Andrew Chaplowitz weighs in on the full-time job of looking for full-time job

JOB APPLICATIONS
Tell me if you have similar experiences.  You fill out job apps, they ask you penetrating questions, attempt to analyze you psychologically, run background and credit checks.  Then, as a customer, you have experiences with the employees at these companies and wonder, "what filtering-out process did they use on these people?"

ex.  Motor Vehicles--rep talking to me with food in her mouth, no eye contact.

Dept. Of Labor--thug security firm (PPSC NY), rudeness to the max

Restaurant chain--being upgraded to value meal without your consent.  And this from a company whose online application takes 30 minutes to complete!
