The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
So in the past, what's a reason you guys haven't gotten a job you applied for?
Were you the smelly guy in the interview? Did you have a panic attack and fall off a chair?
I just got rejected from working at an internet provider in the sales department, because the personality test said I was too introverted.

Because the nightclub I was applying to be the in house designer for would rather employ someone who's work looks like they downloaded photoshop yesterday and oh my god they can totally stick like five pictures of hott chicks together with a goat driving a car
although qualified from a technical perspective, i'm too in touch with my feelings
so they would rather see me in a human resource department, but i'm too smart to work in HR, so they denied me completely
I have never failed to get a job I interviewed for.
coz you're a girl

I have never been turned down on a job
although my employment history is:
1. self employed
2. worked for family
3. joined military
but there are many positions in the military(that I've taken) that are basically on an interview basis, and just like a civilian job your past performance, qualifications, and justification for applying are all taken into consideration and weighed against the other candidates

very rarely when i was actually interviewed did i not get the job
in fact
quite a few times after the interview i was like "I'm sorry, but this position isn't right for me." and they are like "Are you sure?" and I am like "Yeah, I am not working 4:30 to 11:30 PM monday to friday"

and then they look at me sad and show me the door
seriously that is a dogshit shift
As soon as I took the interview for that job and saw the working environment, I could tell it wasn't really something I wanted to be a part of.
Think of the complete stereotype office job and that's what it was like.
I wasn't dismayed when they rejected me.
I applied as a scalp hunter once. I came to the interview in a suit. They asked me why I wanted to be a scalp hunter. I said because I hear its good living and I hear that you make your own hours. Plus, I'm a psychopath with little concern between that line between right and wrong. Man said, well that's nice and all but you didn't really answer my question. I also said that I had my own knife, too. He said he'd let me know.
I had an article rejected from OXM because it was too negative on the Xbox 360. Apparently they dont allow their writers to even mention the RROD. I got a response from the contributions editor I think like 3 weeks later (first rule of freelance, give them 4 days to respond, then move on) so by the time they rejected it the other magazine it did get printed in was already on shelves.
(This was right after falcons started hitting stores, and the whole thing was a 'how to get a falcon' piece)
the first time i applied to toys r us they surprised me at the interview when they busted out tinkertoys and made us design a new toy and i wasnt in a real creative mood that afternoon
then they made us play pictionary and i had to draw spider-man
and the fucking people in the group interview couldnt decipher what i thought was a pretty clear and obvious spider man

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
for everything

This is too easy
i'm in a band
mostly these

1. self employed
2. worked for family
3. joined military

Believe me, I wish I could find a way to not apply for a job and also not be a dead beat loser.
Fuck, i was glad to not get that job.
but then they fired me on the second day because apparently my hair is too long and they missed that when they hired me
i mean, it was just cleaning timeshare rooms up at the snowbird ski resort on saturdays
nothing requiring too much proffesionalism

wooo
I was wondering where those people worked
Wal-Mart
Never did.
going in for what you think is a job interview
but in fact it's actually a seminar for a commissions-based sales position with vector marketing
ie the companies that are basically pyramid scams
you actually got roped in by one of those?

one person actually said bugman as i recall.
STEAM!
stock shelves and work the backroom right
and they had you designing toys? what the fuck
no
i know better
i realized what i was in when i got there and i left after like a minute
they get away with this shit so easily!
sell a bunch of people a bunch of high-quality kitchen knives
get them to hawk them on the street to make the money back
you would think it was illegal!
it isn't.
you got cutco'd
that is the real life equivalent of rickroll
yea i assemble bikes and power wheels
but since its NOT christmas season goof-off time just increased ten-fold.
and everyone that works there, all the way up to the store manager
EVERYONE is under 25
and were the best toys r us in the region
why? cause were awesome
STEAM!
