For the majority of people we could sum it up as "work sucks, then you retire and/or die."

What does that mean? 2 weeks? 3? 4? Never? The employer either doesn't call or sends you a rejection letter in the mail. :rage:

I've always suspected folks who say this are secretly proud of all the crap jobs they put up with over the years, and eversoslightly disdainful of anyone who didn't do the same.

Senator Jack said:Something I've always wanted to do:
1. Go to an interview for a job I really didn't want.
2. Be spectacular at the interview.
3. Nab the job.
4. Go to my first day of work dressed in a full admiral's uniform complete with medals and a bicorne hat just to see how they would go about firing me.

Les Gillis said:I hate the job interviews that they act like they love you and your resume and say things like "We will have a place for you", "when can you start" or "everything looks great" and then you never hear back from them.

LizzieMaine said:I called the company where I interviewed twice this week to check in, per their instructions, and neither time got a call back. Instead, I got a short email telling me to call again next week. Jump little doggie, jump!

Instead of the bush off I'm much rather hear "You're goofy, you're hair style is out of date and your mother dresses you funny, thanks for stopping by..."
TheKitschGoth said:I've realised, I like job interviews. I just loathe application forms and all that stuff. At least they can't outright ignore you in an interview (well.. it's slightly less likely), and in an interview I can charm them better than on a CV/form. Heehee.
On that note, I got a job again! Within 5 minutes of meeting me they decided to employ me.

Are you by chance a sales or customer service type person? I find interviews not so bad because I can treat it like a normal sales call. In this case the "over-priced product with some hidden drawbacks" I'm trying to sell is me, but the mechanics are the same.
