oh blisters.
this time while walking around downtown, i was given the ultimate joy in life.. blisters. stupid shoes.
so i went to my test this morning for that marketing research analyst position. when i got there the hr girl says, "reena! i was expecting you here yesterday!" fuck. she had me take the test anyway. thirteen multiple choice questions for math to be answered in fifteen minutes. one article generated from bits of information given and a question about me were to be answered in 45 minutes. i finished the entire test with time to spare! she's supposed to let me know by tomorrow how the assessment went. if i passed, then she'll have me back on friday. at this point, i highly doubt i'll be called back for an interview considering the first impression i made was me being an entire day late..
the test was administered on the computer in a cubicle surrounded by enclosed offices. i had the joy of listening in on someone's phone conversation. actually i heard both ends because the guy he was talking to was two doors down from him. would it be all that difficult for him to get up off his arse and walk those two steps? (asks the girl who used to have icq conversations with housemates sitting across the hall from her.)
i'm not really sure about the place anyway. there's two good points about this job: it's GREAT experience working for a market research firm and it's located downtown. what turned me off was the fact that the only type of people i saw were 20-30 somethings. they all seemed to be in the same age range, which kind of bothers me. on one hand it makes it seem like a, for lack of a better word, 'hip' place to work because of the age group. on the other hand, it gives me the impression that they only hire one type of person. plus, it's a little intimidating when everyone is your own age.. personally i prefer a bit of variety in the workplace. i could totally be wrong about this. the company was very obviously culturally diverse.
