WTF job interviews

[whiteACID]

Why do companies bother interviewing people if they are just going to hire someone that works internally for them? I interviewed for this job yesterday and I really really wanted it. They called me today and said they were really impressed with me but they gave the job to someone that already works there. And then they offered me some shit job that I'm way over-qualified for.

That's bad business practice.  The first decision to be made when hiring for a new position is whether to hire from the outside or promote from within.

Egg their building.

[DJ_Tet]

Sorry to hear that, I know you were really excited.

I'm not sure why a company would act that way, seems logical and cost-effective to make sure there is no one in-house who can fill the position, and then try and find someone outside the company.  Unless their hiring manager was new and just wanted to use you for experience, I'm not sure what they gained.  Sounds like they wasted their and your time, sucks girl.

It's in a high rise and their office is on the 33rd floor.

Not always.  Our company requires a search outside for any position.

Along with receiving applications from current employees?  Or do they just hire from the outside by default?

I've got some ganja and guitar hero.

And now you have learned that school is a sham

Better luck next time!

I knew i should have majored in something besides history, i should have done organizational leadership or business administration

aren't you a manager? are you guys hiring?

[DJ_Tet]

uhh, if you are hiring, talk to me first...

I want to relocate to Seattle and have a lot of computer related experience

You could still get a MBA with a History degree.  There are lots of part time MBA programs so you can continue working while going to school.  Sorry to hear that you got screwed over.  Did they tell you "tits or GTFO"?

I spoke to LordMaji today and told him my plan.

I want to get a mcjob on the side of my real job.  I hold a managers position, have worked here for 2 and half years and I have an associates.  I'll be a fucking shoe in.  

Then I will work.  I'll smoke before work since I can't smoke before my real job.  Go there, chill out, cook burgers.  A customer talks shit; i talk shit back.  I'm not worried about losing my job.  It's just extra money.  i don't need it.

then one day when i smart off too much, i get fired and pull a Scarface from Half Baked.  So I take a few weeks off.  Then I start over again at the next mcjob.  

WHOO

Billy: We don't auto-promote, but we just look at who's available and who we think could handle it.  If there's not a good candidate, then we look outside the organization.  I was just taught that from the classes they made me take.

[DJ_Tet]

The best McJob, if you have older, reliable wheels used to be Pizza Hut delivery.  Easy as fuck job, $7 an hour, 50 cents a delivery, and tips.  Now that gas is 3x what it used to be though, I imagine tips went way down while operating costs went way up.  I don't think I'd recommend the job anymore, but it was a fun as hell McJob for a few years.  You meet interesting people at those types of jobs too.

The best McJob is late night webcam star.

Hit me up @ twinklestars.net

You laugh but T could pull in some decent bucks with the right setup, especially if she's willing to explore some of the darker kinks out there.

I delivered pizzas for them for about a year and a half.  I got paid 8 dollars an hour and 90 cents per delivery though.  Whoo!  However, I was actually living off of this money when I did the job so it wasn't as enjoyable.

The best McJob is being a caretaker, Mupepe, will you please come and help take care of me? I promise to pay you real good and give you plenty of cookies.

Most people probably tip less now for Pizza Hut because they charge for delivery now.  It really sucks for the drivers because people think that the delivery fee goes to the drivers but it doesn't.

Yeah I actually made $9 an hour and $1 a trip too but I didn't want to make anyone feel bad cause I got that through lots of experience (and getting the manager high.)

The best was when I was getting free deliveries to take out.  Like the last two orders of the night, they would make them off the tab, and give them to me.  That way, I got $35 for the order instead of just a couple of bucks out of tip.  That really skews your end of the night numbers

I'd shoot her a couple bucks to watch once.  The key is to get repeat customers though, that's why she should get into a kink.  Like, bringing bears in and taunting them for being dirty, is that a kink you'd be into?

I'd wait til people ordered with those "Free Medium Pizza" coupons and if they didn't have it, I'd make them pay like 10 dollars for it and then I'd just grab one from the stack of coupons in the back of the store and pocket the money they gave me.  

I did that with all coupons.  I would tell them to pay the difference if they didn't have the coupon.  lolz

[bluemax]

We have a lot of internal promotion where I work right now (college campus). It seems stupid and shitty, because they usually promote people who weren't qualified for their previous position for a more important position. It seems like they do it because its quicker/easier and less of a mess transitionally.

Hehe I did that too when I was able to take my own orders.  Once a driver was taking out my rigged up order and I had to throw a fit to get him to give it back to me lol.  I also had customers who would give me huge tips, and I would bring them free drinks and wings and whatnot.  Be nice to your pizza delivery guy if you're a regular, we know where you live and what you like.

I had a job interview over dinner last night, we'll see how it went tomorrow.

[Phoenix Dark]

I applied at Dominos like a month ago and they haven't contacted me. OH WELL

I'll try a videostore next

Don't you run the risk of the customers saying that they don't want the order anymore?

[DJ_Tet]

Re-reading that, that's not the same thing I did.  I would try and take the phone order, throw phony coupons on the order, quote them the regular price over the phone, print the ticket as the couponed order, and deliver the order.  There I would quote them the regular price, never showing them the couponed ticket.  I would then pocket the difference, usually $4/5 an order.  It adds up if you can do that several times in a shift.

If they did, I would take the pizza, find a random person and say "Hey, want this pizza for 5 bucks?"

I just ate like 20 oreos

you and i were supposed to be on a diet

[whiteACID]

i am, it's comfort food

[whiteACID]

so, should i take this job they offer me and hope to move up in the company? or should i just wait it out, at this point i really need a job to pay bills

[Saint Cornelius]

I had to go through dealing with other people interviewing for my position here before I got hired on permanently; it was fucking a nervewracking, because I kept thinking "if I'm doing my job well, why are they interviewing other people?". Then once I got the job, I felt bad for all the redWOODs that applied.

But now I don't give a fuck, I got the job, I've been promoted, I'm trying to switch to a new position, clap fiesta clap.

[demi]

Um, then you take what you get and look for better stuff in the meanwhile

Pretty much. Gotta do what you gotta do (ie pay bills)

I hope it works out for you

[Saint Cornelius]

So you moved to The City of Wind without a job? Ahhh, the mystery of the name change is solved, seems so.

[recursivelyenumerable]

so, should i take this job they offer me and hope to move up in the company?

seems to work.  I got a job at this company that basically consisted of watching images go by and flagging any fucked up ones, and six months later I'm programming their billing system

I have a degree and I work the night shift as a dispatcher for just a little over minimum wage.

At least I have a social life...

Wai... no I don’t.

At least I have a bottle of vodka...

Wai...t... no I don't.

 

I majored in English, and now I own a horse.  Work on your interview skills.
