Has anyone else noticed that they are making less and less sense?
So today I decided that it was time to get a part time job. SO. I went down to a local establishment that I am pretty highly qualified to work at if i do say so, and proceeded to inquire about a job.
The chick behind the front desk hands me an application and says, "here, fill this out."
so i grab a pen while im standing there, and go to town.
Name: Frederick Hoffstaetter
Adress: blahbliddy blah blah
and so on. the first part was pretty standard.
the next part wasnt too out of the ordinary, it asked for previous employers.
So now im standing at the counter for about five minutes while the chick behind it is looking at me like im a moron, because im taking a good amount of time counting backwards in my head over the last 8 years trying to come up with when (what month/year) I started and ended these jobs.
The next two parts on the application is where I started to question the logic behind whoever put this form together.
It asks me to list references. sure, fine okay. I list a few people that will vouch for me and lie through their teeth to make me sound like a halfway decent guy. In the next row it asks for their addresses.
Now, I just spent all this time filling out this application in front of this chick at the counter. Its too late for me to walk away now and return it later. Im commited. It may very well cost me the job if i just list fake info, but thats the price Im thinking I may have to pay. I mean really? Why the fuck should I have to remember their addresses so that you can know them? are you going to be sending them a review form about me? Why not just call them and ask over the phone, as I do in fact know their numbers. Oh wait, thats right, you didnt bother to ask for anyone's phone number.
I give the street addresses, but cant remember the house numbers.
So here I am thinking that this was the most bass ackwards part of the form, until that is, I stumble upon the education portion.
College you attended: WCSU. Years attended: 3. Did you graduate?: No. (now where the fuck is the box that asks me if im planning to? Now I just look like a dumbass) What did you study?: Journalism.
High School you attended: Danbury High. Years attended: 4. Did you graduate? yes. What did you study?: (I left this blank, as I could not decide which one would best reflect me as a strong worker, Science, Math, Social Studies, English or Autoshop.)
Then the next box just baffled me.
What Grammar School did you attend?:
I mean seriously? If I fucking graduated highschool and got into college, what possible need would one have to know this?
And so it went. the whole form just got more and more puzzling to me. more so due to the fact that it didnt ask for anything useful, not even my age.
All of this seemed pretty strange to me, so i thought i would share with you guys.
now wish me luck, cuzz i need a job!
