Lol

Well, Trumpity Trump, it just might turn legal.

Obviously designed by a vacuous looney with nothing but time on their hands.

Correct answers (so far as the employers are concerned) are "Fox News", "the Democrats", "a desk I can sleep under overnight", "being able to work for minimum wage". Submissions lacking those phrases are automatically rejected

People: You to learn how to say "f**k your stupid assed offer"

I applied to an add for a blast technician with training. Went back and forth w emails as the owner emailed saying they weren't looking for a secretary. I'm a woman. I explained it said trainee in the ad. I went in explained my knowledge. The owner asked if I thought I was on jeopardy. Sorry I read up on the type of work it was and products used. Was given a tour of the warehouse and then asked to lift a 50lb bag of media. Basically heavy grit sand. I did. Put it on my shoulder and asked what else? After a month the called me to come work. But apparently never asked any men to lift the bags or give them the grief. All ex-cons working via a 50/50 paid program from the state. But I got paid by the company. Horrible insurance too. But I wound up running my dept with basically only me on 5 machines through out the day. But my eye and hand skill made me quick. I quit when an injury wasn't taken seriously. Don't judge people. Some of us like working dirty hands on jobs.

Bring it on punks.... I'm the OG of rizz and I be Bussin'

Out of curiosity I googled "Sun Asian Kitchen" and the website it linked to popped up a message saying "Due to the shortage of staff ..." so maybe their rudeness ticked off too many potential applicants

Did you take a holiday after all that lol was exhausted just reading it 😂

Change the last sentence to "I am withdrawing my application." Nothing "unfortunate" about this at all. Quite the contrary.

I lost a job to the pandemic, at age 59, and applied to countless jobs with no luck. I realized my age was the reason, because ageism is rampant, even though I look and act much younger than I am. Hell, I got along great with classmates who were thirty years younger than me when I went back to college at 51. I even considered lying about my age with a “typo” on my application. Luckily, since I had gone back to college as an adult (bachelors and masters), I could’ve gotten away with it, at least until the face to face interview, based on my graduation years. Of course, if they asked my high school graduation year, for some reason, my cover would be blown. Then my husband and I started a business, and I no longer had a need to lie. Our business has turned out to be very successful and profitable—-very much into the black after the first year—-meaning any company that hired me would’ve gotten a diligent worker who would contribute to their profitability, so it’s their stupid and ageist loss, and my gain. However, having worked for a******s and been humiliated in interviews ourselves in the past, my husband and I run our company fairly, equitably, and ethically. We pay a generous wage, offer good benefits, give good bonuses at the end of the year, don’t overwork our employees, are very approachable, do not fly off the handle, and do our best to be good bosses whose company people want to work for, and help become more successful, until they retire. Why that way of doing business—-which is absolutely not hard or unprofitable to do—-isn’t taught in business schools everywhere, I don’t know.

Obviously a company that works on a first name basis.

More like the company you applied to six months ago and completely gave up on long ago.

I applied for a job in an office and i went along for a trial day so i could see how they worked i was supposed to be replacing someone who was leaving. While i was there they convinced the person who was leaving to stay. The next day i got a call from the agency and they informed me that they liked me but didnt have a job for me. Wasted an entire day spent money i didnt have on bus fare to go half way across the city where i live to an area i didnt know only to be told that.

Remember, one party is in favor of getting rid of child labor laws and putting kids back to work, instead of school.

This should read. "We went through the motions for legal compliance reasons, and you were never going to get the job. Sorry, not sorry for wasting your time. "

That actually kind of makes sense. I worked retail for a bit and I had to answer some dumb questions. My favorite was "Where is the vegan goat cheese?" It was not unreasonable I showed them except then they said, "No the one that comes from goats." Me: ????? "That's not vegan?" them: "Where is the cheese that comes from vegan goats?" I did not have a response to that one. EDIT: if anyone has a good response please tell me.

This has surely got to be a joke.

Brought a parent ,lol

Sounds like a low paying job in retail where you get treated like c**p and might get robbed. That's where the "challenging" part comes in.

Don't think I would like to work at an office where everyone is eating chili and drinking Pibb all the time. Sounds like it would smell of farts as soon as you walk ing the door.

not to mention how the stabbing silence of an empty (email) inbox can rapidly degrade ones soul

I've hear this a lot and what it really means is "No one wants to work for the crappy pay and conditions that I'm offering"

Does "dead inside due to years of corporate grind" count?

I've been there, when I was homeless, I started to get really bitter and saw everyone as "having a home"

Are you Roger, Demi, Michael or Alan Moore?

I was in my fifties interviewing for a sales position. Years of experience in sales.The twenty something HR screener asked me in person what my favorite animal was. Really? You can ask that with a straight face? They are usually looking for something like a tiger or a bear or a shark or something. I answered it truthfully as I do have a favorite animal. It's the magnificent platypus. Incredibly capable little survivor, a little bit of this, a little bit of that, hard to pigeon-hole and if you really p**s one off, it will sting you. The HR person looked stunned and had no idea how to react. Also, I didn't get the job but I did get to educate somebody on the virtues of the platypus :-D

I had a professor once who put one funny question in each exam, like which of four people was the best singer. It was supposed to relax the students and break the ice, but several people freaked out because they did not know the "right" answer.

None of your f***ing business!!

I’d hope this question doesn’t actually ‘count’ against the person and is just a sort of icebreaker in the application process. Y’know, start of with an ‘easy’ question of no importance to help candidates be more confident for the important questions?

Other: he clearly works at your HR Departement.

If you say cat and they hate cats, you're finished. Same if you say dog and they hate dogs. While not an illegal question, any employer should avoid such questions as it could easily turn into a discrimination issue.

Finnish unemployment services require you to apply to a certain number of places every month or they'll punish you by taking away some of your benefits. This means people are applying even to jobs they're not qualified to

Have fun trying to get in the door without an appointment, unless you enjoy being escorted out by security. Times change, people. I’m old enough to remember driving from place to place to ask for an application to fill out while I’m there, or to drop off my resume—-hell, I remember using the yellow pages to call places to see if they’re hiring (and sometimes I called right before they were going to put the want ad in the paper), and that was only around 2004 or 2005—-but those times are long gone. Everything’s remote now, until they actually decide they want to see you in person.
