I've been a little uninspired. This quest for a job is drainning my energy and my brain. To be interviewed by a girl younger and less wise (I'll leave it at that for now) than me is weird. How can anyone find a job like this? Let me tell you about my experience..
So I had an interview in this firm that work for call centers. I applied for a managing position 'cause I belive I'm old enough and wise in the ways of the world, at least enough to manage a bunch of kids taking phone calls.
I got to the interview bright and early and it turned out I had to wait half an hour. After the wait, I was taken with several other applicants to a room where we were to take a computer test to measure intelligence and personality. I guess if my family had seen me out there they would've died, but seriously, what was I to do? It all went down like this:
First of all computers hate me, so mine, at the first chance it got kicked me out of the system. And when I got back in the damn thing had erased two of the tests I was supposed to take. I looked around, and nobody was there so I went on with the remaining two. Suddenly the lady next to me gaspped and told me the same thing had happened to her, but obviously she's not people-phobic because she immediately went to find help. Turned out the womand who "helped" her just said, "Oh don't worry, skip that test and just go on to the others".
Myself, I was thinking why on earth they would tell us to do a test if it was not important sooo, I just had to fin a way to get my lost tests back. But first on with the one I was answering. I never get nervous answering those kind of tests because nobody is going to read every single answer on it. The computer will only tell you if you have a personality fit for the job or not. So I went on. I'm not going to bore the reader with al the stupid questions they put on those things, but they tell you to answer truthfully and since I didn't even care that much about that job I told the whole truth. Chances are somebody up in middle management checking the tests will think "how did we let this psycho into the building". And the live interview was no better. I was prepared and ready and answer all the questions without hesitation and the girl goes "Well... most people have trouble answering questions that fast" I just smiled and thought "weeell.. most people don't have to prepare one week in advance to face the horde of dumbasses asking them questions". I wonder what they'll think when they find out that I bypassed the system to get my two lost tests back.
Anyway, I am totally frustrated. I'm never going to find a job the way thingsDumb and happy are going. I'm not a college graduate. I'm overqualified for entry levels and not qualified enough for management. Besides, who am I kidding? I still hate people, or at least most people. I'm too smart for regular small talk with superficial people. I just can't suffer it. And yes, I know that I sound obnoxious, but it is the truth. Sometimes I seriously think that I would rather be a happy dumbass like everybody around me instead of a depressed smarty with a slightly higher that average IQ.
