The most annoying part of the application process for me is when employers ask for personal references. Can anyone in human resources tell me why employers want references that are not relatives, former or current employers, or former or current supervisors? I came across one application that wanted references from friends only. What is the difference between a friend and a relative giving a reference? How many other introverts do we have on this forum? I heard that introverts love participating in forums because they prefer asynchronous communication. Just in case anyone does not know, introversion and shyness are not synonymous. Introversion means that being in social situations is draining while extroverts are energized by socializing. Shyness is basically social anxiety and can be witnessed in introverts and extroverts.
Anyway, I haven't been at my current job that long and I have nothing in common with my coworkers. They like to drink and obsess over zombies. Please don't ask me to explain why most of them are obsessed with zombies. When I tried to use past coworkers for the job I have now, none of them would answer the phone. Maybe they called at the wrong time. My last job wasn't exactly one where you had your own office number or one where you could answer your cell phone in the middle of the day. We also worked unconventional hours.
