A few years ago they tried something like that and when I asked it if that meant watching someone read out powerpoint slides about how smiling during job interviews is good I warned them against wasting more of my time with some bullshit training that they'd get paid for. Then they sent me for a forklift ticket.

I'd rather get a forklift license than do this, but I only have my learner's driver's license still so I dont think i can lol

I got curious now I'm off the phone.
Google says you don't need one, so the only problem would be getting to and from training and worksites.

I was so prepared to argue with the instructor about how useless a "be sure to smile in interviews" type training program was. I feel my JSA person saw just disruptive I was prepared to be and did their se instructor a favour and put me elsewhere.
