Why I hate applying for jobs.

Just went through a companies hiring process that was this x100.

  • Phone interview with HR
  • Phone interview with manager
  • Online personality screening
  • Fill out this form with all of the info from your resume
  • Plus re answer all the questions you have been asked twice now
  • Please give us all of your previous managers names and numbers
  • Oh, please evaluate them and provide specific details about how you feel about them, and how they would feel about you.
  • Please give us a list of everywhere you are currently applying, where you are in the hiring process, and who the contact for that company you are speaking with is.
  • Oh, please rank all of these companies in the order of preference you would like to be hired.
  • Please give us you social security number in the unencrypted word document that you will email back to us over potentially unencrypted email.
  • No we aren't going to tell you why we want your social, or what we are going to use it for, but give it to us anyways
  • 3 hour onsite interview with 3 different groups of people, each asking the same questions.
  • Here is another form, in 15 minutes, please write down your top 10 strengths and weaknesses.
  • Then write a bit about why on each of them(if you only make it through the top 5 on each, that is acceptable)
  • Ok, thank you. You were the last interview of the many we have had this week. We will make a decision shortly and let you know either way.
  • Oh, and from here, we will decide that either we aren't interested, and let you know. Or we are interested, and we will get you an offer. Or we aren't sure yet still, and we will send you a "case study" to fill out to get more information.(yes they said this, after the part about how I was the last of many interviews, and they will be making their decision shortly)
  • Wait
  • Wait
  • Recruiter who told me about position originally calls and says they had great things to say about me and I should have an offer by the next day he thinks, but he can't say so officially.
  • Wait
  • Wait
  • Wait 3 damn days
  • Email from recruiter, I didn't receive an offer
  • THANK FUCKING GOD PRAISE THE ALLAH JESUS
  • I don't bother to even respond to recruiter and ask why I didn't get an offer. This homey don't give a shit.

By the time I got the form asking for my social, I was done, and did not want this job. At that point, mentally, I hate the place. Yet I still finished out the process. I had already invested so much time, might as well keep going. The only reason I would have taken it was the huge raise. I am so glad I didn't get an offer in the end, cause I am a whore, and I would have taken the money.

tl;dr: This company owes me a paycheck after how many hoops/how much time I spent on their hiring process.
