Me: “I was regional manager of Blockbuster in 2003.”
Interviewer: “…When you were five?”
Me: “Yes. I was very precocious.”
except for WHSmith on toys r us
Or Woolworths
I started working full time at Blockbuster as a cashier, moved up to floor manager of Woolworths, then I was head hunted by Toys ‘r’ Us to become a manager, after which I worked as Regional Manager for Wilko’s.
I also worked evenings and weekends at Safeway, Somerfield, Kwik Save on the till’s as a small child.
“So, Mr Smith, every company that you were a regional manager for has gone bust, can you explain?”
They can for me. I’m 26
This is illegal by the way.
They can if you’re only 22.
Or Borders Books
You also worked for twitter.
Laughs in HMRC.
I was regional manager when I was a baby my title was “Buster of the Blocks”
Would British Aerospace work as well?
“You were a regional manager for blockbuster……name all the films”
Yeah you’re the reason they no longer exist.
Can’t they check your PAYE taxes
I worked at a perfume shop that closed down less than a year after opening. I actually got fired after one week. It was my first job. You best believe I said I worked there until it closed down.
Any job after seven years is obligated to get rid of your details so really you can make any old shit up in theory.
I found this out when I went back to work and could not get any of my old companies to confirm my existence. I had to physically turn up and wave a contract in someone’s face to get a response from the last company I worked with to get a reference.
