The online application started out normal enough...name, address, phone number, work history, education, blah, blah, blah. Of course, if (like me) you haven't filled out a job application in a while, you may want to keep your resume handy (hell! I don't remember when I started that job...two jobs ago!?)

The first math question came exactly from my job application....for a seasonal employee at Target!
