uni's finished until next year, so 2 days ago i applied online for a position at a major supermarket chain. yesterday i got a phone call from them - there were various questions and they invited me to attend a group interview located at their "regional centre" (read "a good 40 minute drive away"). they hinted i needed to dress appropriately, so my parents told me i needed a new shirt - short sleeves, collar, buttons.
well today i found a good, overpriced one and bought it. i got home, started to get ready for the interview, and when it came time to put on the new shirt, i discovered the bloody incompetent sales assistant hadn't removed the magnetic tag thingy (used to prevent theft... which should have beeped when i walked out the store with it still attached...). OMFG i can't wear a shirt with a huge plastic thing sticking out the back of my neck.
i got the telephone book and looked up the nearest store (not the store i bought it from), and they said i could get it removed if i brought it in with the receipt.
i was aiming to be early for the group interview, but to cut the already-long story short i was 5 minutes late. you know how these people think. if you're late you don't get the job, end of story. the thing is, everyone from the group interview is required to come back monday for a 1-on-1 interview. i'm so annoyed and not sure what the best thing to do is... they don't want to hear excuses for why i was late, but if i don't say anything then i've got no chance of getting hired. damn it why is that i can't even get a job at a supermarket?!?! maybe i should sue the clothes shop - no wait that would cost money.
