Yesterday's Interview from hell

Why am I posting this in my workout journal? Well because it was the most physically demanding interview I have ever done!! I had an interview yesterday for a production position at a new Toyota plant that is opening near me. And here is how my day went:


4:30am -wake up...grrr
6:30am - arrive at Toyota, made to wait 1/2 hour
7:30 - finally got started!

- first 2 hours was me sitting inside the shell of a car. A computer screen would tell me what to do. Basically there were 3 pods to drill bolts in consisting of about 12 different hole positions. And one pod was on the roof. So it would tell me to grab a bolt, screw it in, and so forth..tak ei tin and take it out. Then it woudl tell me to get out and put tools away. Then i woudl go in and wait for more instructions...which isn't hard...neither was the other portion of putting wires in different locations. What was hard was gettign in and out of the car properly!! it was like doign squats! And of course puitting the bolts in was a lot like doing shoulder and back work..i would literally sit the same way as i would on a cable pull.

-10 min. break- eat as much as possible!

Next 2 hours- this sucked! 20 foot distance, one side had a big grip with pegs on it, the other side had a weight tree. The stupid computer woudl tell us which weight to grab and where to put it. Weights rangned from 15 - 25 lbs. We could onl;y carry 1 at a time, and had to do proper squat form for the lower positions, so of course i went bellow parellel. One bonus was watchign the nice looking girl showing us how to squat...yes I pretended i didn;t know what i was doing..lol. Oh and me being a competitive ass, just had to do it as fast as possible.

--45 min. break- eat as much as possible!

Next 2 hours - was a welding simulation. not they had these fact wwelders on a pully that had a 35 lb spring on it :( and there was a lot of side stepping. Mainly weas a pain in the ass for the triceptsd and the forarms.

-10 min. break- eat as much as possible!
Last hour was doing soem dumb paper work stuff..nothing physically demanding.

Went home ate, showered, and slept! in bed by 630pm
