I'm sooooo angry!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi there again,
First things first; cool that I've got so many comments on my first ever entry. Thank you all! (How much has
markdeniz paid you?) I just want to warn all you live journal freaks; I'm NOT a computer nerd and I don't know what I am doing in this wwworld at all. As I said in my last entry, I'm just having this blog to shut my pushy and nagging husband up.
Anyway... why am I angry and pissed off? Well listen (well I mean read of course) to this story that belongs to the realism genre and NOT farce or comedy:
Over a month ago I saw an ad in the local newspaper about a job that sounded great and cool. They wanted someone young, with culture competence, teacher background, and who was capable of speaking more than one language, preferably someone who is a non-Swede, and someone who has some kind of leadership experience and who has worked more than 2 years.
I am 33 years old, I am an Assyrian, married to an Englishman, I've a 5-year academic teachers degree, I speak English, Swedish, German and little bit of Assyrian, Kurdish, Turkish, I've been a chairman several times and have had other kinds of leader roles and I've worked for 7 years so naive and stupid as I am I sent my application in.
Out of the 223 applicants, they choose 22 people for an interview and I was one of those 22 people. Out of the 22 people they choose 8 people for a second interview and I was one of those 8 people. They asked the 8 of us to take a personality test. They called us in to go through the test results. Then silence for several days. Then today when I couldn't wait any longer because I'm an impatient pain in the arse, I called to ask what was going on and found out that NONE of us got the job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After 4 meetings with 8 different people involved, they now have realised that the ad was misleading and none of the applicants were qualified for the job!!!! Some of the interviewers hadn't even seen the ad!! And some of the interviewers didn't know what the position was about!!!! Well hello!!! Is this true? Is this professional? Is this a stupid joke? Is this amateurish? Is this dodgy? Thanks for wasting my time. And thanks for not even bothering to call me and tell me the news!
