I applied for a sales assistant position. The posting on 104 said that no experience was required, and since I wanted to change career paths, I went. As soon as I arrived, I was asked to start doing Sudoku, writing answers to situational essay questions, ranking calculus problems, and signing a bunch of strange declarations (such as consenting to my interview data being retained by related subsidiaries, and a declaration guaranteeing that I had not broken the law, stating that if I had, I agreed to pay compensation...), among other things. The materials alone amounted to more than five pages. HR also kept coming over to ask whether I was finished yet. Finally, the supervisor came in and the first thing he said was, “No experience? Not considering you.” Fuck, I had spent two hours doing math problems and writing essay answers for nothing.
