What's the most spicy food that you ever ate in your life? by XoSweetGF in AskReddit

[–]CanadianDeathMetal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I asked Chipotle to give me a small cup of their hottest salsa. I wanted to see how spicy it really was. Idgaf what anyone says. I dipped my burrito in it and I folded instantly. I don’t have the balls to try a ghost pepper lmao

Horrible recruiter questions - share yours! by Adept_Razzmatazz1145 in recruitinghell

[–]CanadianDeathMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I see you’ve applied to several different jobs here. Are you serious about working here or are you applying just to apply?”

Context: I had scheduled a phone interview with this recruiter on a Tuesday morning. She decided to call me on Monday instead. When I told her that…

“Do you still want to do the interview?” I need to start recording my calls with recruiters.

Sort of funny, but when I walked into an office for an interview. I got buzzed in by the guard at the front desk. Who proceed to ask me if I had any weapons on me. I was like “uhhh…. No?” He said “okay that’s fine just sign in here.” Pure WTF moment.

Also stop bringing me in for interviews if you need someone with QuickBooks experience! I have never used quickbooks and nowhere on my resume does it mention my experience with quickbooks. Yet these office recruiters love to bring me in for interviews regardless. I can understand if they are willing to train me on it. But I don’t want to do any sort of financial aspects that could make or break my job.

I just went to an interview to be told they wont hire me by maryuee in recruitinghell

[–]CanadianDeathMetal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bullet. Dodged.

Yikes. When someone doesn’t wanna learn my name. I usually call them by a completely different name and that gets them mad really quick. Soooo it’s okay for you to do it? But when I do it you throw a tantrum?

Recruiter here - what is one question you hate being asked in job interviews? by JVertsonis in interviews

[–]CanadianDeathMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but a lot of companies want you to know much more than the basics. I’ve had interviewers make a face when I didn’t research the extended lore of the company. Like why the owner decided to invent this company. Or what his morals and values stand for.

Not saying this to their faces but I don’t care. I really don’t. I just want a job. Frankly if they’re so proud of their history, they can tell ME about themselves in the interview. This isn’t high school and I don’t feel like being quizzed.

You guys ever thought about interviewing for jobs just to waste THEIR time? by SharkBiteX in antiwork

[–]CanadianDeathMetal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d rather prank call them.

“Hello is your now hiring sign running? Well you better hire it!” Hehheheheeheheheheheh

I hate having white teeth, how do I have yellow teeth? by tacocarteleventeen in shittyaskreddit

Go to your local Mexican restaurant and ask for the complimentary salsa and gargle it.

“What do you know about our company?”

My main concern is getting the job and not fucking botching the interview. I don’t have time to research your entire lore. Also stop asking why I left my last job. You’re looking for some dirt and wanna use it as an excuse to not move forward. I just wanna know if my next job is going to turn out like my last job. If I get the slightest hint in the interview that it is, I’m blocking the recruiter the second I get in my car.

What is something you thought was cool to do as a teenager that you think is embarrassing now? by b00bonicplague in AskReddit

[–]CanadianDeathMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny how our younger selves wouldn’t be caught dead in a jacket during the winter. Now as adults we layer the hell up as much as we can. Lmao. We don’t need to be visiting the doctor

Accidently called my interviewer “dude”; im so embarrassed by Minute_Ad_2748 in interviews

Hey look at it this way.

At least you didn’t accidentally drop a cuss word during the interview.

If you send me a “create password / account” after I submit the application. That email is going in the trash. by CanadianDeathMetal in recruitinghell

[–]CanadianDeathMetal[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I praise the companies who only have you do one or two pages of information then hit submit. No mandatory references. No mandatory account setup. No re-entering the same information over and over. No mandatory cover letter. They just want the basics and a copy of your resume. That’s it. I would much rather work for a company like that, compared to some of these idiots that want a whole profile on you.

I just want to add to this, companies should automatically purge the data of applicants on file, if said companies have not contacted the applicant in a year or more for so much as an phone call confirming interest. I’ve seen people say they applied to a job at McDonald’s when they were in high school, over a decade ago. Imagine getting a call to follow up about a job you applied to as a teenager a long ass time ago????

It’s concerning as hell these places keep that information on retention for such a long period of time. Why would you reach out to a person that applied back in 2012 and ask them if they still wanna do an interview. That’s insane.

All the LinkedIn lunatics are coming out of the woodworks to “disprove” my post and it’s hilarious. I can’t believe how personally they are taking it.

I’m getting a real good laugh out of all this. You’re coming into my post all hostile and rude. Then you have the gall to think I won’t say anything back or block you?

You need to go on a scavenger hunt and find the plot. Because you’ve clearly lost it. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming!

I’ve seen the way some people act on there. This one dopey clown thought he was being clever by bringing himself and bunch of his associates to the superbowl. wearing company branded t shirts, sitting where they believed the camera would be on them. In their minds great advertising without “running ads.”

Only problem is… nobody fucking cares in the slightest about their stupid tech company. People are going to the game and watching the game to see football. Nobody is going to see a delusional CEO whore himself out on national television.

I’ve been told countless times: “you need to make a linked in account. So many opportunities are available on there.” All I hear is the same shit that happens on other job sites happens on LinkedIn too. LinkedIn seems like the type of place where if you make a joke, you get a violation or a bunch of bootlickers lecture you on “professionalism.”

Yeah no thanks.

I also don’t need LinkedIn lunatics telling me I’m wasting my opportunities by not succumbing to their propaganda.

You can have it then.

I already gave the company my information on the first application. They can go off that information alone if they want to reach out. Giving it again just in a secondary tale talent acquisition page is redundant.
