When I was job hunting last spring, I ended up filling out quite a few personality quizzes, and it's the most frustrating thing. You just know there's some egghead in an office who has worked out the "ideal" profile of the "ideal" worker, and it's a system that's really only rewarding people who know how to play the system, or who get lucky. I had one that asked me to rate, on a scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), the statement "I am anxious most of the time." I have a diagnosed anxiety disorder. I feel anxious 100% of the time, except maybe sometimes when I'm asleep. I am absolutely positive that this falls into "questions a potential employer is not allowed to ask you." I got up from my computer, stormed around the apartment for about half an hour and considered ragequitting, then came back and finished the quiz. Pretty sure I lied on that question. They hired me. I work there now.

Targets used to and might still ask what percent of politicians you think lie. Those tests are some of the most wtf poo poo

Len posted:Most minimum wage hellholes I was applying at early last year wanted full resumes. Why does a gas station need more than a one page application? Who knows but that's how it is now Because power. Power over people is the last pleasure they have. "You want this job I got to offer then crawl in the dirt. Make me believe that you need it more than you need air, maggot"

walrusman posted:They don't need a resume or experience, they just want to know your skills and your work history! Those minimum wage hells already ask for all of that on the regular application you fill out. From my experience it goes like this: 1) Visit website and fill out application filling in job history and experience 2) then after filling out your job history and experience they ask you to submit a resume which contains everything you just gave them in step 1 only their algorithms gently caress the formatting so you have to edit it 3) then you take a multiple choice questionnaire that tells them if you'll be worthless or worth hiring Why bother having me fill out a resume twice just so I can play register jockey at a gas station for minimum wage and no employee benefits?

Because doing tedious tasks which might seem pointless is a large part of the job. If you think you can get a better job, you're not the person they're looking for.

Okay at least I'm not the only one that is being thrown by this. So okay, you're saying they want the info, just not in a separate document called a resume? As many others have said, I usually get asked for both. Where are you in the world?

From the comments on a video of a Rush concert:quote:I had a guy behind me, wired on some very aromatic smoke, who thought (key word being "thought") he was going to get away with singing the words to every song. After The Anarchist and Headlong Flight, I shared some tokes of his pink kush and told him he was a pretty good vocalist. He smiled his wired smile while my son just grinned, knowing what was coming. Then I told this Rush vocalist wannabe that I didn't pay a $1,000 for two Rush tix to their last Toronto concert ever so my son and I could hear his loving cakehole through every song and if he bothered those around him one more time that he'd be picking up his teeth with broken fingers. Everyone around us cheered and thanked me and we didn't hear a peep out of him for the rest of the show. His "friends" never said a word nor did a thing towards me. It may have been that when I corrected his behavior, I had my thumb in one temple and my forefinger in the other just to make sure he clearly understood what I told him. It was a great concert. "This dude was loving wired and annoying. Let me explain how I did the exact same drugs mid-concert to intimidate him."

Serious question, what does “bless your food” mean and which crazy Protestant denomination does this

Jay Rust posted:Serious question, what does “bless your food” mean and which crazy Protestant denomination does this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_(prayer) Fairly common among many denominations, usually referred to as "saying grace." Also fairly common at a lot of not-officially-Christian-but-functionally-so American social groups, like the Girl Scouts, who taught me every grace I know. (Everything beyond "rub-a-dub-dub, thanks for the grub, yay Lord" is pointless showmanship IMHO.)

According to the managers I've spoken to, even having a GED is a dealbreaker for some of these jobs, because they assume you're just there until you can find something better.
