Job applicants for a Connecticut-based marketing company have a unique “snowflake” test to pass before being hired.
The Silent Partner Marketing firm is taking on liberal “snowflakes” in an effort to weed out the hundreds of applications they have received. The company has developed a survey to vet potential employees by asking key questions about themselves.

So all non vets go to the bottom of the list? Sorry I have run across many vets who never made it to the list because they are worthless. Why should they go to the top over a better candidate?
Connecticut will force the company to move.

If it were my company, that answer would get you bonus points. A sense of humor is more than a sign of intelligence. It’s a sign of non-snowflakeness. I’ve yet to meet a snowflake liberal with a good sense of humor.
“But there’s no animal that’s more faithful, that’s more loyal, more loveable than the mutt. Who saw “Old Yeller?” Who cried when Old Yeller got shot at the end? I cried my eyes out. So we’re all dogfaces, we’re all very, very different, but there is one thing that we all have in common: we were all stupid enough to enlist in the Army. We’re mutants. There’s something wrong with us, something very, very wrong with us.”

Pre interview:
Go through their resumes and:
First, eliminate any applicant from an Ivy League school and the Snowflake schools like UC Bezerkley and UC Davis.
Eliminate anyone with a liberal arts degree.
Next eliminate any applicant without any real work experience.
Then, eliminate anyone with more than a 1 page summary of what they bring to the job.
Actual interview:
Put any vet on the top of the file to interview.
Lead question: How do you relate with adults like me?
Second question: Can you pass a drug test before and after you are hired. If the answer is no, the interview is over.
Then, ask a couple of these snowflake removal questions.
If they get through the above. Tell me in 1 minute what you will bring to our company and why I should hire you!
The company simply needs to ask the question “Who is president of the United States?” If the person says “Donald Trump,” they are safe to hire the person. If the applicant gets angry and shouts “Not my president!!!” then you know not to hire the loser.
Always delighted when I find out a fellow FReeper has read Blacklisted by History.
I get a bit berserk when I hear a conservative speaking ill of Tail Gunner Joe. He ultimately succumbed to an early death brought on by liberals.
I don’t think I would have cried if Trump had lost. Wailing and rending garments more likely.
Oh, please read Blacklisted by History! It should be in every FReeper’s library.
According to the “Man Law”, there are two movies that men are allowed to cry for:
Old Yeller and Brian’s Song.
Anything by Coulter is designated hate speech by the Left.
We would welcome them with open arms in E Tennessee. Very business friendly around here and non PC.
I managed to keep it together (sort of) when they played taps at my Dad's funeral, but when the sailor handed the folded flag to my Mom and said "Thank you for your husband's service to our country" that's when I lost it. He was a WW II vet.
My earlier comment was incomplete and rightfully and unfortunately led to the wrong conclusions. My apologies. Veteran status is a plus, just like having a college degree, having certain domain experience, etc. It is not, at least for me, a sole hiring factor and never could be. When I said the others go to the bottom of the list, that was more of a figurative statement. I’ve met and interviewed people over the years and mostly go with my gut more than the rest of the parameters we might consider. A candidate might have all the right check boxes marked but still be the worst possible candidate. End of day, I want and have been very successful getting the right people into the right jobs at the right time. My business depends on it. (And for those idiots that want to do head counts of gender, ethnicity, religion, service history, and all of that, my hiring and experience ends up with a diverse mix without ever giving that explicit or even casual focus.)
Hahaha - there ain’t no snowflakes in my line of work - I’m oilfield trash - always have been. I don’t even think I’ve ever met one on any job site - at least one that would admit it
The early morning hours of November 9, 2016...with joy...on my knees...thanking Jesus.
I just checked if they were hiring remote workers. I couldn’t find any job openings listed on their website at all. Pity.
“Responsible managers know how to ask open ended questions that reveal much.”
Exactly. But apparently best done in a smoke-filled room with a ceiling fan turning slowly, but a word of caution about asking a job applicant about their mother:

VP 56 ....Moffett Field for one day 1973 ... long funny story. I had just returned from Nam with 10 days left in service
