>apply for entry level job
>Step 1: need to write up a 3 - 5 hour long online application that has questions on motivation, your skills, experienced, why this company etc.
>Step 2: Have to take 4 online tests 20 - 30 mins each involving numeracy, verbal, logical and psychological profile. The passing score is normally 90 - 95%.
>Step 3: Assuming you passed Step 2, you then have to do another online test involving reading emails and choosing the "correct" response to them
>Step 4: You have to give a phone interview with a member of HR. They normally want to screen out any stuttering "uh ummm uhhh" mouth breathing autists at this stage.
>Step 5: If you passed Step 4, you are then invited to do 4 MORE of the same tests at a testing centre just to prove that you did not cheat in Step 2. The pass mark is normally 70 - 80%. (Sometimes companies skip this step)
>Step 6: You are then invited to take part in a group interview assessment. You have to work in a team to give a presentation in front of some managers and HR. At the end of it you also have to rank the other candidates on who you think performed the best and worst. Atleast 90% go home after this.
>Step 7: If you're in the top 10%, you are then invited to an interview with the hiring manager
>Step 8: If you pass Step 7, you are then invited to another interview with the hiring manager's boss, the regional manager and head of HR.
>Step 9: If you pass Step 8, after a period of 7 - 14 days, you may, JUST MAY, get the job out of the 15 remaining candidates (out of the 17,800 people who initially applied).


all this just to get a job paying fucking £20,000/year after taxes ($26,266 in dollars)

HR sluts seem more evil in the States in comparison with the ones here in Europe. Am I wrong here?

Yep. 7 years making ~150k. In the boonies though, could move into the city and make 200k.

Don't worry anon. You won't be making a dent in the 40k+ you owe the slc on that salary. God forbid you start making above 50k pre tax because then you'll be enjoying paying back around 100k in total thanks to the 6%+ interest rates. And even though you still can't afford a house, to the rest of the population you will be rich despite only taking home 55-60% of your salary max. At least you get free healthcare even though you would want to pay for private anyway if it came to it. Oh and if the student loan system is reformed you won't be affected by it, just born in that unlucky 10 year period.

Forgot to mention that after you get paid half of what you deserve you then also need to pay 20% VAT on anything you buy. Hope you don't need to withdraw from your pension early either - enjoy being taxed twice on the money you worked hard for.

Know how you feel Op, just been through a similar scenario myself to get a apprentice job, at least you get paid enough for rent if you wanted to, I get paid £12k for my first year. They put you up and pay for all bills and food but regardless, it's not that good, the only thing that keeps me optmisitic is the possibility of progression
