Fun and Games

One of the things that I see a lot of when it comes to filling out applications and applying for jobs is the indirect questioning of ideas that may or may not have anything to do with the job.

Today, I had one of those applications.

As someone who has been writing essays after essays for the last 2+ years, it wasn't much of a challenge.  But I still think, well I don't know what to think.

The first question was making up a new word and defining it.  That for me, was the hardest one because I feel  words are really good with people who have language skills or English skills or write poetry.  It's not one of my strengths, yet that's not one of my weaknesses.

The second question was directly about the job and the definition of the job.  That was easy as all I had to do was an Internet search.

The final question asked what color crayon would you be?  Now, I love the color pink but I don't know if I would want to be the color pink.  I went with blue.  I had fun reasons why I wanted to be blue.  I mentioned that blue is one of the colors that is well used the box.  Blue is the color of blue jeans, oceans, and skies.

There were also some of the questions before that that were multiple-choice.  I guess I did well because I would not have been able to get to the next part if the questions were answered incorrectly.  Some of the questions didn't really have right answers, such as one about favorite types of movies.  One was Lord of the rings and those kind of films.  Another one was romantic films.  And then, one mentioned the film 300.  And as much as I love that film I had to choose that set of films.

I took screenshots of the questions and the answers.  Most of those questions were pretty easy except for the Boolean search questions.  I know how to look for things using the Boolean search.  But my experience is mainly with commas, and dashes, and the words except or and.  The question was a little bit more detailed than those kind of items I know about.

The job is with the technology company and it's for a recruiting coordinator which seems to be what I'm am really looking for.

Every once in a while, I get excited about a job.  I haven't heard anything from the public utilities job that is out there.  I'm beginning to see advertisements for that job in other websites.  I don't know exactly what to expect from it.  I'm hoping by March that I will have something in line because I really need some extra money.

I have one day to study for my test next week.  I didn't realize that I would have two interviews next week and work on Sunday without days off.  I need to work because I need to be able to pay my bills but I need the time off to get stuff done.

I crossed my fingers that I can at least get one of those jobs.
