I’ve interviewed far too many pale where the interview went like this:

It says you worked on this huge project, how did it work?

Oh, I was on the team but I wasn’t really involved in [MAIN PART OF PROJECT].

Okay, well what did you work on then?

I was on the team. I coordinated with the team.

HR said I can’t abruptly end these interviewes anymore and there’s 50 minutes left on the clock. How did you get through the other screening emails again?

“Well, I don’t interact directly with the customer. My assistant does that. Listen, I’m a people person, my job is important!”

This is why I can't seem to even get an interview. People just apply to any and all jobs using whatever cv/experience they have or don't have.

Can't really blame then when requirements have been artificially jacked up

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago

Honestly I hate it.

I hate wasting my time interviewing these people. I hate that HR does such a shit job on the most basic of screening. I hate that every job gets 1000 shit ai generated resumes that are full of lies when there are good people out there struggling.

hey man, it's not my fault i get stuck on test automation all the time

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

I don't care if your project was fancy or exciting, I just need to understand your technical contributions and skillset.

Starting off with lying on the resume is just a total non starter for me.

This recent one is great too 😄

[–] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

I’d like this one haha.

I laughed like a maniac when I saw this.

I am imagining someone bravely standing up and volunteering like something from Hunger Games.
