When I got out of the military I took a civil service test for the City of Clearwater Fl. It was for Property Clerk. The test was 90% basic math. I was in a room with 50 other people. They allowed 4 hours for the test. I finished in about two hours and thought I must have missed a section. I went back and checked every answer. I turned in my test. First person finished. A week later I got my score in the mail. With 5 veterans points my score was 103! I figured I was a lock for the position. For sure no one else scored over 100!? Another week goes by and I havent heard from the city. I call them to ask when I can come in for an interview? The guy on the phone was rude as hell and told me 'dont call us! We'll call you!'. Needless to say I never heard from them. Too smart? Too white?
