My interview did not go as I had planned this morning. For starters, it was not a real interview, it was only a preliminary interview meant as an initial weeding-out process and a chance to collect references. Secondly the person conducting the interview seemed to be pushing for the counter-position. I was hoping for something in the kitchen design center. Instead I received the explanation that there are rarely if ever regular consumer clients, and most often the customers are contractors with tract housing developments consisting of 50 or so houses with about 3 different variations.
"Ah. The devils, who have corrupted and defiled the industry, [of architecture]" I thought. "So there really isn't any design at all, since these things are made from the same set of plans."
While unoriginal, uncreative, and inept construction managers are just trying to squeeze in as much as possible [to increase the sales-price] they put in as little consideration as possible into a solution. [to reduce their costs]"
In any case, I will continue to not work in my field. Even if I get the job at this place, I will be working at the counter of a hardware store. Nothing that requires a bachelor's degree.
I hate interviewing for jobs, it always feels like an older adult is scolding you for being what you are, for example when I interviewed at Zen Associates, it was for a menial laborer's job. Any retard with or without a high-school diploma could do it. The guy in charge of onsite work was one such retard. He'd 'been doing this since he got out of high-school' which means grade twelve is as far as he got. Then he spent the rest of the interview basically rubbing in my face that I went to school and had nothing to show for it.
If I could have that day over again, I would have turned his desk over and called him an asshole. I wasn't naive, but I was still holding back for the hope he was just a typical grunting Neanderthal and this was his low-brow way of saying hello.
