Medium is the Message
26 09 2005other ’s ready cash. so i’ve taken a job. the loan consultant one. i’ve already feel one week of schooling, two more to go. no outrageous hours yet, just blow at how wholly spur-of-the-moment some of my possible employees are. out of an early class of temps, we’re already down to seven. keep in mind, they’ve already done an online assistance test and an interview. in fact, the interview experience i had with this company took a miniature over two hours. some of that was before you in a small room by myself but most of it was whacked chitchat to three different get-together of the company. the job is as entry level as it gets and here they are, outgoings lots of man power contracting .
when they offered critical calculation questions (subtracting, adding up, multiplication) on the accessible assessment, i was curious why they necessary it. i mean, the test was open book, who can’t use a adding machine acceptably? well, now i know who can’t. not to crack anyone’s information or widespread education level but when you can’t do rudimentary math and are clearly confused by the plain of adding complications, that’s not a good sign. keep in mind, we’re to warn relatives on bank loan loans — typically teh grown-up financial commitment in somebody’s life. on one test my bypass summon me what i had for my riposte. and then she look for “what is that you did there?” um, long division?
