So in the last 36 hours I've been turned down for one and a half jobs. Why the half? Oh, because my contact at that company may be able to smooth over my interview, as the HR person misinterpreted my answers. Regarding HR people, except my buddy Shane, the rest should all burn in hell with a 4 yr old asking 'Why is that?' on a continuous loop while some form of continuous Prodigy-wannabe band plays mixed in with The Carpenters. I swear on all that I know they do nothing to help people get into a company, merely sit there playing wack-a-candidate with a giant binder of resumes off of careerbuilder. In other words, they suck.
The misinterpretation? The guy asked me what I hated to do. I said cold-calling, I hate the phone. He took it as I hate the phone.....listen to the whole answer dipwad! Better yet, I "don't handle stress well". The stress of a phone interview? Bitch, please. I've been out of work for 13 months you don't think I can handle your mundane questions? Get bent. Don't hire me, but don't piss on my head and tell me it's raining, either. If I don't fit, I can live with that, but not that crap.
Oh, but lucky me I am supposed to have an interview on Friday with a cell phone company. Just trying to get my foot in the door somewhere and get a paycheck. My mood wouldn't be so bad if the unemployment office didn't just jack me around. They apparently have made a clerical error, and surprise surprise, it wasn't in my favor. Yet when I asked this same question to a person last week, I was told everything was all set and that this situation wouldn't happen...FAIL. Can I get her job? She's clearly incompetent. Oh, bother.
I could tell you about all the drama I've been getting phone calls lately, by why bore you with the meandering details of why I ought to open up my own call-in show, call it something ethical like 'Eat the damn gun already' or maybe something easier on the ears, like, 'The DUHHHHH Show'. Who knows, I just may be on to something.
But I will not leave you, dear reader on the end of a bad blog. Nay, nay. Not today. I got my phone replaced, after the guys at Sprint were kind enough to check it out and realize that the 'contact points' were somehow dislodged so I wasn't getting the full capacity of my phone. No longer, I'm wired now!
Happy Tuesday (or as I like to say, Whoop-di-damn-doo!)
