My sister in law worked for P&G, got me an application and an interview. I applied for Shipping and Recieving, fork lift operator and data entry positions, just low skilled labor type of work.
I go in to the interview, everything is looking good, he even asked when I could start and said "Welcome aboard". As I was leaving the guys office, he looked at my application again and said, "You didn't fill out what college you went to." I said I didn't go to college and he says, "I'm sorry, you need at least two years of college to work here."
I said, "I need two years of college to drive a fork lift?"
That was the end of my time at P&G, lol.
Ahh yes, the old college checkbox. It's funny, they won't actually check that you went there or ask you about anything you learned there only want to feel good knowing you spent way too much money to drink, party and go to classes occasionally. I went to college got a degree in the field I work in and use very little knowledge I actually learned. Most of what I use are things I learn on the job or through trial and error.
