Those of you that know me know that I’m all about efficiency and appropriate use of time. I hate doing things that take longer than they should, or jumping through a bunch of unnecessary hoops.<\/p>\n
A couple weeks ago, I started seeing advertisements for a job fair being held today, where several companies I would like to work for would be recruiting. The website recommended business dress and “bring lots of resumes!” I was quite happy to see this, since I have spent the last several months<\/em> looking for work and being frustrated by all the “email your resume here” application processes. Sure, it takes less time to email a resume, but I always do better face-to-face. Up until now, I have gotten every job I have ever interviewed for, so I was really looking forward to a chance to actually talk to a recruiter.<\/p>\n So this morning I got up early, actually put on my slacks<\/em> and my best shirt and caught the MAX out to the World Forestry Center with a big stack o’ resumes in hand. What did I find? Fifteen tables of bright-eyed PR types handing out sheets of paper with the companies’ opennings and a URL<\/acronym> on them. “Here’s what we’re looking for, go to our website to apply.”<\/p>\n “Excuse me?! Let me get this straight: you’ve been advertising for open positions on things like the Unemployment Office website with open positions and instructions of ‘come to the job fair to talk to a recruiter’ for the past two weeks, and now that I’m all the way out here you’re telling me to apply online?”<\/p>\n “Well, yes.”<\/p>\n “So there’s really nothing you can do for me here today.”<\/p>\n “We have mints!”<\/p>\n Thanks. Be a good little girl and go fuck yourself now. Be sure to send me the video so I can at least sell it.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Those of you that know me know that I’m all about efficiency and appropriate use of time.
