"So. What makes you think you have what it takes to be a cook at Eatzi's?" |
|
I was just asked this question at a job interview this morning.
The need for Lexapro at this moment is overwhelming.

1. That is a soul-destroyer. |

2. Sounds inviting, doesn't it? |
|
I don't know if I "have what it takes" to be a line cook there, i.e. the ability to deal with the fact that life is a bleak meaningless hole.
The ultimate irony is that I don't think I'll actually get the job, since my baking experience is mostly specialty stuff and they're looking for a production kinda guy.
What kind of gun do you recommend for the cleanest, quickest possible shot to the right temple?

3. I HATE those bullshit questions. |
|
That vague, meaningless shit they throw at you just to see how you react, as though your ability to sail through a phony-ass pseudo-psychological grilling from a bonehead HR smegwipe with no actual knowledge of psych has any bearing on your ability to bake.

5. The games you have to play to get hired. |
|

Eatzi's, though.... total YUM. I wish the one in my town was closer to me. Their food is deeeelish.

8. "players?" They don't have employees, they have "players?" |
|
Cut me a fucking break. Something tells me you wouldn't want to work there. Did you see "Office Space?" I wonder of the "players" wear "flair?"

Say what you will about Applebee's or Chili's, at least they don't give their cooks pretentious, ill-fitting job titles.
I wanted to apply for a job; I didn't think I was "trying out for the team."

11. I was once asked at an interview |
|
to "Give me ten words that make a picture of Tyrone."
It was for an $11/hour butcher's position in Manhattan.
I drew a blank after word #7. That was almost the end of my adventure in NYC -- and on this planet.
Such a low moment...
