Thanks for posting this I just had my fourth interview in six months
and I've been rejected again. They said they found another person more
experienced with animals (it was for PetsMart) even though I had
practically every animal you can think of and I told them that. When I
ask for a application I get that look as well. When I found out I
didn't get the job at PetsMart I started crying because I seriously
filled out over 20 applications. I hate this world of jobs. People are
so rude. I only had 2 jobs in my entire life that didn't last more
than 6 months each. I worked at KFC/Taco Bell and wanted me to sit on
the counter for me to reach the chicken. WHAT? I couldn't believe they
wanted me to do that. Well I hate the job world but I'm 19 and I NEED
a job BAD!!!! Katie
