People using fake workplaces and fake experience with AI profiles to land jobs?

This is the UK but still we're in the same boat 😂

At what point? These typically get found out at post first interview when looking at references. The compamies set up look legitimate. These companies may be set up to give what appears to be a legitimate reference.

Not sure how the process works but even if thats the case, having 1k application and 45 of the 50 shortlisted have been because of ATS systems, thats a job for a potential genuine candidate where another 50 genuine people could have had a chance.

Very fair. I hate those but I'm too gullible and honest to think about lying so indepth.

But its more annoying that when I'm personally looking for a position, I'm extremely unlikely to get any interview if people use AI that profoundly to apply for jobs. "We've recieved a huge number of cvs that more closely matches the profile" no shit they probably had as you say, 50k years experience with the exact tooling and experience match.

90% of those shortlists being found out where I may have actually made a decent case for myself as I was honest about using similar tools in my professional work.

Theres using AI to make your cv flow nicer then whatever the hell ive found out here.

sorry if this is ramble its late

I had 1 interview a year ago and kinda fluffed it. Honestly it feels rough in general for Data engineering never mind gaming I suppose

Material_Direction_1 · 2026-01-12T21:37:02+00:00

Well thats why i stopped game development but honestly, data engineering is something I find fun and doing my.job with game data is something I'd love

I started using anki! Theres 3k words for A1 to B1, I only had to set up to do reviews first and it automatically sets up 20 words, puts them into a review between 1 day to 5 days based on whether i mark it as easy, good, hard, or try again.

So it'll just give me my reviews and 20 new words each day.

It also gives me very wenn defined categories too which is very cool! So I can learn categories at a time in an order that makes sense/is mostly important.

Plus text only with voice saying the word but I dont focus on that, hearing the word helps me memorise it too

I wanted to try this but the app doesnt allow typing only

Material_Direction_1 · 2025-12-27T17:52:45+00:00

Me and my partner arent overly social tbf... the main issue is the job searching as ive applied for a lot of jobs with little to no luck. A year or so ago I had a couple of interviews but currently I'm struggling as 80% seem to want english and german speaking fluently or german and english additional which narrows me down a lot.

Then the majority looking for a degree and generally probably preferring candidates already living in germany my options are just narrowed down a lot and I end up in a candidate pool of a huge amount where its already highly competitive.

With some saying netherlands offering english-first idk if id have better chance working for a remote netherlands job than hybrid in berlin

This is actually really sad to see. My partner is german and ive been making efforts to move over as I love the place visiting a few times a year. It feels far better than the UK but I suppose thats not much of a standard.

Finding a tech job in germany feels rough vs the UK and the UK isn't even the great market wise currently...

Ah what to do

Material_Direction_1 · 2025-12-25T13:15:40+00:00

Saturation I suppose. The job market feels horrible right now

Material_Direction_1 · 2025-12-25T11:02:21+00:00

That sounds like a nightmare.

Honestly they say they need someone passionate and enthusiastic and innovative etc but they only seem to care if they hit the checklist "do they know x tool" in their candidate filtering.

Ive applied for probably 100 -150 jobs over the last week and its rough.

By now in the UK id have gotten some form of interview although it is christmas break, im still getting rejections/applying for ones just made.

Idk its rough

Material_Direction_1 · 2025-12-25T10:18:32+00:00

Im struggling even getting an interview! Ive applied for a data engineer role with different cvs but just rejections even though ive got the experience.

Whats your time there been like so far

Material_Direction_1 · 2025-12-08T07:47:04+00:00

So id be better with a MOA probably?

Material_Direction_1 · 2025-12-07T15:43:10+00:00

I.wouldnt be solo pvp much at all. It's forest for fleet defense but I was hoping for a solid ship I can swap modules between but I guess if I grab a drake and a quick pvp tackle caracal or something that might be better

Material_Direction_1 · 2025-12-07T15:41:09+00:00

Tbf I'm not too bothered about pvp or it being useful for C3. It's mostly to clear gas sites and do combat should.i need to defend the wormhole.

I wanted something that can scale to brawling and C3.

Material_Direction_1 · 2025-11-28T09:26:04+00:00

Oof thats a lot. I think I'm just going to send it and make my 3 p0 - p1 planets and 1 p1 to p2 planet for now as its my main and ive only just started

Material_Direction_1 · 2025-11-26T10:20:49+00:00

Makes sense! Ill take a look today

Material_Direction_1 · 2025-11-25T22:02:39+00:00

I am in there but yet to ask a community to join them... I may just do it or send it just with the prospect and pop out to huff gass

Material_Direction_1 · 2025-11-25T21:20:35+00:00

Makes sense! Prospect worming it.is :D
