a stranger in their sleep for not drawing him a picture.

Benny, please get thee to the Bromide thread and offer to draw her web comics. That dudette is apparently sitting on a huge pile of cash to finance her web comic dream, and I heard that you need some money. Doesn't really matter if you can't draw, I think she's open to anyone signing up to be her artist at this point. That way, Benny gets his job and Bromide gets her comic. And they can probably also have sex. Maybe. Bromide has enough money to split the cab fare anyway.

My current theory is that Benny is a bodysnatcher. What we thought was helping him with daily life has actually been helping him acquire the knowledge to assimilate and destroy the human race one Target parking lot at a time.  The truth is out there, goons.

Benny the Snake posted:The General Manager at the Olive Garden told me I'd get a call back by next week to speak with the district manager. So just like Sears, I'm waiting for a call back. And no, I didn't give a thank you note. Real talk, Benny: Have you followed up on any of your interviews? You know, like, called them? That "don't call us, we'll call you" deal usually doesn't mean they are excited about you, but sometimes being the one that calls back every so often to check up can be good. Don't call too much, though. And don't call too soon. They might ignore you and start seeing some other bus boy with a bigger twig n' berries.
