    I imagine the job satisfaction would be good, if the pay low.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    Isn't being gay illegal in most of the US in the first place?
    This twenty-year-old boy was distinguished from childhood by strange qualities, a dreamer and an eccentric. A girl fell in love with him, and he went and sold her to a brothel...

    I have a question about those pre-assessment questionnaire things that you have to fill out if you apply for any job ever that could possibly involve working with customers. Do those things like...give you a score, or just a Pass/Fail. Like, should I be totally exaggerating, or is it okay to admit that I sometimes got Cs on my report cards?

    Employers assume applicants lie or exaggerate the truth on those things anyway. They're a crock of .

    After some googling most of what I've read suggests that managers receive a "good/okay/bad" sort of score, and can potentially get fired for hiring applicants that don't do so well, but that it's still best to answer honestly because that tends to work out best.

    But I think I will exaggerate a bit more from now on, because in all of the months I've been sending in applications and speaking to people inside the store, I haven't been called in for a single job interview. The only interviews I've had are from some creepy guy that left an ad in the paper about Web Design, and when the new Olive Garden was interviewing literally ever single person that showed up at their doors with a job application. Oh god there were so many people there that day.

    Yes and no. Mostly what they do is determine whether a person is going to obey the rules and whether they're going to be obstinate with customers. The best thing to do when taking them is think like the employer - they know no one is perfect, but some people are more perfect than others. Don't ever say it's okay to steal, EVER, but you can probably admit to some bad grades. Don't ever say you cheated on an exam. Always say you'd rat someone out for breaking policy, etc.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I personally believe any hiring process that involves answering a questionnaire is a waste of your time at worse and dubious at best.

    This is very related

    I'm currently a soldier. I got this job by spending the year after high school drinking and working a low paying stock clerk job instead of drinking and going to college. Eventually I realized I had to actually do something with my life, but having no marketable job skills besides knowing how to operate an order gun, excelling at fixing the cardboard baler, and memorizing the entire caned vegetable aisle, I decided to stop smoking marijuana long enough to pass a military entrance drug screening.

    Ironically, now all of my friends are struggling to pay off their student loans, while I have had the government pay me to become qualified to work in aircraft maintenance, and live quite well fixing Apache Longbows in TN.

    Go low expectations.

    How much of the military selection process can you publicly admit? I'd like to know how you went from a high school grad to being trained to repair helicopters.
