We have a help wanted ad up on Craigslist where people can email a
resume and in the ad we name our company and also say don’t drop in or phone.
It’s really important to know if people are capable of following instructions! Instructions
only get harder! It’s a busy time and we’re a little short staffed right now so
I’ve been in to the shop more than normal usually come in the afternoon.
As I was walking up to the door after lunch a few days ago this man was
leaving. I didn’t think anything of it but one of the staff said he dropped off
a resume and handed it to me. I glanced at it and put it aside to give to Ambot
later. The only thing that really stood out for me was this guy was using the
type of resume people would use 20 or 30 years ago.
Couldn’t find a contemporary resume template online? Hmmmm…
Oh well, its not a techy position.
A couple of hours later I’m alone up front at the counter doing computer
work and this guy walks back in again. Recognized him. He asked for Ambot.
“Do you have an appointment?” I asked. Knowing damned well Ambot is out
schmoozing with a vendor. I don’t know when he’ll be back.
No says the man but he talked with him on the phone last Friday about
the opening. And he dropped off his resume a couple of hours earlier and the
staff had said the owner would be back in a couple of hours.
And then he did this arrogant prick routine. He’s bragging about what a
great worker he is and how any company would want to snap him up but because he
talked to Ambot a few days earlier he wants to give us first shot to hire him
before he starts applying everywhere else.
I’m just smiling sweetly at him and said don’t put all your eggs in one
basket. You should keep on applying to other places. Hint hint hint loser!
And then he continued on with the arrogant prick routine about what a
great guy he is blah blah blah and how the owner will be really missing out if
he doesn’t call him and hire him. Get him before its too late.
I almost asked if he’s in Amway. The obnoxious arrogant prick routine is
an Amway Ambot trademark.
Also the same pitch that Amway losers use when they say sign up now
before it’s too late because the business is about to explode and you don’t
want to miss out.
If he’s a broke Amway loser I can see why he needs a J.O.B. If he’s not
an Ambot he’s got the right snotty snobby attitude to be one.
When he left he said well the owner better call me asap if he wants a
chance to hire me because the next company I apply to is going to hire me for
sure because I’m so much in demand. Then he left.
I’m thinking hey you obnoxious asshole it doesn’t occur to you that a
woman could be a business owner? That’s the Amway Ambot attitude! Amway is a
good old boy’s club full of male chauvinist pigs.
And by the way - you just had your interview with the owner! LOL!
Don’t call us we’ll call you.
And recommend you apply to our competition!
It's very true about people being unable to follow directions today, even the simplest.
ReplyDeleteI am a teacher at a university, and college students are so brain-dead these days that they can't fill out an attendance card correctly, even when I put the proper format on the backboard.
They can't print their assignments out on one side only of a sheet of paper, even though I have told them to do so.
They can't understand that a deadline is just that -- a deadline.
They can't grasp the fact that a certain number of absences will get you a low grade in the course, even when this is spelled out on the syllabus.
They can't memorize certain simple facts or patterns that they will be tested on, even when they are told in advance about them.
This has nothing to do with Amway or MLMs. It's just a problem in the whole damned United States, with these millennial shitheads. It's as if they were lobotomized.
Anonymous- absences and missing deadlines can also put a person out of work.
DeleteFrom what you’ve described I can see why there are a lot of adults in legal hot water over college admissions scandals. The crazy thing is many of the universities involved are not high end exclusive to the very smart or the very rich. If you need pay off someone to get your kid enrolled they got to be some kind of stupid! A lot of these kids in the scandal seem to be saying they didn’t want to go to university in the first place.
The parents seem to think because of their fame and money their kids should have the privilege of higher education. It’s like Amway Ambots who think just cause they’re in the Amway cult they’re better than everyone else and the rest of the world exists to be their servants. It’s like when the fucking assholes in your Amway upline say you haven’t earned the privilege yet to own a house because they’re assholes in the upline who are renters.
The only difference between Amway scammers and college admissions scammers is one group are not broke losers.
