Guy takes over-the-top skills assessment for bartending job: 'Who do you think you're hiring?'

At what point will hiring managers just acknowledge that the reason why people are applying is always ultimately about a paycheck? Sure, sometimes there can be passion that motivates an applicant to apply for a particular position, but a paycheck is a paycheck and people need money to live. That's the point of work. With that in mind, no one should dress a job up to be anything else during the application process. It also should not be a bad thing if a candidate states that they want a certain job in order to pay their bills.

This applicant was forced to take an elaborate skills assessment that included questions about passion and mathematical word problems, all to get a simple bartending gig. Who do these people think they are and how popular do they think this job is?! It sounds like this whole process motivated this candidate to completely lose interest, so it's safe to say that the intended effect of this was wildly unsuccessful. However, before withdrawing the application entirely, the candidate shared  highlights from this over-the-top application process via this Reddit thread.
