It’s bad. Very bad.
I spent the past month or so looking for my first job out or school. And so many places make you jump through hoops or have humiliation session interviews.
The place I accepted the offer from called me once for screening. Then set up a technical interview.
The technical interview was half of it talking about who I am. What I like to do. What I want to work on etc. and the other half them explaining what the job is, why it’s a great opportunity etc.
Next day I got the offer. Simplest process ever and not humiliating at all. Felt like the exception. There are decent people out there still.
And often, the places with all the hoops are terrible places to work. Because guess what, they make you jump through hoops to do your job, and everything else.
They really want it to be a .mov file, not a .mp4 file. Don’t fuck this up or they’ll ghost you.
Why is Anne Hathaway looking at me like she’s my kid brother and mom just said it’s his turn to use the computer?
Hey this happened to me ! In retrospect, shouldn’t have continued the application at that point
Down for a round 2? I don’t have a job but i’d certainly love to see you begging
I’ll need financial compensation
Brb, starting a gofundme. We’re both jobless bums.
My favorite was, upload you resume after spending 45 minutes filling out the exact same shit. You know no one is looking at your resume at all.
.mov? What is this? The dark ages?
All video recorded on an iDevice defaults to HEVC h.265 .mov. QuickTime is dead (at least to the public) but the codecs are an industry standard.
Ugh I got an email like that just a few days ago. “Make a 3min video explaining why you want to work for us and what you bring to the table”. I sway back and forth between refusing to be their stupid dancing monkey and being desperate enough for a new job to consider it. The company itself seems like a shitshow (an AI startup that works with insurance companies) but the job posting itself is in exactly the niche I like with the exactly the technologies I specialize in and the pay is extremely competitive. Honestly idk if I’m gonna go for it or if I have any ounce of self-respect.
.mov or. mov 👁️👄👁️
The difference is the encoding, choose carefully ☝️
Grok, generate a CV, cover letter, and video so I get the job. Make it so good that they double the offered payment.
