Applications... I call shenanigans.T 2U: how'd you get your second job? just walk in there?
Alise: applied online and he called me the very next day
Alise: and i started 4 days later
T 2U: WOW!
Alise: why dont all jobs work like that
T 2U: okay!
Alise: tell me yes or no and keep it moving
Alise: do you know what I hate worse than anything?
Alise: ok well maybe not anything but irks me nonetheless.... multiple interviews
Alise: dont call me back for no second interview
Alise: just make a decision already
Alise: i can deal with rejection, i'm black, I'm used to it, don't make it linger
Alise: i feel a blog a-coming
T 2U: about job rejection?
T 2U: or the applicant dance?
Alise: all of the above
Alise: the applicant dance is kinda like the Cube dance, but with more intricate steps
Alise: cube dance is the two step or like the Cha Cha slide, the applicant dance is like that Dancing with the stars shit
Alise: mambos and foxtrots
T 2U: i dont understand why these simple jobs want to know all of your info
T 2U: ie best buy wants exstensive employment history
Alise: exactly
Alise: like i said at the Liquor incense and shit emporium we will have NO applications
Alise: list your favorite movies, ipod playlist, and your blogroll
T 2U: i do not feel like finishing this app at all, not for best buy
T 2U: costco is even more rigourous
Alise: i forgot, for cvs i did have to do some personality evaluation thing online, that was just ludicrous
T 2U: ka-razy because then they still have shitty employees
Alise: maybe it is not meant for our understanding.... sigh....
*yay for my exit strategy- the lunies have torn the padding off the walls now... -eysqueen

Hourly Wage Warrior ovah here!!
I work @ B&N on the side. Luckily their application process wasn't so rigorous. I did, however, attempt to get put on at Target, mainly because I figure why not pay off my student loans by working at the store that I spend so much time in already anyway. SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHY THEIR ONLINE APPLICATION (THAT MUST BE COMPLETED IN THE STORE) IS NEARLY AN HOUR LONG?!?!
Filled with questions about my character, as if I'm dumb enough to mark "yes" when asked if I witnessed a coworker stealing some cocoa butter, would I keep it to myself?
I've been trying to get a gig at B&N for a minute! How'd you snag that?
I've heard plenty of people say the same thing: It's hard to get put on at B&N
Girl, it took about 2 months, but all I did was get the addresses of the nearest 8 B&N's and mailed my app, resume and cover letter.
When they called, they shocked the hell out of me. lmao
