Dad: Welcome to the world of dinosaurs, Megan.

So I've filled out applications for two bookstores and a library now. [SOMEONE HIRE ME, PLS!!] The library was the only one with like, an actual physical application. Which bothers me.

I mean, seriously. Whatever happened to the days when how you looked and acted when you walked in to apply for a job mattered? It's all so disgustingly automated. People are just too lazy to have Human Resources and skim through applications, I guess. And since they don't have to even look at you while you type away at your home computer and answer a million survey questions which anyone could fib on...

Dad said this makes me a dinosaur. Because I still believe things should be based on HUMAN INTERACTIONS.

But hey, if I get hired, who cares.

*crosses fingers for LIBRARY!*

Personally, I like resumes for real job type things and filling out the application on a piece of paper for just a part time job. So I totally feel you. Online applications suck [I love the ones with questions about your liklihood to steal or lie... UGH].

I know exactly what you mean. :(

Totally still here if you want to be a designer in St. John's. (And for that I am glad!)

A billion... million, sry... online questions is super lame.

Good luck!!!

I just filled out an online application for Books-A-Million this morning...it had like 72 questions, lol.

I like the online applications though simply because I'm lazy and don't like interacting with people I don't really know. I worked at a staffing company so I know how to, I just don't like it very much. >_>
