So I forgot to update the blog yesterday, partially because I was out most of the day and partially because I wasn't sure what to post. Anyway, I was applying for a few jobs online and one restaurant had me fill out the application and then answer a few questions about myself. Now this is a pretty nice restaurant that I am applying for and personally was not expecting the kinds of things I would have to answer. First it started off with a 10 min timed logic test dealing with patterns of numbers, word problems, definitions etc. Kind of weird but after that it got even stranger. Now the screen was telling me to answer the following questions with Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree. The first 2 pages were pretty normal stuff and then page 3 had some weird questions. "When you look around, do you have little to no hope for mankind?" "Is it acceptable to laugh at other co workers failures?" There were a lot more but I cannot remember them all right now.
I am considering going back to how I originally did my blog posts with the inspirational speeches and stuff since I miss doing those. I hope you all will like them! Also random song for today that I came across.
Try and go back and get a copy of that application and snap a pic. I know a lot of places ask some weird stuff and crazy personal stuff
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell kind of questions are those?
ReplyDeletelove love love. Noisestorm is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI remember when you could apply for a job without having your credit history checked and a full mental health evaluation....
ReplyDeletewe all get busy, and I've filled out hundreds of those "personality" forms. They are silly if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteI think most personality questions are just testing your abilities to bullshit.
ReplyDeleteThose personality forms are just there to see if one will actually sit and do the damn things..haha
ReplyDelete"Is it acceptable to laugh at other co workers failures?" Always!
ReplyDeleteI don't like those questions.
ReplyDeleteI personally would put, "Strongly Agree" for both of them.
ReplyDeleteTks for the visit...
ReplyDeletexoxo
Great post.
ReplyDeletelol i hate applications
ReplyDeleteme too R.gers
ReplyDeletei would agrre to them both fully
maybe im just anitsocial
I hate those crazy tests on those applications. ""Is it acceptable to laugh at other co workers failures?" This could be a trick question. At first, you would think,.."No I shouldn't mock and ridicule the pathetic losers I work with." On the other hand, maybe the restaurant doesn't want pathetic failures to work there...and wants to hire someone who will mercilessly ridicule them until they quit.
ReplyDeleteWeird application.
ReplyDeletethat's pretty involved or a restaurant
