the whole set is here.

I went to a recruiter today for what I assumed would be a meeting to go over wheat I want to do followed by something along the lines of “how do you feel about data entry?” and then sitting in a room doing skills assessments. for those who have never had to do that before it basically entails sitting in front of a beat up old computer running Windows 2000, typing a paragraph over and over to measure your typing speed, finding menu items in MS Office applications and checking things off a checklist that include “skills I have include – typing, stapling, data entry, keyboarding, switch board, phones, etc.”

usually it takes about an hour to do all that crap.

today’s meeting lasted about ten minutes because this recruiter was thoughtful enough to allow you the chance to fill in most information online prior to going there.

instead of being asked how I felt about data entry, I was first asked if I was looking for something that was directly related to my education. when I said, at this point, no not really, I was then faced with the question of how I feel about customer service.

whatever. if it pays the rent and puts food in the fridge I can’t complain at this point. until someone decides that one of the close to 200 applications I’ve put out is worth hiring me over, this is potentially the most lucrative option I have job wise.

I think having a job like Mike Rowe’s would be cool cause then you get to ask people “so, you have a passion for poo?”
