That's right! I'm still very much alive, if need be I can log onto teamspeak for like 5 seconds to confirm that I'm still alive and haven't gone anywhere. But gaming for the time being is a no go. Jobs where I live are being dumb. :((Just graduated from HS this past June)For instance, I applied to Wal-Mart 3 weeks ago, and went down every single day up until yesterday, asking about when I can hear if whether or not I could be hired. Welp, 2 days ago.... I found out that management in personnel wouldn't hire me because my application wasn't "competitive enough". Meaning, they have you take an assessment and give you a bunch of hypothetical situations and give you a list of options to choose from for how you should/could/would react to the situation. Apparently, I didn't answer them as well as I could have, even though I tried to answer them in the most humanitarian way I could. 1. Help co-workers if they were unfamiliar with something. 2. If a customer was being profane, and being a nuisance, I'd just respond with "I'm sorry sir(or ma'am), I'm trying the best I can. If you want though, you can fill out a complaint form." So anyway, this "competitiveness" doesn't really make much sense to me, because I don't really understand how anyone could be more competitive than I have been since I applied. I don't call down to them to see what is going on with my application, I go down personally to talk to the management... Every day.... I've bugged em and bugged em about it.... I've even talked to the assistant manager of this particular branch to see if he could assist me, informing him how determined, and motivated I am to get the job. Told them I'm trustworthy, reliable, and hardworking.It would make more sense if they just didn't have any positions available, or if they weren't hiring, but I get email's every day, saying that this particular Wal-Mart branch is hiring, I have 2 friends who work there. 2 people just quit the other day. I was buying some food up there the other day and there were these 2 guys coming out with like a 12 foot step ladder, and they were both too scared to climb it to do their job..... On top of the fact that... No disrespect, but more of a realization, I feel like my IQ and working ability and determination... trumps like 80% or more of the workers that they have there...So clearly, nowadays, the only way you get a job, is based off the algorithms that these jobs have set up in the application, not based on how hard you try to show them how much you want the job.... And I also mentioned to them my house is being foreclosed at the same time of all of this, and clearly they don't have too much sympathy because I still don't have the job!!! HA!. Online application algorithms are so dumb....Anyway.... But yeah, that Wal-Mart application is just one of the many instances I've been running into out where I live for filling out applications.... And yep... I'm still alive.
Hi Rangers,
In life sometimes we just have to suck it up and move on. I've had some bad applications myself, where it feels that you didn't do something wrong.
Most likely they didn't want to give you the truth, which actually doesn't matter, as it won't change anything about you being able to work there. Just move on, there are a lot of companies that will take young people.Btw, not every company is the same. You just had a bad experience but that doesn't mean it will happen again with a different company.Good luck!
