Just got an email from an HR rep at a chain Sports equipment store that I applied for a cashier position with this very morning. The gist of the email was “are you sure you want to apply for this position?”. Nah, fam. I just like wasting my time filling out applications and taking online assessments over a hundred questions long.
I run into this sort of problem with large corporations, especially retail companies. I had a job interview several years ago with a new Jack-in-the-Box location that was built were I lived at the time. I applied for an entry level position, but they called me in to interview for an assistant manager position. Which I didn’t know until mid-way through the interview. I was told I didn’t have quite enough experience for the management position but they wouldn’t consider me for anything else below that.
I don’t understand it. My resume is not that impressive, why does it give these HR reps so many fits. Yeah, I’ve had a job or two in the past that I made very good money at. But I have been out of work for over a year. I’m making $0 an hour right now. I am not too high and mighty to take an entry level job. Not at all.
It gives me so much anxiety and regret over not having finished college, but then I wonder even if I had a degree would I be in the same position I am now only with about 25 times more debt.
Maybe I should focus on getting in better shape then re-enter the online dating world in hopes of finding a sugar momma that will let me a stay at home trophy hubby. I am very domestic. Cook, clean, can take care of kids & pets, the whole shebang.
