Had a bullshit interview this morning (hexbear.net)

As many of y'all know, I'm looking for a job right now, new housing and transportation situation and all that. Well I got a call back from a shitty nursing home to be a cook and the person that called was a total bitch, but I scheduled an interview for 9:30 today. I woke up at 7:15 this morning to get ready for the interview. Shaved, got on my cutest dress, everything I could do to make myself comfortable with this interview. Turns out there was no interview. It was all just so I could fill out a paper application. Paid $4 each way to get there, and I'm probably not even going to hear back. I'm so fucking pissed right now. Like holy shit why even waste my time?

Wow, this is insane. I certainly don't have access to obtaining a license right now, mostly because of financial issues and stress. My family struggled to teach me, and I have no family anymore to help me through this.

Quite frankly, I can't see WHY the job would require a license. It's a front desk job at a psychiatric facility, and it's walking distance from me. You have a point with all of this, but I have anxiety about issuing a lawsuit.

I was practically crying on the phone when the hiring manager called to tell me this. Holding back tears is very difficult for me, so it made things even worse.

If you aren't actually driving, perhaps they just need a DL for identification (I-9 form), and in that case maybe you could get a state-issued ID? I think that is an option in most states as an driver's license alternative. You'll have to get all the legal documents and go to the DMV but you won't have to learn to drive. That hiring manager should really know about this though

No, they didn't need ID; they needed a LICENSE. I have ID, so that's no issue.

Oh that's bullshit. If you're feeling up to it the local news would like to hear about this.

If this is the US, probably wouldn't care in the slightest
