Why is it so hard to be a part-time bank teller (or to get any job)?

    I wish I had saved one cover letter. The guy thought he had a sense of humour so it was extremely, over-the-top arrogant. And this was a 2nd year university student looking for a co-op job.

    You had to see it...it made me want to give him an interview just so I would have the opportunity to punch him in the face.

And as a corollary to that, I make my own decisions and I follow through with them.

        Why the **** am I giving advice to a 25 year old when I'm only 18? You are a sad waste of space, Alby.
        You know what your biggest advantage is through your upbringing? The sense that, through hard work, you can make a difference and shape the world in your image. Albie, on the other hand, goes around miffing about 'more privileged people' as if success is something inherent and achieved through birthright.

          So you're claiming upbringing is a major factor, and you're ridiculing Al for complaining about his upbringing?

            • I figure I go through about 50-100 an hour depending on how good/bad they are.
              That's what I would be thinking. Probably took longer to send replies to all the 1600 folks than to read their resumes.

              Last time I submitted a resume for a position like that the HR manager just did reply all. I'm sure someone could have made far more money selling 1600 valid emails than accepting the position.

                This is almost worst than HC's Horatio Alger hour.

                  How sure and how much more money?

                  • Next time Zoetstiffie has a recruitment drive, I suggest he just throws all 1600 CVs down a stairwell and picks the 15 that land on top. The laws of probability dictate he's likely to get a better success than his last attempt.

                    • Have you ever run a successful company? Guessed not. Thanks for the 'advice' though.

                      • You're seriously thinking that spending all that effort, only to recruit a load of failures represents some sort of success?

                            What successful company do you run, you twit? Or at least, what does it do? And why is it that you find it so difficult to find what sound like entry level candidates for a position paying between 24k and 500k a year (depending on which of your posts we believe)?
