I am actively trying not to freak out here, because I'm a little shocked and appalled about what happened to me today. I applied for a job at a certain company (at which toy animal carcasses are stuffed and dressed up by small children) for the summer. Before I even handed in my application, the general manager scheduled my interview and told me that I was exactly what she was looking for. I passed through the first three phases of the interview with flying colors, and then was ushered into the back office to take a Reed Survey. The questions were basic, and I remained consistent. I like to consider myself a reasonably intelligent, pretty honest person. I don't steal and I don't tolerate stealing under any circumstances. I don't believe in yelling at or being rude to customers/guests. I don't believe in physical fights. I don't take drugs. I've never been accused of or charged with a crime. My answers reflected those beliefs. I took the test, handed it in, and expected to be notified within 24 hours. That was a week ago. Today, I went back to the store convinced that something must have gone wrong, and was informed that my test showed that I was "Not Recommended for Employment." Um, seriously? Do you only hire felons and thieves and drug addicts? Because if so, cool.
Now, this is relevent. I promise. While seething in angry confusion and concern (they won't tell me why I "failed" and they have my SSN, so this mystery inadequacy could be forever attached to me), I started to panic about the WDWCP web-based interview that I know I'm going to be taking within the next six months. If it is anything like this Reed Survey, I'm assuming that morality does not factor into passing or failing. And if it does, well, then evidently I don't fit the standard. So my question to all CP applicants and alums is this: How is the WBI? If you're a generally decent human being, will you pass? Do they try and trick you on questions? Is there any way I can practice with it before I actually have to take it (January)?
I assumed that it wasn't going to be a big deal. Now, I'm freaking out.
