Group Interview

I have a job interview tomorrow with Paperchase for a part-time position that, if I got it, I could nicely slot in along with my current job at The Sage. You'd think I'd be happy about it but you guessed it, I'm not. Why? It's a fucking group interview, that's why.

I understand why companies set up group interviews, it's all about saving time and money, but that doesn't make them any more bearable. What makes this one seem even worse than all the previous ones I've had to go to is the fact that the email I've been sent asks me to bring "1 item from home that reflects your personality". How about a fucking noose? Or a dead child? Or some animal porn? None of these reflect my personality, except maybe the noose, but perhaps they'd raise some kind of sincere expression on the faces of the sycophantic, vapid dipshits I'll be sharing a room with. As it is everyone will try to out-do each other with something oh-so-fucking-quirky and I'll have something shit like a book or a keyring. I'm not one of these douchebags that goes shopping, sees something and says "oh that is sooooo me!". Why the fuck would stuff around my house reflect my personality? The stuff around my house is there because it's either performing a function or it looks nice.

Apparently the day will include " an ice-breaker and some group activities based on team work and customer service". So some stupid, demeaning yet "fun" activity to start off with, followed by the same old cliched shite that every other employer uses. I swear these group sessions are designed to make you hate the world even more than you already do.
