I recently had the opportunity to attend a "job fair" here in the great city of Fort Wayne. I have never been to a job fair so maybe my expectations were a bit off. In my head a job fair is a neat place where employees have the chance to meet multiple employers and it gives the chance for an employer to interview a large number of candidates. Boy was I wrong...
Job fairs attract the worst kind of people: poor people. I felt like I was in new jersey the entire time I was there. One thing I have noticed after working inside a mall is that gross people get a raging hard-on at the thought of meeting a lot of employers and not having to do much legwork. This happens to be the same with job fairs. I have had the opportunity to interview people and I am going to be honest... if 90 percent of the people that I saw today came in to me for an interview I would tear up their resume (if they even had one) and tell them to leave.
I can understand that some people are in fact ugly and poor. That does not mean you should come smelling like dead puppies.
So anyways, I get to this place and there is a line about 30 people long all smelling gross and looking terrible. Some were obviously cracked out on meth. We all waited in a single file line for our turn to be drilled with questions. It looked like pigs being led to the slaughter house. So they bring us in like 4 at a time and start asking us all questions. I would have never guessed people would have the balls to swear during an interview.
When I see these reports about unemployment being at an all time high I honestly thought man there are not many jobs to go around. While that is true for some people, the majority of these people who are unemployed are like that because they write poor resume's or they interview terribly. The best part about it is that when they tank these interviews they just assume that foreigners took their jobs or that the employer is racist. If any thing you have a better chance of employment if your black. (affirmative action skeet skeet!)
I guess what I am trying to say is that when you fill out an application always say your black. Yes, it works for college applications too. Me on the other hand, I always have to choose the "other" box...
