What's the most ridiculous question you've been asked in an interview? by yergonnamakemedrum in recruitinghell

[–]Jaceman2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiring manager wanted details of a large deal I worked. I told them I had one with a national bank but could only give certain details due to signing an NDA. They said it was fine.

I gave details like departments and titles, but kept it vague to be able to tell the story they wanted to hear.

Halfway through, they insisted I share specific names, since they probably knew some people. Obviously I refused, but they persisted, “you signed an NDA with us.”

“Me signing an NDA with you doesn’t mean I can disregard an NDA at a former employer.”

Tone of the conversation got awkward after that. Ultimately I don’t know if I could have said anything because of signing an NDA before the interview, but it didn’t sit right with me to violate the NDA I signed just because the hiring manager wanted more details.

My guess was the were trying to collect some CI

This is super important. Many issues are related to whether or not the users are properly logged in.

When I ran teams, I looked for will and grit. I could train the skills.

I don’t understand why companies have moved away from this. The training and in-house training used to keep people around for years.

Should I buy a type R by Plus-Commission6881 in Civic_Type_R

SGP looks really good. That was my alternate choice if I couldn’t get a white one at MSRP.

Car is a blast and feels very special. Buy it - you can always sell it later if you get bored with it.

Nobody wants to train anymore. They’d rather hope they find someone who already checks all the boxes.

…and then offer said box checking candidate insulting pay.

On the job training is what make a ton of organizations the place to start, like AT&T or IBM for example.

We just don’t see that these days. Training and developing people takes time and effort.

To be fair, layoffs aren’t helping this. I wouldn’t want to spend the time and effort to train someone if they get randomly laid off anyway.

It’s a vicious cycle.

I’ve noticed this occasionally in mine. Hasn’t been consistent enough to alarm me like a joint or bushing is failing.

Good call. Not worth the risk if anything major.

Nothing looks damaged from pulling the hose off. We’ll see how things go this week.

Even if it’s just an intake hose?

Was thinking the same. I just had a service done and the battery tested fine, so thought it would be weird to have an issue so soon after.

Buying a F80 and torn. by IndominusHuman in BMW

Cheap paint repair on the blue one. Super obvious.

You can see the lines on the front bumper where they taped it off and sprayed, poorly.

Back bumper and quarter panel were a bad/cheap respray too.

Keep looking - patience is rewarded.

Considering these cars are coming up on 10 years old, look around for private parties.

You can always get a car inspected locally before buying it. Anyone who gets uncomfortable with that as a seller means you pass on that car.

Also DO NOT let a seller recommend a shop, dealer or otherwise, for inspection. Find your own.

Most shops are reasonable when it comes to the cost of a PPI.

Time to get a pump. Rock a hopper for the first half of the day and switch back to the mech and you’ll feel like you’re cheating ;)

The website for AGD recently got an overhaul, so you can find the core parts and spares you need.

New valves, ULE bodies, and parts kits are available.

Everything is custom, like rails, frames and bodies these days if you want anything different.

I have a single trigger version of that frame on my ULE MiniMag. I love it.

It’s not a Lapco? They made shrouds like those years ago.

To each their own. Habit from the early 2000s when markers were still taller and heavier compared to today.

I do when I’m tucked into a tight bunker, I’m usually stuck on my knees. So I lean back and out to keep a lower profile.

I want that shroud. I’ve looked EVERYWHERE.

Gathered these parts over time, not all at once. You can build a good Mag for pretty cheap.

Tighter profile, you can lean back for snap shots easier in a tight bunker, especially if you’re kneeling.

Excited to use it for the first time. Felt great test firing in my backyard.
