At hubby's job one of the managers of another store found a new gig so he's leaving, so an assistant manager has been promoted and now hubby is responsible for interviewing candidates to fill the now vacant Asst. manager spot. So let the fun begin...
So one of the candidates who've been randomly selected by HR is a young woman who seems to have a fair amount of experience in sales- he downloads the resume and looks it over "hmmm" he thinks to himself as he notices this woman has had 5 jobs in the last 5 years, each one she's been at for no more than 8 months... *side eye*... so he says to himself "well I'm going to call her in, let's see what the story is-do a little pre-interview". He gives her call...she seems "normal" (whatever that is) and then he asks her "what is your goal- career wise?" To which she responds- "well I hope to become a store manager in about 6 months." He gives the *side eye* to her response and then he asks her about her experience, "I see that most of your jobs have been only for 8 months or so, what's the situation with that?" To which she replies "well, I felt they weren't promoting me to manager fast enough so I decided to leave." Immediately hubby says to her, " Well I doubt if you will get promoted here in 6 months, perhaps a year but that would be a best case scenario" She replies "ok, so 6 months is still possible then!"... the bus on this tour ride thru job-ville has now made a pitstop in stupidity... next stop... ridiculous!
At this point he knows that this is NOT going to work- so he says "before I decide if we need to have you in for an interview, a car is required for this position because you will be driving to various locations, do you have a valid license and a car?" She says "well I have a license but I don't have a car, but my grandmother can drive me." Eyes wide open, mouth ajar, hubby pauses for a second and then says "well I can't rely on that, since you will also need to do site surveys as early as 8am" he hears her mumble "hmmm no granny can't do that" .. he says "What?" she goes on about how her grandma doesn't get up that early and then asks can she borrow the car of the manager of the stores tot get to these site surveys! Hubby, again stunned- perhaps its a full moon he thinks- and he kindly informs her that this will not work and thank you for applying... WTF?! Seriously? Can you borrow your supervisors car ??? how the hell you figure that will work fool!?
So hubby decides to go on to the next one...and realizes there is indeed a full moon...
He downloads the res - filename: "TMoneysRez.doc"... Jesus be a commonsense pill he thinks... So he decides to call and not make an assumption based on the name of the resume. He looks at the resume and the candidate seems to have a fair amount of experience, the position would definitely prove to have room for growth for him... So he calls- the conversation gets off to a nice start- but then a series of small red flags go up when hubby notices throughout the conversation there are a plethoras of "Yeps, yeahs, ain'ts, dat, dems and dis" and then a giant red flag goes up when he asks him about his job experience and why he left his last job- "me and the supervisor didn't get along, he was a prick, and he was jealous cuz I could do his job better"...
Really "TMoney"? I mean do you know ANYTHING about interviewing?
So hubby just says "ok"- then he decides this "ain't" gonna work either so let me ask the car and license question- "Do you have a valid drivers license and a car, as you will be working between 3 stores" Tony says " well..Jeah (yes I said JEAH), I got a license but I ain't got a car cuz I had to turn in my tags" hubby starts to say "well..." then Tony interjects- but I can take the bus from Nanuet to Scarsdale and to Connecticut and stuff like that to get to work...
oh Tony how nice you sure are showing dedication aren't you...b/c somebody's going to make an exception to the rule with the car requirement when you have to go through 2 counties and into another state on the bus... let's not get crazy...
With all these people out of work, you'd think that folks would brush up on their interviewing skills at least! smh
