[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 300420, member: 179"] I am so frustrated in this job process that I just want to go lay myself down on the street and have someone run me over so I can sue. Not really...but it's tempting.:raspberry-tounge: [B]I HATE THE ONLINE APPLICATION THING!!![/B] I want to see a person...introduce myself...hand over an application/resume and maybe actually chat. I did that this morning. The guy was very nice and seemed very interested, but I have to do the online thing, which I did a few months ago but has expired. They are actively looking for someone with my qualifications. (Sorry about the run-on sentences. Enter Random Deb.) I've spent the better part of the day trying to figure out their darn system, calling back and forth to the store as they can't do anything without it 'in the system,' they can't figure it out...I just want a really sharp spork right now. I'm not computer stupid, but whomever developed this program should be hog-tied and thrown in the ditch to survive. What should take 5 minutes has taken my entire afternoon for a slightly better than minimum wage job. I won't even venture into my credentialing drama to teach in WI. No one really knows what to do. I've been to the office numerous time only to be given various state numbers to call. I just get constantly transferred to someone else who doesn't really know the answers. I'm just job frustrated. I want to stand on top of the largest building with a HUGE sign that says, "AM WILLING TO WORK!!! YOU NAME THE JOB." And, as some of you know me, I'm not above doing that.:surprised1: Next you know I'll be on CNN. Maybe I'll have Star and her donkey up there with me. Can travel!! I just come back to the thought that if I had this person's job, I could do it 1000% better. It's just got so corporate that the human aspect of it is lost. Ack. I'm bushed. I don't mean to complain. There are plenty others that have much more on their plates. I have food, friends, family and a roof. But, this is really dragging me down. Abbey [/QUOTE]
