I thought it was You Can Call Me Al Davis. I figured Paul Simon was a Raiders fan.

Does anyone ever actually get hired applying to places online?

by **The Dude** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 20:32:48

what kind of job you talknig about? every "real" job I've had I got by applying online

by **The Nightman Cometh** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 20:35:33

Yeah I mean like lcd jobs. Like at petsmart or shoprite.

They make you do those lame character assessment tests right? You can Google the answers online. Stuff is so easy, the answers are always in the extreme like "Always yes" or "Always no". Copied the answers from a random forum I found on Google and was hired on the spot at Staples a few years ago.

I guess I know slot of places do that. I need a job, but I don't feel like going to places to apply so i want to do it on the computer but idk if that reduces the chance of you getting hired.

they probably want to see if you can get out of the house. you're going to have to interview anyway

yea but I figure since this is the worst time of the year to find a job I'm going to have to go with the carpet bomb strategy and physically going to all these places just to apply sounds exhausting.

i really want people i know to stop spelling 'through' as 'threw'. i want to correct them without looking like a douche but i don't think that's possible

just started getting excited yesterday

Nightman, I got my first real-ish job doing that. It sucked. But basically I got the job because somebody who worked there knew me. Later on I saw the system where the processed applications--they were getting hundreds every day and they weren't even hiring.

FWIW, when I worked at Best Buy, managers absolutely hated it when people would come in everyday looking for jobs insisting to talk with a manager when they've got other things to do. If they'd talk to them at all, they'd basically just tell them to fill out the application online and that was that. But if you're going to go that route of going in, at least go in when the place isn't busy, like a weekday morning when they have time and aren't pissed off yet. Definitely not anytime on a weekend, that's a good way to lose points. Oh, and just because it's a crappy retail job or whatever, still dress up.

On a day like today, I'm extra excited for that first fall day when it smells like football.

just watched the end of the battle of the border slow pitch softball game between usa and canada. usa down 30-25 going into the bottom half of the 7th, score four runs and have 1st and 3rd no outs. they alrady reached their 10 hr max, so of course the next two guys hit hrs for outs and the third guy hits one back to the pitcher.

only the phillies.

I have no running water. The whole neighborhood is out. Next I'm sure the power will go out. This rules on a 109 degree evening

There's water in the top of the tank

someone who is 26 years old is having their first trip to NYC tonight. Does not compute.
