I just finished the Target Employee Questionaire and am astounded at the questions that the Huge companies ask nowadays. "IF you saw someone stealing, would you report them?" "Do you question loyalty in friends", "Is the color blue something you trust?" Ughhh! I just want a job so that I can buy my kids Christmas presents and go to Nicaragua in January to help really, super-poor kids. But no. I have to go through the indignity of a job application that asks about being convicted of anything or doing time, at the age of 54 to find out if I'm worthy of being a barista at Starbucks.
I did not get accepted at Starbucks. They said they'd call on Halloween day and they didn't. I think because I told them it was a busy day at my house that day, the 2nd interviewer must've given me a bad report. I hate it when I have to tell the truth. If they'd only known what I could potentially offer the drive- through, they would've snatched me up in a second.The Starbucks application took 2 hours out of my life, the interviews took another 2 and they didn't even call me to say "you are too old to work here." As a matter of fact, both interviewers, who were under 25 (i'd bet my life) were late for interviews, asked exactly the same questions off a clipboard and bordered on rude. I could teach them a thing or two about HR but...
What did they want? A future CEO? Or someone who follows rules accordingly?
Onwards - I just finished filling out a Target application and although I don't look great in red shirt and khaki pants, I shall rally if they need me. Kids need Christmas ...
