Citizen's Skank

Ok... so as many of you know, I am in the process of looking for new job. I went on an interview yesterday at Citizen's Bank, and due to the fact that it was a complete waste of my time, I thought I would share my experience with you! ARE YOU EXCITED??!! I know you are. It's ok to admit it.

Mind you, the entire interview took maybe 10 minutes. So, I get there about 10 minutes early, out of respect. It's just good manners. So my new buddy Jaff (yes, his name was Jaff) calls me in and I sit down. He is holding my papers and he immediately says to me: "I have a bunch of applicants, so I need to refresh my memory as to who you are." Being the polite person I am, I say "oh of course, by all means take your time."

Maybe I shouldn't have said that. He sat there for 5 minutes looking through papers and saying nothing... do I need to remind you that the entire interview took 10 minutes? So finally, he says "oh you're the art student" I'm thinking.. "art student?" I didn't really verbally acknowledge it, so he says "is that right" and I said "well, I study media" and he said, "yeah but you have an arts degree." OH YEAH... I FORGOT... I AM AN ART STUDENT BECAUSE I HAVE A BACHELOR OF ARTS!! STUPID ME!

Then he says to me "so why do you want to be a teller, you dont have any experience." (Mind you.. it was very nasty the way he said it.) So I of course, being poor and just needing a job, gave some cock eyed answer that would shmooze over anybody. He then proceeds to tell me about the position. This is what he said (i am not paraphrasing at all here) "So, the job is a 38 hour week. (looking through papers more) Yup, 38 hour week. Some days you'll work till 3:15, some till 4:30, some till 5:30, but its 38 hours." THAT'S IT!!!!! I kid you not. Then he proceeds to say "yeah, so i have a ton of applicants, and i'lll probably hire someone by the end of the next week. You can take my card if you have any questions, and i'll let you know."

So, being a responsible adult, I say "well, I have a couple of questions now, if that's ok." I proceed to ask about benefits, he answers and then I ask him about pay. He tells me "We haven't decided on that yet." WHAT!!!!!!!!!! YOU'RE GOING TO SERIOUSLY TELL ME THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HOLD INTERVIEWS FOR A JOB AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TELL THE PEOPLE WHAT YOU'RE OFFERING!!! What a joke.

So I left, and thought to myself "yeah you'll never see me again." It was rediculous. No, it was more than rediculous... it was REDONKULOUS!! So kids... this girl aint going to be a Citizen's Skank... No Sir ree!!!

That's my story!
