One hundred and one. One to process the application and 100 to interrogate applicants for fraud: Why didn't you apply for the temporary part time job advertised at McDonalds? Afraid the popping french fry grease is going to burn your pretty little hands as a laid off executive assistant? How about a telemarketing job making cold calls from home so you don't have to pay for day care? Says here you used to build houses with a nail gun. Pop quiz. What's the difference between a claw hammer, a frame hammer, a sledge hammer and a ballpeen hammer. You have 5 seconds. Why aren't you taking computer courses in a skills retraining program?
