GIVE ME A SLICE OF BREAD AND A PAINTBRUSH NOW !!



I am convinced that the workers of the world are a lot more intelligent than the idiots that run a lot of companies nowadays. Why oh why do we have so many ridiculous requirements and conditions to apply for what should be a simple process? I have spent the last month looking for a new job, and am amazed and very amused by the job descriptions I am coming across. Being of reasonable intelligence and average looking I assumed it would not be to hard to find another job. WRONG.If I had all the things they require in some of the job descriptions I would be ruling a country not serving a customer !! It either makes me go into hysterical laughter of enrages me when I read some of the job ads. For example: Did you know that making sandwiches (which is something every mother has been doing for years) has now been renamed. Yes my friends, you are now a SANDWICH ARTIST. Give me a break, I want to make a sandwich for someone not PAINT it !!
And then of course you have to have your personality assessed to see if your an axe murderer or not, and stand in front of a panel of strangers just so they can watch you shake in fear of their judgement
And then of course you have to look like a goddess to get the job and be perfectly groomed for the packing job in the factory you are applying for.
Oh and I nearly forget one of the best things about applying for the little job that will put a few hundred dollars in your pocket every week to pay your rent, you have to have a day of fun and games and speak in front of a room full of people you have never seen before so they get to know a little bit about you ! What a load of crap. I applied for a job on a cash register in a fruit market and they wanted me to spend one of my days doing this.
This particular little folly they impose on everyone really makes me angry. What if like me, you have a real fear of public speaking? Why are people who just want to serve a customer in a fruit shop made to go through this pointless excercise? I have a brain, dress well and can converse with people one on one great, so why can't I just be interviewed?It seems to me that the job industry has become just like the entertainment industry, all about the presentation and not the substance. I know I can do these bloody jobs, unlike some of the morons that make up these stupid rules, so give me the bloody job and find out you idiots.And then of course we have the absolutley ridiculous titles these leaders of industry have given to what used to be a simple job titleDid you know that a window tinter is really a "SOLAR CONTROL TECHNITIAN or RADIATION CONTROL ENGINEER.A dishwasher now becomes an "underwater ceramics technitian" !If you decide to be a receptionist this could be your new title "Director of First Impressions" - I kid you not.....Some more wonderful careers you may want to consider - domestive surveilance engineer = housewifepublic funds economist = on the dolewaste disposal engineer = garboGet off your high horses management and stop being so ridiculous!
