Choosing a job (2) The depot I aimed for is in 10 minutes’ walk. The first thing elderly woman voice from personnel department asked when I called there was about my age and eyesight. I was sent to an old guy for interview. He is a former train driver, now in an instructor position. His duty is to screen newcomers during 10 days course before sending them to a Training center. There was 9 people like me in his room. I didn’t expect that that many people come every day. Before I could take my seat, he asked me questions about my education, previous job and 3 questions from electric physics. I felt uncomfortable with the others piercing my back. I could answer 2 of them. Then he gave us some paper, he wanted us to learn it by heart and recite it the next day. We make three mistakes and we’re out, because he doesn’t need dumbasses in the metropolitan. That was nice of him. The paper was an A4 copy from signal instruction typed both sides with small font. I barely could understand what was going on there without explanation. I felt like a parrot memorizing it. The next day I was the only one out of 10 who passed it. He said ‘It’s ok if you don’t get what is written. On the contrary, you shouldn’t.’ He just checked our memory. Then he forwarded me to a psychologist. Young woman accompanied me to rest rooms’ where I filled in the questionnaire and talked to her for about one hour. She was quite nice until she knocked down my conceit with few papers of Bourdon Test, IQ test and some physics tests. I don’t think I coped it well off-hand. She said my results are normal and let me pass.
