General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

actually, i was still in high school

 

[Chris]

Hire

 

[Jimmy King]

I went to orientations for a few of them but never got a call back. Two of them that I went to orientations for are both out of business now

 

[Chris]

one of my first jobs interviews out of school was for this local cell phone company and they told me to wear my "best suit" and to bring 3 copies of my resume.

a red flag for me is of it's a scheduled interview and they don't have my resume printed out already. I bring it just in case but that's their job man

I applied at a Radio Shack back in like 2006 and went to this hiring event they did and they gave us all these tests to take and i passed it but then they found out they gave me the manager test on accident so they had me retake the sales person test and then i never got a call back so i guess maybe i failed it

I’ve interviewed people coming in with a stained shirt that was wrinkled and cut off jeans

Target told me they were hiring me after my interview and then later I went to the orientation

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I wonder how many of these I do remember

saw this at walmart quite a bit. people would be like, "im here for an interview" and be in pajama pants and a hoody. next wee or so i'd see them working on the floor

 

[Jimmy King]

I’m pretty sure I’m the only one left from that group at that orientation

Yeah I always got their shit printed out before hand that’s bush league

 

[Chris]

It's really annoying actually having a tiny say in hiring here and seeing people make the same hiring mistakes they acknowledge exists like picking based on appearances more than anything, like they expect every candidate to work them before the interview starts and still just get worked

 

[Jimmy King]

I remember the day before my interview I went to the store and asked the lady at guest service where I go for interviews, and then I find out she’s the one interviewing me the next day lol

 

[Chris]

But lately my boss has just been poaching people from other departments instead of outside hiring anyway, he's about to do that again bc my wrestling friend coworker I've talked about before left lol
