And I guess they all ask something like "Why do you want to work for us?" and the correct answer is "Because stacking shelves was my childhood dream" rather than "Because I need money to live"

For that one I can usually spin something about how I like the work, which isn't entirely false, I like the practical aspect to it and I like organizing things, and the people on the floor are usually good sorts.

When I did a job in one of the co-op's distribution warehouses, the guy who was going to escort me wouldn't do so unless I could give him the safety data sheets for the cleaning stuff in my toolbag. So that night I sent him the PDFs of every possible, orderable chemical cleaner/lubricant's datasheet that we use, and in every language they were available in

Those screening tests are some weird bullshit. The one for Pets at Home asks you what sort of animal you'd be, probably like "I'd be a Dog- loyal and enthusiastic!" instead of " Cat- I gently caress up and then pretend I meant to do that".

OwlFancier posted:I've applied to a fair few retail outlets and they all use some kind of personality screening and "here's some situations, how would you react" automated test, but I've never done one that was that nakedly "how much do you love capitalism? 1. yes 2. extremely" You have to wonder if somebody in the corporate HR chain knows this and instead it's actually a meta-test to show that you are smart enough to figure out what you think they think the right answer should be and that you're compliant enough to give that answer.

I think if so they're encouraging a dangerous degree of intelligence in their workforce, because "do you do as your boss tells you yes/no" seems like a much more reliable way to get people suited for the job.

It's totally possible to cook a bunch of varied hot meals for way less than a quid per serving, even if you don't know how to forage or steal. It's also (a)loving miserable, and (b)not much bloody good if your rent, bills, clothing &c add up to more than your loving income

Also that's still £4.2k a year even if your family eats clearance chinese every meal forever, on top of rent, electricity/water/etc, clothing, transport, and I'm not even factoring in vacations and entertainment because as we all know the lazy poor don't deserve distractions from their miserable existenceWhatEvil posted:Olly Thorn of Philosophy Tube is currently doing a reading of the full works of Shakespeare for the Samaritans on Twitch: Wow.
