I blew off the interview. I decided to take a chance and go for the higher-paying, better-sounding job.
Oops.
After wasting a good hour and a half of my day filling out an application and standing around with the rest of the herd waiting for my five minutes with one of their interviewers, I get called in for about 12 seconds. Turns out they were looking for people with cashier experience that was, like, less than 3 years old. You would think that if that was one of their main criteria they'd have mentioned it somewhere in either the Monster.com posting, their own posting on their website, or the spiel they gave when you showed up and started filling out the application.
Dipshits.
So, y'all can uncross your fingers for that one. But re-cross them anyway, cuz I just spent about two hours filling out an application to drive for Pierce Transit. You start out as a part-time "relief operator," which basically means being on call and doing fill-in routes. They say you get a minimum of 24 hours a week, but I've heard even just part-time relief drivers get somewhere between 30 and 50 hours a week on average, and it starts at $13.24 an hour. After like 6 months you can move up to full time, which tops out at a little over $23 an hour. Nice money, and it's a county job, which means good benefits.
*sigh* I hate this shit. I'm almost at the point of seeing if my dad can't float me a loan to go to truck driving school or something. This is ridiculous.
