Applying for a JOB!!

That is so funny Helen. My goodness you could probably do the job with your eyes closed, but those darn high heels will get you every time.

And now I hope you've had a nice glass of wine and got over these strange and unnatural impulses of yours.

Steel capped boots... the fastest way to slice your toes off in an accident.

Steel Cap Amputation, MythBusters Episode 42:
kwc.org/mythbusters/2005/11/episode_42_steel_toe_amputatio.html

Myth: Steel-toed boots are more dangerous than regular boots -- if something falls on the boots, the steel can curl in and cut off your toes

Mythbusted: They had to mount a blade in order to get amputation with the steel toe boot and all their other tests showed much more damage to the foot when regular boots are used.

Just thought I would post this for anyone who is applying for a job BWB (barley,wheat Board) that is advertised on here by a recruitment Company.
I did and and had a phone interview last week and this is how is went:- Girl (very young sounding) what experience do you have? Explained about my working life and how I had good verbal, Maths and computer experience with good data entry skills etc, etc. Girl:- Do you own a pair of steel capped boots?
No, I said only flats or high heels - (silence) then:- Girl, Can you climb a truck and un-tarp it and the retie it after? Not sure if she meant in my high heels, but told her No. She then mentioned my age (thought that was illegal) and then asked me how my memory was??????????
Asked me what size shirt I wear and when I stated a size 14 she asked small, medium or large??????????????
I don't think I got the job somehow!!!!!
Oh well I would probably forget I had applied for it anyway. lol

Helen

I find it very strange that you were asked if you could climb a truck , untarp it and then retarp , as all grain handling companys do not allow their staff to even touch any thing to do with the trucks .

What state was this for Helen ?

I have no idea of the State for the job because I was asked if I could go anywhere there was a job.
I know I could take this further if I wanted but have better things to waste my energy on.
Ps. I actually probably could tarp a truck if I had to as I drove the triple trailer trucks out on my Uncle's Station many years ago.
