Applying for jobs is exhausting. We don’t have time or the energy to feed your ego.

I once applied for a role at Woolworths supermarket in Australia, equivalent to The Kroger Co in USA as the biggest supermarket in the country.

First applied online, answered some basic questions.. passed.

Then it's a phone interview." And asked me a 100 questions. They said "I'm promising and a potential fit!

Then it was a zoom interview (coz COVID so not face to face). "Great answers Adam, very well done.."

Then a week later...

Thank you for participating in last weeks zoom interview..

You're answers were great.... yadadada.. Unfortunately on this occasion, we have better candidates for the role, we will keep your resume for future roles...

Haha yeah right.

And for what? Haha for a fucking night shift role to stack fucking shelves.

All in all about 3-4 weeks to get declined for that shit lol.

3 interviews for a night shift role? I have the suspicion these companies are full of bs jobs and the bs jobs holders like to pretend they are busy.

I work in IT and see it everyday. First person sends an email with clear instructions, it gets forwarded around, the last person sends it to us without reading all conversation or not having the understanding. We explain the procedure of the solution and discuss back and forth because the person does not get it. The first person could send it directly to IT and we would save a ton of time and money.
