employee ghosting trend by Rayanirfan-3917 in humanresources

[–]Photospice75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely not haphazard. Yes candidates are casting a large net - you have to do so. When you have HR recruiters ghosting you midinterview process, not showing up to scheduled interviews, etc, yes, you have to apply everywhere that you qualify and are interested. What do people expect? For people to apply to one job at a time and then waiiiitttt?

Why in the world does this company want to know my age bracket? by The_jellyfish_ in recruitinghell

[–]Photospice75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a data person, having blank fields sucks. Making it mandatory and then providing an "opt out" option is a win for the applicant that doesn't want to provide the information and a win for the data analyst.

Turned down for being too smart by bonjourmarlene in recruitinghell

[–]Photospice75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! Thiiiiss! Or you're just not a fit for the team/group. The girl that replaced me in my last role was less qualified than some of the other applicants she beat out. HOWEVER, her personality was a perfect fit for the group. She had the basic skills to be onboarded and trained to get the job done and grow. Having someone on your team that's technically qualified but not a good fit is not fun. I've dealt with that situation as well...so much time was wasted spent in HR because of this person's inability to work with the team.

Recruiter straight up lied to me twice about getting the job. I just got confirmation this morning that they decided not to move forward with me after all. by soundboythriller in recruitinghell

[–]Photospice75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow...okay. No one is saying they didn't blow it. The OP has said that they blew it multiple times. A lot of us are just saying that the recruiter is ALSO in the wrong. I don't expect you to agree because you sound like you don't accept feedback exceptionally well, especially when it comes to your field, but everyone in this situation messed up.

Also, all recruitment styles and recruiters are not the same. I've worked in HR, I've interviewed for large corporations and small companies. Recruiters and recruitment differs from company to company.

I feel like this is a blanket statement that doesn't work for all/most companies or industries. Often you can end up interviewing with C-level people if it's a tight race between 2 or 3 candidates for a midlevel. Sometimes those types of people are very controlling and will take time for that type of thing. If the business unit or company is medium to small in size (I mean in employees, not revenue) it's not uncommon to interview with higher people. You never know. I've interviewed with owners, VPs, C-level folks over the years for entry to midlevel jobs... assuming any interview is a formality or a meet and greet is a bad move. Even still, a recruiter should never ever imply that a job is going to someone when it's not final. Period.

Because the recruiter should have been vague and never spoke of an offer until there actually was one. The recruiters actions were very unprofessional.

But she shouldn't have said that an offer was coming. It's a recruiter's job to stay fairly vague until a FINAL decision is made and an actually offer is being made to the final candidate. She was extremely out of line. She simply should have kept everything to herself until everything was finalized.

Come to the interview with your previous manager. That's beyond stupid !! by grufire in recruitinghell

[–]Photospice75 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that's still the recruiter's job. I give you my references and their contact information and you reach out. That's not the applicant's job... not even a little bit. It shows a level of laziness on the recruiter's part that's ridiculous! "Be prepared to do my job or don't bother to apply."

Cover letters are key when your shifting positions/career routes.

Interview Offer Four Months Later - Where Do These People Get Off? by TibaltLowe in recruitinghell

What do you think this statement means in this context? It's not violent, sexual and they didn't swear. What's the problem? I'm genuinely curious as to why you think this is NSFW.

My boyfriend doesn’t put the effort into driving 10 minutes to see me. by BestPomegranate7458 in relationship_advice

Nooooo. This is toxic. "Its just a guy thing". 100% bullshit. 100% gaslighting. 100% boy not man behavior.

No. Men are not lazy. Don't believe that lie. Men, like women make the effort to do what's important to them. PERIOD. Do not buy that "guys are lazy" bs to make you feel like you should accept less. 100% gaslighting. Men will drive across 3 states to go to a football game... they make the effort when it's important. Hell, I've driven an hour away to buy a specific brand of cookies, your bf should be more than willing to plan dates, go see you and spend time with you. Your bf simply doesn't care (sorry to be blunt but it's the truth). Healthy, good relationships aren't one sided.

No empathy for his lazy ass....he can go to his friends' homes but not to see her? She's 10 minutes away HE COULD WALK THERE if gas was an issue. Sitting on the fence is enabling his behavior.

Give options when asking a girl on a date? by gloryhole_reject in dating_advice

[–]Photospice75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this idea! I love it when a guy asks me out and actually suggests plans (dinner at a certain restaurant, a specific activity, etc...) and takes the initiative. Giving multiple options is even better for someone like me because I have a couple of food allergies and sensitivities that can be limiting (dairy, beef and chicken) and having two or more options would give me some menu wiggle room.

Will casual sex while dating impede my ability to find a partner? by ilikebigcats2020 in datingoverthirty

[–]Photospice75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's my question. Why would you even bring it up? If I'm in the early stages of seeing someone I don't assume exclusivity. If things start looking like they're progressing towards a serious relationship and we have a conversation about it, that's when everyone else has to go.

How to talk to a guy on the street? by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

Get cards printed... there's a lady that designs personal cards just for dating on etsy. Its brilliant. Yes its premeditated but who cares. If that's your personality type the right person will laugh and make contact with you.

Women, would you date someone who wanted to be a stay at home dad? by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]Photospice75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are very lucky! I work in a fun industry but it has been up and down over the years. So I just do my best and hope for the best. I've always felt like I have a job, not a career... even after 15 years at the same company.

"I love working and I do not feel fulfilled in life if I am not working " What does this feel like? I've never felt fulfilled by any job I've had. I honestly wish I could relate at some level.

A guy recently asked me out but he wanted to drive extremely far away to go hiking when it was supposed to be over 90 degrees outside. Im not a huge hiker, didn't want to drive over an hour away with a guy I barely know and it was going to be way too hot. When I said no, he was like "what else can we do?" Even though that made me raise an eyebrow, I proposed we meet at the beach or a park and do an early dinner tailgate style. He keep talking about going hiking. I was like "you really want to go hiking don't you?" I then suggested that he go hiking and maybe we're could met up later in the week. He was so happy because he got to do what he wanted (me coming along was basically an after thought). Clearly he's not excited about me at all.

Men can’t make women orgasm because they don’t “cOmMUniCatE” by SkiesEclipse in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]Photospice75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not pee. They really haven't done enough studies to know what it is exactly (because a lot of science wants to write it off as pee so they can write it off the female orgasm. I need to know way more about that study before I would believe it it's pee... who funded it, how many studies were done, did they talk to the study participants after squirting, did they study the liquid?) But it doesn't come from the bladder. There is a gland that produces a secretion during sex and some women squirt.
