I’ve gotten pretty good at filling out applications–I have my previous supervisors’ phone numbers memorized and have halved my writing time for paper apps. The one thing I am tired of though, is these dumb “personality” tests that ask you to “strongly disagree”, “disagree”, “agree”, or “strongly disagree” to statements. It wouldn’t be SO bad if the questions weren’t so inane. My[least] favorite statement is, “It is maddening when the court lets guilty criminals go free”. SERIOUSLY WHO CARES IS THIS REALLY CRUCIAL TO KNOW FOR WORKING AT STARBUCKS!?? No, it isn’t.
More updates on the job hunt as I continue. Please, please world, help me find a job.
wow i thought that question would be for a legal job. it’s obvious that starbucks is part of a govn’t conspiracy. and the clunky use of “maddening” maddens me.
i’m excited to see you soon!
how could starbucks not want you?
If you can’t get a job at Edwards, you must be really picky about hours
maybe you shouldn’t aim for big chains? too much baggage/weird questions/liability issues
