Everyone I work with is 20 or younger for the most part other than managers.
I think you're on to something with the young people comment.
Hell, I've been at my job for three years and have gotten a total in raises of 20 cents.. They don't see me complaining.

I agree that they're more useful than the useless CV game, but the majority of the people hired at my old job were useless and we did interviews. But I think part of that was that they wanted to hire younger people because we're more likely to accept $8.50/hour and stay there and young people suck.

I'm sure it's a little harder for you people with actual careers though.

James does not have a career. ;-)

You can't tell if someone is lazy from an interview, that is silly. 


You are correct.
It's really just a gamble, I've seen tons of people come and go from the movie theater I work at,
and then there's been people there that have been there since I started.

They're just people in terrible fitting and creased shirts and/or blouses who think they're really clever and know who they want in their company.

Meh.

Exactly.  Especially as we're quite obviously better than they are. Big smile

Why do I get interviews by people who are quite obviously talentless?

Naturellement! However, I don't think I'd mind being an employer either. I think it's quite entertaining to interview people.Evil Smile

He's talking Romanianglish.
And we were only watching him, not the show. Based on the snippet he played I think he's got a lot of potential. I hope things work out well for him.

At the end of the day, yes, team-playing, hard-working and such are important.  But it's in the Interview where you'll find out if that's true or not.  The laziest person in the world could say they were hard-working.  True, they'd get found it in the interview but I feel CVs need to a bit more personal and honest.

I also find programmes like Changing Rooms highly annoying.  If I was buying a house, I'd rather it was in plain white.  Not decorated by some stupid idiots to make it sell better.  Especially as the new tenants may well just redecorate anyway.  I know I would.
