Okay, I’m not working. Blah. I hate it. The length of a minute is directly proportional to the amount of Jerry Springer you watch during that minute. I hate it.
I’m a consultant (professional writer, medical and technical) so this occasionally happens to me and is no big deal. I’m just trying to keep myself busy during the search for my next project. I make jewelry, I knit, I work out, I take in freelance work.
I want to get back to work as soon as possible, not being cut out for being bored out of my skull. Who is, right? However, I’m dismayed that a phone screen I scheduled for today is reliant on my finishing a ridiculously LONG and pointless personality test and sending my results to the interviewer.
I figure this process is to screen out morons. When you’re asked by your employer (actual example) whether you “know how to put every minute of your
time to good purpose” if you’re stupid enough to answer “No, I really don’t use my time wisely” thne you don’t deserve a job.
The first of four parts of this test has 72 inane questions, the answers to which are so borlingly obvious that I want to stick a fork in my eye. Do I really want a job this badly?
What did you say was on Tyra?
