I hate job agencies

Post by Stainless »

So there I was, trolling job sites at 2am, when a little job appeared on my screen. Lab tech. Close by. Possibility to pay for my tuition (in obviously a course I'm already doing) and full training offered. Jackpot. So I scroll down to see what they wanted as requirements...

Finished VCE (highschool) with maths and science (chemistry preferable).
Can-do attitude
Interest in science

Shit, I thought, I've got that and then some. I reword my little resume that could, to appear more sciency, promoting my background in science at both university and my current course.

Today, I get home after my last day of assignments, and open my email inbox to see "you do not fit our criteria". What. THE FUCK!?!?

Holy shit, how the fuck did I get into fucking UNIVERSITY doing a fucking degree in BIOLOGY AND MOTHERFUCKING CHEMISTRY without Maths OR science!? A can do fucking attitude? I worked in the same company doing shitty fucking jobs for a shit pay, I've run fucking businesses and applied myself back to school to get better skills!

INTEREST IN SCIENCE!? THE. FUCK!? I've spent more fucking money on science shit then I have on fucking slabs of fucking beer you cunt. FUCK. So then they chicken shit out not even fucking leaving me an avenue to tell them they're full of SHIT and need to learn that a fucking diploma in Lab technology is for LAB FUCKING TECHNICIANS. If the fucktards hired me they'd fucking save half price on the fucking training alone!

So I dug around and found the bitch in charge of running this job, did some more digging found her phone number. Fuck, I'm all geared up for an abusive phonecall. But I have to wait till fucking Monday and I don't know if I can stay pissed off at this for that long. FUCK.

Keep playing Fallout 3 and eating whole fresh lemons. Stick toothpicks under your toenails and kick the walls also. On an occasion, re-read that post of yours to sync with the vibes again, bro.

I hope you give her hell.

Pentagonal peg to criteria hole ?

A worn umbrella, as you know.

Perhaps they dug around ? I wonder what they might have found ? Matching pair ? Who can say ? :drunk:

In your position I would tell her she won $50 000 and to come and collect the price at some slummy place you know noone will see anything with you waiting on her with a nice big shiny crowbar.

I'm not sure an abusive phonecall is the best course of action for securing a job.

Just because you may be a mute does not necessarily mean you can solve problems like Gordon Freeman can.

Gordan Freeman isn't a mute. He's autistic. Think about it:
Never talks - Check
Everyone responds to him in an informative but yet supportive manner - Check
Retard Strength - Check
Sent to do shit that no rational human would - Check

Gordan's a tard.

I'm guessing you either listed too much experience for the job which usually means that you are worth more than they can afford. It could be a numerous number of reasons along with someone already got the job or some shit like that.

Did you ever eventually get a hold of her?

Nope, bitch dodged my phone calls for two days, then I couldn't be bothered holding onto the anger over it. My experience would've been perfect for the role, and I would've expected to work for peanuts for such a thing too. To me it was about getting a foot in the door and industrial experience.

Incidently, I start working fulltime for the logistics section for Caterpillar on Monday. Had an agency who didn't treat me like shit and suspicion. Was a welcome change.

Maybe they just found someone more suitable?


That kind of shit happens, you know.
