The job application game

[directhex]

Following a discussion on IRC, I feel this is worth a giggle.

Hands up if you've applied for a job.

Keep your hand raised if you had a stupid form to fill out.

Okay, everyone with your hand up, the question is "Describe your worst quality"

Example answers:
"A lack of tolerance for people asking questions which are clearly going to get answers that are in fact not bad qualities at all"
"I don't have any, except maybe I'm too modest at times"
"maybe i'm just a little *too* perfect. it sometimes makes co-workers feel depressed, as they can never hope to reach my level"
"My worst quality is an inability to discuss my worst quality."
"I smell"
"I hide cameras in the ceiling of the ladies' loos"
"i can't remember the correct path through level 7-3 on super mario bros"
"I steal stationery"
"I remain stationary"
"I tend to hunt down people who don't give me a job and stick their heads on poles"
"I was sacked from my last three jobs for attempting to murder colleagues, but my doctors say it won't happen again"
"I have a tendency to bring armed weapons to interviews, and sometimes get a bit angry"

all of the above


I think the only form I've had to fill out with questions such as this was from Tesco. It's a load of new-age rubbish

My need to lengthy poo breaks. At least 4 times a day.
Also in my current jobh that i reall hate sick people. They annoy me with their whining and sickness.

Definately bad qualities!

Just filed my application with one employer, damn their stupid proprietory online application process, stupid questions, and general Firefox unfriendliness!

If you think application forms are a waste of time, you just wait until you start and get given some work to do...
