So, I applied for a job at the Sunglass hut. The store is about 15 minutes east of where I live and in the desert on an indian reserve/casino dealio. I drive all the way out there to turn in my application to be told that they need someone who speaks spanish (which I do) and they give me a card telling me to go back home and do the interview via the phone. The interview questions are all automated crap like "Would you or have you ever stolen anything?" generalities like that.
Now, I have about 5 years of retail experience and perfect record when it comes to work. Always punctual and stay late to finish a certain task (may not seem like it, but I am a pretty good worker). I call today to find out the results and it turns out I failed the phone interview. In total, I spoke with the manager for 3 minutes, and never met face to face with her. So, they deny me the job because of a phone interview? I mean, that to me is BS. How hard is it for a company to actually interview a person instead of doing what a machine tells them? agghh

oh, I concur. I'm just wondering what happened to doing an actual interview instead of having a phone system do it for you.

Wait, do you have a drivers license?

Last time I checked, yes...

 

[DRB]

oh, I concur. I'm just wondering what happened to doing an actual interview instead of having a phone system do it for you.

The company probably doesn't want some barely (or not) qualified manager to make a decision.

I'd just keep calling the auto interview number for fun. You could make up different characters.

Call as BTK. See how long it takes for the cops to show up.

Then why even hire the manager if you don't trust them to hire others and make qualitative decisions..

You mean the guy in jail?

Call as Osama.

they told you that you "FAILED" the interview? That seems extremely odd if they did. Are you upset and exaggerating? Reasonable if you are, but I can't fathom they said "failed".

If you're upset, go firebomb the place. It's only indians, they're used to it.

yup, I failed the interview. And the asst. manager said "yea, I'm sorry you didn't pass"...

What kind of questions did they ask? It sounds to me like their employment process might be a bit on the shady side--since it seems like they're pre-screening their applicants.

We need to work on your punctuation and spelling..

Your application was flagged the minute they saw your cornrows. You could have answered all of the questions right and you would have failed.

Look stubby, you wanted to know how it happened, I just offered up a logical answer. Besides, if you are going to lob softballs, there's no reason not to hit them!

I find it funny that when Tenchiro posts a thread about basically the same thing ( http://ridemonkey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=132606 ) people are sympathetic. Because Manzi is a kid applying at a sunglass hut he get's crap over it. Oh well, if you can't beat em, join em...

You sure they didn't ask about hairstyles or sheep?

I am always amazed that when it comes to retail jobs the companies are very strict... drug tests, personality tests, etc. But any moron can get a job in my company making 40k a year starting at the lowest level job there is... help desk. Seriously, you should see some of the people they hire. Shoot, they hired me! Weirdest thing is that a hospital doesn't drug test it's employees. You'd think that of all places a hospital would drug test. oh well.

Hey Manzi, you good with a computer? Wanna job?
