Even Target Won't Employ Me! Be My Friend!
I just returned from applying at Target. For managment? Nooooo, I wanna be a cashier.
So after waiting an hour and a half to apply, I take my seat at the KIOSK to begin the application and 60 question survey. I was subjected to no less the 15 questions related their tax credit deal. Am I on welfare? Food Stamps? Was I imprisioned? blah blah blah. Nope, no, nah, NO!, nada, never.... Okay, don't call us, we will call you.
Bottom line - I am educated, and I do not give them what they need to save money on taxes. I am not a minority, I have a car, I have some stocks, never been on welfare, never in prision... How dare I attempt to be a minimum wage cashier at Target?
I am very conflicted. I am falling victim to a policy I encouraged. My social worker, fight for social injustice brain is like "Great! There are so many families from the nearby public housing units that need these jobs! they need this money and now they have more oppertunity because of these tax credits!" The unemployed, tired, depressed side of my brain is like "Girl, get a job and pay some damn bills."
Who knows, maybe Target WILL hire me! Maybe they WILL call me... But I doubt it. Until then http://www.jerryssandwiches.com, I'm looking at YOU to hire me.
