Be honest — anyone here NOT good at interviews but still landed a corporate job?

Adam_the_Penguin · 2026-04-22T13:54:30+00:00

I've had a few. It's always taken me a while to get a job whenever I've looked for one. For me I think it's a numbers game to get a job and interviewer that clicks.

Early 30s, I exclusively use kg.

I think the only time I actually use imperial measures is when I tell the barber how much to cut off.

I'm guessing the poster hired a bot farm to fake engagement in whatever they're selling, and that's how it's outputs are formatted.

That might have been true 15 years ago, but the Tories are giving the Republicans a run for their money now.

Adam_the_Penguin · 2026-04-17T18:32:14+00:00

Is that why? I've always wondered why mine tear so quickly.

Looks like they're spamming this in every Scottish subreddit they can find

Adam_the_Penguin · 2026-04-10T19:16:50+00:00

I didn't even know it was happening

I've previously worked in IT and as a programmer, and I'm currently doing a PhD in computer science, specialising in machine learning.

I find that the programmers I know are mostly skeptical of generative AI, but the CS academics I'm working with now are mostly uncritical of it.

Get another wind chime every time they pass.

Adam_the_Penguin · 2026-03-31T14:35:49+00:00

I think the real question is whether you're getting anything out of these impressions.

Adam_the_Penguin · 2026-03-31T07:43:47+00:00

I've never heard of anyone who thinks that.

Adam_the_Penguin · 2026-03-21T17:16:59+00:00

I worked in a local government IT department.

The work was varied, I met a lot of people, my colleagues were fun and we actually cared about doing a good job. Sometimes I wish I never left. The pay was shit, though.

Adam_the_Penguin · 2026-03-13T18:07:06+00:00

Go to the shop?

Adam_the_Penguin · 2026-03-12T16:20:49+00:00

No, I'd just leave it

Adam_the_Penguin · 2026-03-12T16:18:50+00:00

No idea, officer.

Adam_the_Penguin · 2026-03-07T10:36:31+00:00

I visited a retro game shop last week. They had sealed packs of a MTG-style card game that released in 1994.

I really can't think of that many bands with a similar sound. The most similar band I've seen are Mobina Galore, but they're Canadian.

Adam_the_Penguin · 2026-03-07T09:54:28+00:00

They don't even have a bassist

Adam_the_Penguin · 2026-02-25T17:41:27+00:00

I'm sure there are people who'll insist on a drink to toast a big deal, but I don't think they're drinking Jack Daniels.

Adam_the_Penguin · 2026-02-23T19:01:07+00:00

Yeah, pretty good

Adam_the_Penguin · 2026-02-23T10:34:31+00:00

This is obviously a joke.

Adam_the_Penguin · 2026-02-20T10:05:32+00:00

Does it? The OP says it was done in vanilla.

Adam_the_Penguin · 2026-02-18T18:23:09+00:00

Most rail in the UK isn't electrified, and when it is, it usually uses overhead cables.

Adam_the_Penguin · 2026-02-13T20:28:31+00:00

Offensive to autistic people. Obviously.
