More from WontoonRoo
Here I am in a mundane world store, filling out yet another application that uses the Unikrud character test-- for the 157th time. What is on the kangaroo's mind, I ask?
Well, this is one of those rare moments where you'll see a monstrous macro Wontoon, and only because it resides in his imagination. May consider bringing it out, you never know!
If you have filled out applications for big-name stores before, you will recognize the oh-so-wonderful character test that Unicru gives to you when applying online or at a "kiosk". It's well over 100 questions that are multiple choice (Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Agree, Strongly Agree) and if you fail it your application is dropped from the system and you are unable to reapply for a determined amount of time (usually 3-6 months, depending on the company)...and the manager never gets to see it. Not only that, but the test has to be taken quickly and with little thought, changing answers and thinking too long on a test counts against you. I could go on and on about the ineffictiveness and pointlessness of the Unicru character test, but I will spare you that fate. However, I will point you to a forum that has the test, just so you can see it: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums.....p/t-65123.html
Hope you like the image!
479. People who devise pointless tasks that must be completed for a job application should be swiftly kicked in the gonads and slapped 200 times with a fish.

You share my disgust with filling out forms and/or surveys via a computer.
Last year, I'd tried to apply for work at a major supermarket chain, spending over 45 minutes filling out an application over one of their computers... only to learn that there were not only NO jobs available, the management told me to come back in one month to fill out the application again! (Most other businesses hold on to my completed job application for 6-12 months at a time.)
If they think I'm going to waste one hour of my life to apply for a job I'm not going to get, they're crazy! I just wish I had your thoughts first...

I see that evil expression of contemplation there!
Amazingly, regular wontoon looks really... average and mundane. How did you do that, with a cartoon character? o-O It really highlights the difference between him and his imaginary corporation crushing alter ego.
Though, what's up with the way he's typing? It looks majorly uncomfortable!

Thats how I felt when i was trying to get a job at walmart filling that USELESS 600 questions that took about an hour of my life away, when I finish it told me that i failed the requirments, I WANTED TO TAKE THAT SUM B!*H, TAKE MY METAL BAT, AND START SWINGING LIKE THERE WAS NO TOMMOWO Keep up the good drawing
I tried to get hired at best buy, and I called them to ask why I wasn't getting any calls and they said that my application had a yellow on it...apparently I didn't answer the personality quiz correctly...apparently not everyone can do retail well...I just wanted to tell the truth and I think the answers I gave should have gotten me considered, there wasn't anything bad on them.
What are you supposed to answer to a question like that too? Of course I don't enjoy doing tedious, especially if they seem pointless...thats like asking if I enjoy cleaning my boss's boots with my tongue for an hour every day...no, I'm not gonna enjoy that if there's no reason for it other than someone else gets enjoyment out of ordering me around. So what do I answer? Do I say "sure, master boss man, I love doing tedious tasks for you unquestioningly when I know there's no good reason for me to do them" and have them know I'm lying, or do I answer what any sane person would answer and say "no, I certainly don't enjoy tedious tasks that have no point, the same as you"? I think they ask those to make the point that from the start you will be treated like trash, so expect it. Its meant to demean you and make you feel worthless so you lose all self-respect and bend to the ruthless will of someone who probably deserves to order you around less than you deserve to order them around. Its like saying "ok, in order to get this job, you not only have to pretend to be this way on the survey, but you are expected to change your personality to fit these traits"
I hate these E-apps. WAY less of a chance to actually work, get me hired, and I swear some of the questions are just plain dumb (seriously, I don't talk and won't steal, why must I answer that 97 times?), and some of them seem rather racist (the question involved something along the line of if you were hispanic, and EVERY answer afterwards insisted "(not hispanic)" next to the other race).
I'm only 22 and feel like an old man when I say I wish them thar application were paper still. .....crazy stores with their internets, MP3s and MTVs.........

Walmart, Krogers, CVS, Target. Fun aint it?
The days of human contact before service are long gone, save for some small stores. They don't want to see you, look at you, talk to you, or even think about you unless they've run your application through their roulette, and suddenly you seem like a great guy.
To be honest, I don't think it's ENTIRELY their fault. With the introduction of the internet, it seems like a way to get employees into the system quickly (multiple employees at once instead of one-by-one by the manager) would be more efficient.
Still, it would be nice to know that you could have a better chance if you did the classic handshake and communication with the hiring manager.
