Well, I have never worked for FS, but years ago, like 1999, I applied to work for them.

It's me sitting there, with an interviewer across from me, and a woman to my right watching me.

It was by far the worst interview ever! Sample question:

"I see you did a year of university, and then dropped out. Do you often quit things without finishing?"

"Well, if you notice, that university is in Halifax, and my address is in Vancouver. The commute was a drag."

And on it went. My attitude went up with every answer as I realized that I had no interest in slinging their crap for minimum wage.

I got that they were trying to gage my ability to handle sales under pressure, buts its FS man...people come in, you put stuff on their credit card and they never actually pay for it. Not rocket science.

Every time I go in there now, I just remember that glaring, scowling woman staring at me, and walk back out.
