My local chain grocery store has asked us, local people, multiple times to apply as we have been shopping and slightly chatting with the staff. We have applied via the chain's systems. And yes, they expect you to send your CV and a written letter. Then you write out all the info in your CV to their forms. Then you take 5-10 videos of yourself answering their questions.

If you make through this, you get to the Second Level. There you're supposed to attend a Teams group meeting where you "fight" with random people who are also applying for the jobs, in different locations.

If you get through this, you get to the Third Level where you will be invited to another Teams meeting with one-on-one interview. If you get through this, you might get the job.

The job search is obviously not done by the local store, it's a "service" the chain buys from some other company. None of us have gotten through. The store seriously needs employees, they have the "search" constantly open and keep asking the locals to apply. The store has too little workers, it's not working properly. Shelves are unstocked, fruits rotten, staff is cranky and angry. The boss complains in local newspaper that "the locals just aren't applying for some reason!"

1.5 months 2 interviews. 40 applications. This is for all entry level/ sub 20 an hour jobs. Tbf it's summer so it's dry as fuck

With 8 years of customer service experience they eeked out an additional 15 cents an hour. Kill me now.

I love how some will require you to re input the same information again, despite a resume upload.

About to start putting domestic terrorist on the resume soon if nothing hits

I felt that with most bigger corporations, where it was a shitload of sometimes very abstract questions, asking the same thing in different words, all that sort of stuff and then having you answer some of that same stuff on video. I guess it's to try and see if you're a good "culture fit" without having to actually meet you.

Then in a smaller company it was a few questions and sending your CV online. I got a call next morning inviting me to an interview, which was very much a "let's get a feel of this guy", a firm handshake, done and done. It felt so good after all that big corporation horseshit.

If you had the choice between coming to work on time or attending the joint funeral of your child, spouse and parents what would you chose?

If a job ever asks me for a video, I'm just gonna bend over and show my ass hole cuz I'm 'bout to get fucked.

is .mov acceptable?

the local taco bell has a sign up saying "we're hiring, inquire within to apply". i havent seen that in years. i wonder if people are giving up navigating online job hunting

Prerequisite: You must be Anne Hathaway

Typical dom/sub fetish stuff

Add a scan of your government issued ID as well since they’re getting a scan of your face too.

the cover letting is pratically begging for the job. forgot the celebrity in the picture name, i assume she recently made the comment" just find your passion and not do any other job until you do". many people commented said , yea if you are WEALTHY. aka, cherry pick your jobs.

You have to go through this even when you're applying for something like shelf stacking at your local store. It's truly ridiculous.

This hurts me.
