[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 319174, member: 6546"] So...a local retail location posted a whole list of job openings (Whoo-Hoo!!!) and instructed interested applicants to please apply online (UGH!!). I went to their website, as instructed, and attempted to complete their online application. Something must have been wrong with their server because it kept freezing and giving me error messages. After several attempts, I decided to print out a customized resume and cover letter. I went to the store in person and introduced myself to the manager. I explained that I had attempted to complete their online process and there seemed to be some problem with the server, and I didn't want to miss the opportunity to work for them, so I was dropping off my resume in person. The manager gave me a blank look and explained that I needed to go to their website. He suggested that I try the computer at the library, since any problem with the server was obviously on my end, and there was no process for hiring people using paper applications or resumes. So....it appears that I am UN-hire-able. The gaps in my work history will never get me past these automated systems and I don't have the background for a Fortune 500 type job. So I guess that's it. :frowny: --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
