“and if they are using the answers as a means to disqualify applicants.”
You’ve got the wrong attitude. You should write to corporate officers and thank them for giving you the opportunity to apply for the job. You should be thankful, and work hard for them to ensure that you make them more money than the pay and benefits that they offer you.
The private sector is not a jobs program. If you are going to this job, assuming you get it, with the idea that they are somehow an evil corporation out to screw the employees then you may actually be a Marxist.
You are not owed a job, yet you sound entitled and disgruntled already. Give these guys a break. They are creating jobs in an environment where it is being highly discouraged through government regulation. Maybe unemployment suits you better?
Not sure how you got the idea that I have the wrong attitude. Actually I don’t have the “wrong attitude”, what I do have is the common sense to question some of the questions being asked of people in order to APPLY for a job. Please save your lecture for those who game the system and sit on their asses and don’t get up everyday and search for work because I’m not one of them, nor do I get “unemployment”. Questioning the processes is not the same as being a Marxist and your comment is uncalled for.
How you got all that out of Grumpybutt’s post is beyond me. And, I’m a physicist!
Don’t over-think the problem. Doing that always leads to over engineering.
Cheers!
What an a$$hole comment. Was that sarcasm?
Little harsh there...
You do realize that, if you are an engineer, your job is either a government job, or, your company takes government money of some sort...
