Well, I've got alot of promises from jobs, but so far no one has locked into a final interview yet. It seems this snow has put everyone in the frame of mind that it's more important to just get through the day, rather than bother with interviews and such. I have four jobs all pending an interview and every one of them has told me that they will call me. I've called every one back, and they tell me someone will call. I've even gone in person to get the ball rolling, covered in snow, and they tell me.... we need to have a meeting about this.... we'll call you. I really need an uzi or a sawed off shot gun to make my point understood, I think. I've had interviews that promised second interviews and those are the ones I am most hopeful for. Right now waiting tables is the most important job to get because it will give me instant cash from tips. I have a head hunter looking for jobs that promises to land me a $28,000 a year job within two weeks if I'm good at interviews. We even practiced some interviews. I swear, I have lost total respect for the corporate world. No one ever asks straight interview questions like, " what would you do if this common situation happened in the job you're applying for?" or "what do you expect out of this job?" ... or "what are your career goals?" nope. they would rather try to build a psychological profile from statistics and corporate passed along methods in determining what kind of worker you will be. Questions like what type of animal would you be or what would your friends say are your major faults, are questions that elicit learned responses. They don't give you time to sit and think of a real answer. What they want is for you to spout the answers they expect to hear straight off the end of your toungue. A long considerate pause of contemplation makes you tagged as "an idiot." I do well in interviews as a whole, but I still think corporate psychological tracking and tagging is just plain stupid. If people answered these questions honestly then maybe it might give them data that they could use. If they asked me what my friends thought my major flaws were, I should say that's personal information and it's none of your damn business. Of course that would be telling the truth and that would be the real data they were looking for. Instead, I'd probably laugh and say something like, "they'd say I can't dance." I'd get a chuckle from them which lightens the mood and creates the likable atmosphere I wanted, and then I'd say something like, "I guess they might say that I'm too detailed oriented. I like to wrap every project up into a nice neat package and my friends can find that annoying sometimes." *smile* (sparkle from teeth)
