Re: Job interview

That is a shame to hear. A well-experienced shop person will be able to
read someone quite well. I've interviewed many people and I have found
that some people just don't do well on test. But not to read your
resume is a shame. I like the companies that do the "personality test".
Like these test are going to "bring out the inners" of me. These to me
are a joke. That is why you communicate and you talk. They fail to see
what value a person can bring to the table first. I take creditable
history first, skilled values and being active in the industry. Sort of
like a college looking for good students. For me it's a balancing act
between what I can live with and the goals I'm trying to achieve for
getting someone on board. The other issue is, our industry in itself.
Lets put it this way. Just reading this NG you can understand that you
can't be a wimp in our industry and be on the shop floor. Anyway, it
does stink to here of your experience.
