Career Help and Advice

I got dressed up and polished, because their recruiters told me to, and the guy interviewing me was wearing jeans and a short sleeve shirt.

I really think the interview process and all the rules involved is a steaming pile of crap, to be honest. The truth is that a business needs someone to perform a job. I can perform that job. I'm friendly. I learn fast. Simple as that. All the magical qualities people are supposed to have during an interview, seems to be just a way to shift the blame away from the company who clearly is not organized, and calls people in who they have not properly evaluated. The guy who interviewed me had not even looked at my resume before the interview. He did not even know what degrees I had. Or cared. He only wanted someone who would not look better than him, like many interviewers.

I think the personality type of a manger is much different than mine. I actually want to work, accomplish, and create things. I could not care less about being a boss. Being a boss gives me no ego boost like it seems to do for others. I get a sense of pride from being productive. So I pretty much never get along with people performing interviews. I do everything in my power to be nice, but these arrogant hypersensitive manager types detect something about me immediately. And I inevitably say or do something dumb that I would never normally do.

I'm now stuck at a job that I'll probably die at, I can't get rid of it, because I'm a good employee, but bad at performing in the FAKE manner demanded at interviews.

All I can say is that it is sheer bs that people do not care about the skills, capabilities, and dedication of the people who interview for jobs, and instead just look for dancing horses to jump through hoops or something.
