Reno is the king of contrary. If I make a post tomorrow saying I want to go visit my ex-job he'll say, "Have you got nothing better to do? Let go and move on with your life!"

Lol. I just thought it was funny, My first thought when I read that post was (sarcastical) "Those bastards!"

GOod luck with the new job prospect.

I'm entertaining the thought of toilet training Kat. The videos I've seen of that are pretty cool, and I hate the litter smell.

So, you have to leave your toilet seat up all the time?

How can the smell of litter be worse than the smell of wet cat shit floating in your open toilet all day while you're gone?
 
Just did the first of four assessments that must be completed before my interview on Tuesday.

This was 20 sets of 4 words and you need to pick which one MOST and which one LEAST describes you at work. Like for example:


Helpful
Bold
Respectful
Sympathetic


Assertive
Focused
Engaging
Diligent



I mean like :fok:

Wtf? This is a trap. Which two did you choose? I guess I'd choose bold and engaging as I'm not there to put on a show or make friends, only enemies.
 
I do too but that's what he'd have you think as a coworker. Let's say there was a crying coworker, he'd actually act sympathetic then come home and bitch about it on here which I respect, I'd do the same exact thing.

I misread at first and thought it said two words that least describe you. I change my answers to respectful for most and bold for least.

Anyone who chooses bold for most should not be hired, we don't need some asshole being disruptive thinking they're doing the right thing and showing leadership qualities and shit.
 
Those examples I gave aren't actual examples. I just jotted down a bunch of words I remembered seeing. Trying to capture the flavor of the thing.

If either of those groupings actually appeared exactly like that ---> strictly a fluke.

I am quite helpful and focused though, it's true.
 
It's fucking madness though, these screening tests they got me taking leading up to Tuesdays interviews. I don't know if I should be hoping they weigh heavily into the final decisions or not at all. No idea what kind of answers they are looking for and if I fit the bill.

Test number 2 was some kind of Jungian thing. I copied a handful of examples. You had to answer yes or no to about 40 of these:



You tend to be unbiased even if this might endanger your good relations with people

You are usually the first to react to a sudden event, such as the telephone ringing or unexpected question

You prefer to act immediately rather than speculate about various options

You believe the best decision is one that can be easily changed

You often think about humankind and its destiny

You value justice higher than mercy




:dunno:
 
Test #3 was all about sales - which has next to nothing to do with the job I am going for. Like it was not just general philosophy/psychology but very specific sales concepts and terminologies.

Like, why are you asking me this? I'm looking to unload trucks and pick orders and possibly operate a tape gun.

Some examples:


2. After giving a customer a demonstration of an item, the customer inquires, "Do you have one in a box?" You know you have several, you should reply:

You may mark only one answer
1. "I may have just one left in a box, do you want it?"
2. "Yes, I think I do, let me go and check." This gives the customer time to think of other questions they may have.
3. "Yes, we have several, would you like me to get one?"
4. "Would you like one in a box?" When they answer "Yes", write up the sale.
5. "Yes we do. Will that be cash or charge?"



3. In a retail environment, why should a salesperson promptly acknowledge every customer's presence?

You may mark more than one answer
1. It's a good business practice.
2. It's the polite and courteous thing to do.
3. It can deter a potential shoplifter.
4. It's a good ice-breaker for when you later offer them your assistance.
5. All of the above.



6. To "QUALIFY" a buyer indicates that you:

You may mark only one answer
1. Have determined their needs.
2. Have checked to see that their credit card is valid.
3. Have decided that you are showing them merchandise that does not exceed their financial resources.
4. Have determined that they have the authority to make the purchase.
5. Have a product in your line that will meet their requirements.



12. A "condition" of sale is a valid reason why a person cannot go ahead with a purchase. He may need a particular item that you do not carry and that you have no substitute for. An "objection" is different, which description below best defines what an objection is?

You may mark only one answer
1. An objection is really a request for more information and should be handled as such.
2. An objection is a negative reaction to your sales approach.
3. They don't like the way a particular product looks or performs or both.
4. An objection is a rung in the ladder to making a successful sale.
5. An objection may indicate the customer doesn't understand how the product will suit his needs.




On and on it went. 50 of those.

Look bitches, here's all I know right here:
