;)I went today at macquarie.

the whole thing is a bit of a wank. They have consultants in to do the whole recruting thing. Basically you rock up and you fill out a structured resume sort of thing (nb. make sure you have two different references...that are not personal...unlike mine. They ask you who exactely your references are.)
Then basically the 'test' is this quasi Church of Scientology personality (word assocaition) test that basically asks you to rank all this adjectives either A. B .C or D. You have to say which of the adjective best apply to you, and which one you like the most (two seperate sections.) Then if you have a 'compataible' personality you come in for a group interview to test your interpersonal communication skills. Yeah so basically the whole things preety lame.... Damn human resources.

Does anyone know the rate of pay at Grace Bros. Is it decent?

ah...... more or less yes.

i mean the whole thing is a joke. All these tossers devising word assocaition tests that somehow, mysteriously, gauage your ability to use a friggin cash register.....
its the same everywhere. if u wanna get employed anywhere is a big company basically u have to go through that kinda of shit. its a joke.

Ok, that was a serious joke. As soon as I said I had no w/e ... you could see it in the lady's eyes ... she just packed up shop; basically said: "As if dickhead"

Waste of time ...

thats crazy . . . i went into the city and i didnt have to do any test, i dont know if i missed it all completely or if it was different, but she seriously took my resume, talked to me about the job itself and that was it. it took about five minutes.
