Interviews.....

So I had an interview with....(sigh) walmart.

Don't get me wrong... I would love a job, I just.... is it evil to say I really didn't want to work for walmart again, and now that I've admitted it out loud at least more than once, I probably won't get the job. It's not so much walmart, or the job (cashier in L&G) it's.... I dunno, I guess it's that I've done walmart and I know that it's not something that easily leads to bigger and better ya know? Then again most jobs that I've had don't exactly lead to that so.....

Anyway on with the complaining... yes complaining.... I feel that my blog has become a place for me to vent my feelings, whether good or bad.

I knew some of the people going in, I mean hello I worked at that store half a year and shopped there besides, yeah I should know some of the people. So that was ok, kinda nice actually. But I hate stupid interviews.

The questions are supposedly designed to find out how good you are at teamwork, multi-tasking, handling responsibility... stuff like that. Questions like give me a time when you were working with a team, what was hard about it, what did/could you do to make it better, what did you learn from it all?

I mean, the heck?!?! Could we make this any harder? Not to mention, anyone can make up a story to paint themselves in a good light, and you wouldn't know that they are actually a really bad person to have working for you until they are causing you problems, or someone could stammer all over their answer and sound incompetent and in truth they are dedicated employees.

Ok I get that they have to try and weed people out some how, but I seriously hate those type of questions.

Don't know if I got the job. Who cares that I worked for Walmart for more than a year, who cares that I've done this exact type of job for around 5 years. It all depends on if the stupid computer thinks that I answered the questions well enough to go ahead and hire me.

*sigh* why couldn't I have heard from the library. I really want that job. I mean really really really want that job. But it's probably already filled.

Oh well... such is the life.


And again don't get me wrong, if walmart wants to hire me, I'm all for it.... just feeling anxiety over it all.
