What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

Aw man, you didn't get that 'read comic books and play your DS' security job a while ago?...

That sucks...

Interview and all was going great, I was one of the only guys there that went all out with a tie and everything... then I failed a fucking math test by one fucking point. Then the interviewer proceeded to say "We really like what we saw on your application and resume though, so call us back in 45 days so you can retake the test". That was like another slap in the face to just top it all off. One point ruined this. At least he was kind enough to explain my common mistake, I've never dealt with change and apparently QT computers don't tell you the amount, but he said "count up" when I was counting down, so I was off by a dollar on most questions.

Sorry to hear that it didn't go well. What kind of job were you applying for? What's "QT"? What do you mean by "...never dealt with change"? Do you mean something like "A man gives you $10.31 for an $8.11 item, how much change should he get back?"

And look on the bright side, dude - When you pass the exam and get the job, that hot blonde will be sitting in the cubicle next to you for 40 hours a week..

I couldn't make heads or tails of this post either. Wearing a tie isn't really "going all out" for an interview, and being asked to retake the test is a second shot, not a slap in the face. If anything xerogred should be happy he gets another chance.

Is "QT" short for Quality Technician? If so, you definitely need be able to subtract and add 7 digit numbers on the spot.

I shit you not, you give my boss two,four-digit numbers and he can recite the percentage increase/decrease to two decimal points.

I double shit you not, you give me two, four digit numbers and I'd leave it up to my calculator.

This is in complete contrast to my boss, who has trouble adding up the hours for the week.

There's a bright side to everything; it sounds to me like that hurricane shelter is the perfect place to do a little career networking!

Actually, if you're in the shelter and chatty, you're most likely in the same boat.

At least you're getting emails. I haven't had a single one back. I keep checking my email address on my CV just in case.
