I once had to drive 4 hours to do a satelite interview with 6 other people. It was a cluster fuck but i did pretty good. People were interrupting each other and i could never tell who was talking. Then they offered me less than half the advertised pay to take the job on the spot. Then i left.

i just love those tests they do to basically filter out the most stupid applicants.

best one i've heard so far was: what is 3 percent of 100€

WTF :lol: are you serious? makes you wanna stand up and walk away.

I am getting married in six days. Nervous AF. not about the wedding but about the marriage. no doubts about the man but damn there's no exit strategy ya know ? this is it.

I have a confession I have not watched a single Juve match in full since the loss to Bayern. I don't know why but that match cut so deep.

Chilling in a hotel until Monday. Getting more test done over the weekend.

And besides my kidney issues, I think I may actually be getting sick.

You got this. If you have no doubts about the man, then you two can make it through anything.

Congrats Sally.

Tell me, what do you want to hear, on your end? What are your thoughts.

Many of the interviews that I had were poor, but then again, for some I wouldn't even blame myself. I were poor sometimes, yes, due to inexperience and due to a stage fright.

Still, I'll say one thing. I bet my ass that companies lose a lot of quality people due to the way they do their job. No, I'm not even talking about myself, eventhough I think I'd offer at least 1% more than the average person working for the company. Even if someone is scared doesn't mean they'd do a poor job, especially if it's a back door job, but they still bash people over nothing. To me it seems like they have an idea of Jung and his principals of psychology, so they all end up chasing "sharks", even for a stupid job, which seems pretty retarded imo. Emotional intelligence is always ignored for some reason and I can't understand why.



Makes sense.

Still, I don't regret going there, it was probably my anger saying that. I did learn a lot, or at least I think I did. But better experience was learning about people in general and some of the habits. But at this point when I don't have a job with my degree I just wish I didn't rip my parents wallet for it. They don't even mention it, but it crosses my mind and it kinda sucks.



What's worrying is that this company looks very 'decent' and some of the best, dare I say. They are pretty much the only ones that pay extra for the night shifts, they pay for a cab to go home with, no extra hours, and wages are like 2-3 higher than an average job. Now, you can imagine the other companies we have here. Extra hours not being paid at all, night shifts is like a regular one, wages are enough to buy food and survive.
This!!!

I've been through fair share of interviews and I still hate them, it's all about lying and telling what they want to hear. Last time I had 3 tests, driving test (even though I have a license and came to an interview by my own car) and 3 interviews and in the end I was so tired of repeating myself at interviews. In the end I didn't get the job, for them it was unusual that a male person want to work in HR department, and also I think they didn't like the fact I said I want to pass bar exam (probably they thought I would leave company after that) and all I showed is ambition to improve myself even further.

Right now I'm stuck at protein shop, working as a salesman, pay is fine, I don't have too much work to do, but I'm sick of it, I feel like I'm stagnating and I'm almost 31 years old, so it sucks.

I don't know why I wrote all of this, but I feel some kind of burden on my back and just wanted to share with someone.

I feel your pain bro. I feel it.

It all became a silly a thing, especially in Balkan, where you see at least 90% fake job adds since every position is pretty much filled before we all applied, but they are respecting the 'law' and have to do their part of the job. I also find it stressful when I see some certain people working. Not because I can't find a job, but because I know I'd do it better simlpy because they don't give a fuck about it. They came there with a connection and they will always find a job like that which is kinda sad.

As for your job -- I know what you mean. I worked for like 8-9 months in a retail and it took me like 6 months to understand the job and figure out that further on it felt like, not stagnating, but regressing. It was one of the reasons why I left the job, one of the soft reasons. Being stuck in a retail is hell, especially considering how being a shop manager (being promoted) is not even worth it. It can provide useful only if you're B2B sales, otherwise it's all blank.

Yeah it seems like everywhere in Balkan is the same, what pisses me the most is idiots I see getting jobs at good positions and acting smart and mighty while I wouldn't even let them clean the streets, but that's the system we live in.

As for the current job, I love weightlifting, I was always into supplements but it's not something I wanna do for the rest of my life, I know I can do better, I want something more challenging at the intellectual level, and as you said why did I even bother studying, I could do this without studying. And I won't even mention working hours where I'm actually lucky and my only day off is Sunday with 7 days of vacation per year :D

Dude, that's a prison! :D

On a positive note -- weather is amazing. I'll have a quick lunch and off to the river for a drink. But there's a freakin' marathon and I assume I'll crash with the traffic.
