There's something emasculating about job interviews

Job interviews aren't emasculating, job interviews are dehumanizing and strips people of dignity - same thing capitalism does.

I had an interview with a recruiter once and the guy was like “okay, you’re too confident and comfortable. They need to see you a bit nervous, you know? It gives them a little power trip” I was like and used a different company.

Interviews are really just a personality check and to see if they would want to work with you here in Australia. Especially when you move up in your career; they quickly become super casual. Especially because I work in a male-dominated industry they mainly want you not to be “that” guy

I disagree. That's what your resume is for. They're making sure you would be a great fit for the company...whatever the fukk that means.

Breh, I got hired to a spot years ago and only lasted a few weeks cause of the way they acted. The girl that hired me did it when the owner was on vacation and I was learning everything. Once he came back whole attitudes changed.

I've had a cac HR woman tell me that my eye contact made her uncomfortable

 

[Bilz]

You have to go in with the attitude that you're offering them YOUR skills, not you're hoping they give you a job.

This. And unless someone from HR is in the interview, the people interviewing are usually not used to doing it and are nervous/awkward and asking the canned questions I already knew they would ask.

When you hear something “racially insensitive” and come in with the Union, HR, and the NAACP three weeks later
Oh, how the tables have turned

I feel you. I'm doing everything I can to avoid having to go back to a corporate job. I'd rather pitch my services to people than have to go on interviews and see the same white people everyday.

Can’t you say that for anything though? Getting a business or home loan. Buying a car, etc? Another human holds your fate in their hands in pretty much everything we do.

Let another man hold something of yours in his hands brehs

Your life's future path is practically at the mercy of another human being..

Be at tha mercy of other men brehs

This is what I'm talcn about. These cacs use job interviews as some type of high and power trip

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Dealt with another one of these last week. Yt must have googled my linkedin. Time to remove that picture.

We’ve all got to start somewhere. Not everyone can be a chief.

You should use the skills of whatever industry you’re in to either become a contractor or eventually you’re own boss.

fukk spending most of your years making another company money when you clearly have a lot more intelligence than these privileged dumbasses.

 

[MikelArteta]

Doesn’t matter how much skill you have I haven’t been qualified for my last two roles but the person hiring gave me a shot.
