I'm still trying to get a job.
Get this, went to a bloody temp/recruitment agency today to apply for two jobs, one a temp, the other a permanent position within the same organisation, both data entry.
Blitzed the typing and alpha numeric test, got told I was their candidate for the permanent position (which I didn't expect to happen) because I did considerably better during the tests than anyone else, then got told I was rejected by the company.
Reason I didn't have paid office experience (despite years of doing minutes, data base creation/ maintenance applications creation/writing etc why because someone has to do it even in a theatre environment surprise, surprise ) thus got rejected for the permanent position, and the temp position.
Scuse my language but WTF??? Okay so there was a woman there who had trouble reading the writing on the test paper, and people who were typing at a third of my speed (I could tell because I could hear the pages turning), one couldn't touch type and apparently all of them were considerably less accurate and slower and yet...
having years of experience sitting in an office cubicle is more important for a job that is about entering data quickly and accurately. Fucking idiotic honestly.
Seriously I can remember entering my data for the recruitment company database in less than 5 minutes. I sat there for 5 minutes watching these guys trying to work out how to enter their data into the database, went to the toilet, came back five minutes later they were still going, and some of them even finished five minutes after that. WTF???
These guys have trouble entering data in a database, they can't type quickly or accurately, and yet they get offered data entry jobs.
*head desk*
HR blows
Actually no extend that comment to humanity in general
*grumps*

If I come to Melbvegas, will you come and buy shirts at the show??
And yes, I do love to surround myself with beautiful women, it's a lifestyle thing.
