I am finally getting better at the "making some money"-front. Yes I have a new job. Hence the last couple of days where spent in a little, hot, windowless room filling in forms and learning how to lift a box. Ah the pleasures of Health & Safety. I won't go into those that would just be too lazy. Still they are entertaining.
I love new interview techniques by the way. Instead of talking to us, we have to talk to one another and then introduce our neighbour. Which brings me to the question: Am I the only one who is perfectly calm until the remark "to ease the tension we will play some little games now to get to know each other" falls? Seriously nothing makes me panic more. "Hi everyone, this is Peter, he is 23 and studies astro-physics. His favourite film is Dodgeball and he hates bees more than anything. His hobbies are movies, music and socialising and if he'd win a million pounds he'd quit this possible job straight away and buy loads of little blue plastic cows."
After surviving this part of the group interview it got worse, although I must stress how much I admire the determination of my new employer to go totally crazy on the funky new interviews. We got given paper, bin bags, glue and pens and had to design some clothes for one of us. Brilliant. My entire group got hired and may I ad, we rocked! Get us!
Slowly but surely the training days are over now and the job becomes less exciting and more necessary. Which is kinda sad.
All I remember from the extensive training is that should someone call and tell me that he has placed a bomb in the building I have to ask him his name, where he is at the moment, what this bomb looks like, where it is and when it is supposed to go off! Let's face it, these are all totally reasonable questions which you really should be willing to answer politely, after all we might evacuate the building just for you, so the least you could do it give up your name and adress. I hope I don't mess it up and say "Why?" should this conversation ever take place.
