Has anyone worked for Combined Insurance?
Also, they say that they work with Careerbuilder (which is where they got my e-mail address from). It just sounds like a major lie that an insurance company would work with Careerbuilder. I researched Combined Ins. online and it's a real company, but I just don't know if it's a good company that anyone would want to work for.
Are online job applications pointless?
The whole online application thing is just so ****** ridiculous. I have been applying for jobs for the past two years and I haven't even got an interview yet. Whenever I go into the stores asking for an application, they tell me to apply online. So I go online, and take some sort of stupid personality test for 45 minutes and submit my application never to be heard back from again. The whole online application thing is just a waste of time. I have completed hundreds of those and haven't even gotten a call. Mind, these are for shitty entry level jobs which in most cases do not even pay a decent salary let alone any benefits. My friends who have jobs got it because they have a family member who works for the company or knows someone who can put in a good word for them. Again what's really the point of these stupid 100 questions personality test? Give me a break cause I am not going to work for the ****** CIA. Are people even reading these applications? I have taken many of those tests before and I can just tell them what they want to hear. I can pass those test with flying colors if I just lie to them and tell them what they want 2 hear. On the side note, there are still rude employees working in these stores even though they must have went through the whole screening process. Sorry for the language I am just frustrated. Should I even waste my time filling pointless applications online? Its time consuming and doesn't benefit me anyway (other than learning to lie) ??
