Especially with the rise of “ghost postings” so quantity over quality is greater than ever these days

    Lol holy shit I forgot about those “personality tests.” They are (well, were at least, I imagine its still like this) basically just a way to filter out people too stupid to not know what answers they want to hear. Questions like, “You see a coworker stealing money from the register, do you: a) pretend you didn’t see anything, b) join them and start a gang, or c) tell the manager on duty”

    Shit is so laughably stupid.

      Yeah, the trick is to pretend you are A mixture of Ned Flanders and a ditzy cheerleader when you answer.

      The most recent one I took almost felt like a placement test trying to see if you had management material, which could be problematic for someone applying to be an entry level team member, but giving management answers.

      Maybe I’m over thinking why I got passed on by a grocery store after two in person group interviews.
