    Default Applying for a job at Target....WTF!? and FU Dillard's!!!

    So Ive been on the job hunt for a few weeks now, and have been applying just about anywhere I see a "Now Hiring" sign.
    I waltzed into Target today, asked who I see about a job and they sat me down at this kiosk thingie with a computer.
    Basic questions at first, then it started to get weird. The questions were SO trick questions!! I was at that kiosk for over an hour cause I literally had to think about each one of those mid fuck questions for 15 minutes a piece.
    SOme of the WEIRDEST ones were....

    "What percentage of politicians do you think are liars??"( The choices were like %25, %50, and %100)

    "What percentage of people do you feel lie on ther tax forms to max advantage their immediate income?"

    There were so many other bizarre questions I can't think of.

    Also I walked into Dillard's department store and those people are fucking SNOBilicious! I mean o.k. yeah Dillard's is one of the nicer department stores but FUCK come on it's not like fucking Saks or we're on Rodeo drive. It's a Dillard's in Mufu Tucson!
    I walked up to a gilr behind one of the makeup counters and asked where the human resources dept. was, and she looked at me with this blank stare like "human whaaa???" I told her "ya know, the place you fill out job applications"
    So she goes: "Oh. What department?"
    I told her cosmetics, she then automatically stopped smiling, looked me up and down, truned her nose up and goes "Oh....umm....cosmetics is hard to get into, ya know" in this arrogant, condescending tone. BITCH, I didn't ask you that!!!! I asked where I fill out a mufu application!
    So she tells me to go up to Cust. Service and ask them. I go up and they are like "What? Who told you to come up here?" (all while being snarky) ...."You, um, need to go online and complete the app process. Sorry"
    FU Dillard's! I walked out.

    Ahhhhh I HATE job hunting.

    I mean I could understand if it's like a gov't job or something, but it's a fucking mid-grade retail store. I doubt they'll call.

    Target was sued by an applicant over what he deemed to be a bizarre battery of questions for hiring purposes (this was over a decade ago).....I guess the questions are still weird but not as bad as before.

    (I know this because I knew a Target store manager & I had to ask him about the lawsuit. He claimed upper managment members were screened extensively. Target don't mess around!)

    You probably wouldn't want to work there if you had to work with people like her anyway. Geez its like the equiv of an anal probe.

    Total hater and saboteur she was! I always have these fuckin miserable jealous bitches trying to black-ball me everywhere I go. Thank god I've learned how to go over, under, and around them.
    I don't think Dillard's is the place for me anyway. Even when I walk in there to grab my MAC makeup people always have to throw fucked up looks my way.
    The only reason I went there is cause they had an ad on the net saying they were hiring, and like I said I'm pretty much going anywhere that's claiming so.

    I'd suggest applying at places where men do the screening and hiring. In every job I've had, including stripping, the men were more helpful to me than the women. & I'm not taking about "play for pay" (favors for work)- it just seems women are so fatally catty to eachother, especially in traditional workplaces, where some wanna-be alpha-ette is trying to dominate the rest of the women there. (Example- in the movie "Erin Brockovich"- the other women in the office hate her. Her boss probably hired her to screw her, but she also maneuvered him into a spot where he would look bad if he turned her down.)

    Yep, go to the men, NOT the women.

    Haha, I've applied to the Target you did probably (I have applied to all of them in town, or at least 3) and there app sucks. And then they act like they're too good to hire anybody but the best. For fucking Target. LAWL.

    And Dillard's can fuck themselves. Those women at the cosmetic counters at PM are NOT that special looking. And some make me want to give THEM a makeover.

    That's a bunch of crap. Did they want a Pap Smear too? Did they want to talk to your neighbors?

    Sounds like it'd be easier to apply for a govt job.

    It was the one on Broadway behind the Ross and the Chic-Fil-A!

    As for Dillard's I think being a bitch is a more important job requirement than looking good to sell a product.

    BTW....where did you dance? If you don't mind me asking. I used to be secretive abou out it but I'm not dancing anymore so I don't care. I started at Curves, got fired, wound up at the Candy Store, got grossed out/pissed off and quit all together.

    Some people say the way to pass those fuckers is to answer strong yes's or no's as consistently as possible and as quickly as possible. Others (http://melbel.com/2008/01/unicru-application.html, in comments) say it's best to answer middle-of-the-road stuff. Then again, I usually have and I don't seem to pass.

    Basically they want someone who doesn't think.

    I've heard it said that the quality of work has gone downhill in almost every place that acquired those, but it lowers the turnover, so they don't notice that they're losing the same amount of money through shit work.

    Look up Unicru. Here are some links:

    If you're looking for an entry level position, why don't you start with an agency? It is by far the easiest way to get a job. It is also by far the easiest way to hire someone.

    Although... if you get a lot of women trying to "blackball" you... you might want to consider why. Like what they are (falsely, I'm sure) picking up on that is causing this amount of aggression. Like, there is no good reason to be rude to you, but if you find that you are getting a lot of this kind of reaction there might be something in your power that you can do about it, you know?

    I worked at Target when I was 17 but that was back in 1999/2000 when it wasn't as complicated. I just filled out a paper application and got hired. All in all I actually liked it, it wasn't that bad.

    Can I just say FUCK TARGET??

    I went through their shitty app process last year when I was pregnant. Right after doing the stupid computer thing, a manager came out and set up an interview time and date. I planned a trip to visit my family around this. The day before the interview, when I was flying home, Boyfriend called and said that Target had sent a postcard that said they had no positions available at that time. WTF?!?! So, I called the morning of my scheduled interview, and they didn't have me on their schedule, had no record of my conversation with the manager. Like, why bother setting something up only to cancel it? And why not call, since they took the trouble to talk to me in person. Grr...

    I love when retail workers get an attitude about being too cool for their customers/future employees. It's like, you make $8 an hour selling concealer, you're giving ME attitude? Okay, I won't buy anything from you. Let's see how that helps your sales goals.

    In terms of a retail job that paid ...well, it paid retail but the people were fun and the discount was AWESOME, was Express. I'd give that place a try.

    From the questions it seems that Target is looking for people with a positive outlook not cynics.

    When I worked at Neiman Marcus I had to complete a personality test and they ran a credit check as well as a urine test. I'm not exaggerating, I had to go through all that just so I could sell lipsticks.

    I never really thought about it, but whenever I shop at Target, I have a pretty postive experience and have never had a problem with any employees. Maybe somehow those questions on the application help.

    When I first moved to FL, I applied at a bunch of department stores to work in cosmetics because I had been trained in makeup in school and I got a lot of attitude as well and no calls back.

    I'm guessing the reason for extreme employment screening is to prevent theft by employees. I heard somewhere that the bulk of Wal-Mart's shoplifting losses come from their own employees (they pay them crap, they can't even afford what they need.)

    Yep, I applied to that one when they were hiring for the grand opening.

    I'll PM you about the rest.

    I applied to wal-mart about 3 weeks ago for an overnight stocker position and just kept calling them and I got the job. It actually pays well becuz of the overnight hours! I'm so happy, and I don't have to deal with customers or other co-workers really because we're all busy stocking. Try them and put atleast a minimum of $11 an hour to start. The app is online.

    It's just so overwhelming. I guess I'm old school and not used to the hoops I've had to jump through these past few weeks. I've always just waked in a place, filled out a paper app, if they were hiring they were hiring if not, well....
    Now everywhere tells you to go online, fill out the app and wait. My problem is I don't have time to wait 6-10 days for an app to be processed or whatever. I need a job like, this week!!!
    Maybe I'll stick to smaller run businesses instead of these big companies.

    Jenny, the nasty looks, jealousy and hatred from the majority of women that I come in contact with on an everyday basis is something I've dealt with for years and years. I am not a bitch, I'm actually one of the nicest, un-catty people I know. I always smile, speak kindly to everyone......it's just jealousy. We all know how women can be towards eachother. I've been dealing with it so long now that I just fend it off and vent about it later.
