So I had a weird interview today for a security job, and going into it I was really stressing out man. It's basically the 2nd one I've been on since I began my search for a new line of work, and even though it's literally a no brainer thing (theres seriously no reason why I couldn't do a basic booth post) I was still sweating it.
And right away, things weren't right. The guy didn't even know why I was there even though I had an appointment signed up online (which makes me wonder why I stressed about being on time), and even though I was like the first interview for the position it was already filled. I was nervous and uptight about the whole thing I got peddled an on call job. No drug test, no background check, I was barely asked 3 questions about myself. It was harder to get a job at kohls. I'm even looking at the sheet I have to fill out for direct deposit and it wasn't even photocopied right.
But lesson learned. I should of just laughed knowingly and walked out. I'm gonna go back in a day or so and return the uniform and try my luck elsewhere. place doesn't even have the best of reviews on glassdoor.
"Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?"
The signs were there, Dude, and you picked up on 'em--that place isn't/wasn't where you want to be. If they can't even get it together for a simple interview, I can't imagine how bad it would be to work for them day after day after day.
Years ago I went on a job interview, and the negative energy at the facility was so pervasive that it was like someone had placed a lead overcoat on my shoulders the moment I stepped through the door. I knew instantly that it wasn't where I was supposed to be, but I interviewed anyway just to see what would happen. It went well and I was offered the position, but...well, long story short, I didn't take the job and ended up getting a decent pay raise where I was already working.
I suppose the moral of my story is this: Abide, relax, and go with the flow, and when the right job comes along you'll know it.
