Update XVI: Sidejackin' it in the Train Room.

So what's Bushie going to do if he lands a CADD job and finds out his supervisor smokes pot?

[Lief 🗽]

Bushie it sounds like you were the most responsible person at that call center. If you hadn't quit, you'd probably have worked your way up to assistant (to the?) manager within the year!

That's fine, as long as the black man isn't the prevalent race there.

I'm home from the two interviews.  First one was a bust.  They were selling life insurance and union benefits to gullible union members.  I sat and listened to the 45 minute presentation (time I will never get back), but when it was time to give our thoughts on the feedback form and if we wanted to pursue this, I got up and walked out.  I've done life insurance before.  Been there.  Done that.   Almost got the t-shirt.  The second interview took a whopping 3 minutes - 2 minutes 30 seconds of that waiting.  Since I had previously applied to that staffing agency for other positions, all he did was take my name and number and submit my name to the actual client.  I've never heard back from this particular staffing agency on any of the jobs I applied for, so I'm still not sure they don't have phantom job openings.  All in all, I think today was a bust.  Not to mention it was pouring down rain the entire time.  I got soaked to the bone for nothing...  Oh well, at least I didn't fall for that life insurance.   To be quite honest, it sounded like a slightly better version of Ameriplan.

Do you plan to actively campaign against Mary Fallin Bushie?

Do you plan to actively campaign against Mary Fallin Bushie?

Probably not actively campaign, but I will vote against her.

Bushie actually being critical of an interview and not saying it's the best job ever? Wow.

To borrow from his namesake, could Bushie be turning a corner??

[WalterMitty]

[Lief 🗽]

Bushie you should buy an umbrella.

Nope

A long time ago I suggested that he considered cleaning toilets. Does Tulsa have municipal toilets?

Sure, but standing and bending all day?  Neh.

Here's something that is confusing to me: how do you not know what you're supposed to be interviewing for until you're there? I can see keeping the name of a company confidential until you're deeper in the hiring process if you're working through a recruiter, but to not even know what the job is? How is that possible? You are at a point, Jeff, where you shouldn't be getting surprised in interviews. It's probably best that you don't respond to the vague postings that promise the potential of high wages and don't say what you'll be doing. It's best to work directly through a company's HR department, find roles on their websites and not on job boards, and work through recruiters, not staffing agencies.

I have worked with Recruiters and staffing agencies in the past (though didn't land a job through them).  When I used them, there were times I knew the potential employer, there were times I didn't, but I always had some type of knowledge of what the position was about, what in entailed, etc through the conversation I had over the phone prior to the inrerview, as well as the job posting itself.

I definitely had an idea of the objectives of the position, but I didn't know the means to achieving said objectives would be selling life insurance.  That part wasn't disclosed on the ad.

So Bushie, what would you do if you got a CADD job with a pot smoking supervisor?

I'd bite my tongue and work.

I would avoid those types of postings, or at least make a phone call for very clear information on the position first. That would be like me posting this:

Work for an entrepreneurial-minded company in a fast-paced and exciting environment! Work with many diverse customers! Make money!

... and then you showing up and finding out it's a sales job. Good jobs and good job postings will give you an idea of both goals and responsibilities.

Nobody ever put anything on it really, but yes.

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

Oh god, it is so depressing to read Jeff's first post and to then know the road forward.

[Lief 🗽]

God, I would love to read a prequel series about what Bushie was up to between graduating from college and beginning Update five years ago! We still know so little about his first ex-fiancee!

So, wait, he's had a total of four fiancees?  Tiffanye, Susan, Allison, and then someone else before all of that, pre-2009?

It should be like StarWars or Lord of the Rings and have 3 movies for the the prequels.

Yeah, there was some mystery woman (named Somer, who is (last we were told) married to someone else now) before the Update saga began who he was briefly engaged to (and lost his virginity to, if I remember correctly). She was the one who some time later set him up with Tiffanye. Unfortunately she has not featured in the Update saga since the pilot episode, when she had Tiffanye and Bushie over to her house to meet for the first time.
