I just finished filling out the most long winded and tedious job application and questionnaire I've ever seen in my life. The test had a time limit of 40 minutes, I had about 12 left by the end of it. It was all so generically worded and cold that you couldn't even guess at what possible scenario any of this could come up in in real life. I just picked.

I hated those mental tests.

Stealing pencils would you have her
Beheaded?
Uh, yes?

These were more like:

If you had limited resources to be dispersed between you and your fellow employees which of the following would blah blah blah who gives a fuck?

A. I would assure I had allocated enough resources to complete my assigned task.

B. I would let all my fellow employees obtain the resources they require and take what was left afterward.

C. Who comes up with these shitty fucking questions and why are they worded like something aliens in an old B movie might say?

I think the actual question they are really asking is, can you sit quietly while we mismanage you, withhold the support you need to complete our mission and shoulder the blame?
Uh, yes? (sic: no!)

When I was a kid I remember taking those tests. I never passed them.

If Bob is smoking crack on the job would you
A) smoke crack with Bob
B) turn him in to a supervisor
C) stay away from Bob.

Fuck it bob.. let's party

Never got a job where this test is involved.
I assumed they were looking for honesty.
I was always honest.

Either I'm a monster or honesty is not what they are looking for.

I just read the answers and picked the ones I figured they would most want to hear. Nothing in any of those questions pertain to the job I applied for in any way, shape, or form. I should know, I did that sort of work for nearly a decade.

I figured the questions would have something related to the job, sort of like in the video I had to watch before hand. Nope, just generic BS.

They can train anyone they hire; they were testing if you are a "team player" and pliable; i.e. not independent or troublemaker

Just came back from wally world. Ok that's no big deal I know, but I saw something that I have not seen any place else or on wally weird videos.

I went to the restroom and saw a candy dish on the way in. On the way out I could see a candy dish in the front of the ladies room as well, neither of the rooms have entry doors. Privacy is provided
by a sharp right turn that blocks the vision of passers by.

Who eats bathroom candy?


One thing that makes a statement is that the ladies dish was still half full whereas
the men's room dish had only one piece left in it.:shock:

It's becoming the norm to have bullshit questions and require cover letters to get into a job now. And forget handing out physical resumes. Most people will say go online to apply.
