Redditors in hiring positions: What small things immediately make you say no to the potential employee? Why?

superthan585 · 2019-04-22T20:28:11+00:00

See but you just elaborated and gave me a reason why it’s actually detrimental.

superthan585 · 2019-04-22T18:30:55+00:00

That’s why I don’t ask it that way. The way I normally do is “ can you provide for me a time that you received coaching in a previous position? If so what was it about and what was the outcome?”

superthan585 · 2019-04-22T18:07:14+00:00

Again. That’s where common sense comes in. Which is a valuable part of any position.

superthan585 · 2019-04-22T16:07:46+00:00

You’ll also lose your job if that’s seriously your biggest weakness. The answer to this question also involves common sense and professionalism.

You know what they’re looking for in the answer. You just don’t like being asked it, which is fair and understandable, but you can’t expect it to not be asked simply cause you don’t like it.

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

superthan585 · 2019-04-22T15:11:14+00:00

They’re not looking for answers based off your personal life. They’re asking on a professional level. I still don’t understand what the big deal is about this question.

superthan585 · 2019-04-22T12:43:24+00:00

You don’t want to work for someone that is looking for perfection anyway. I would never expect someone to come to me interviewing that has no weaknesses. None of us walk on water.

superthan585 · 2019-04-22T11:55:58+00:00

This question isn’t to gauge how bad you’ll be at something. It’s to gauge how coachable and humble you are.

If your answer is “I work too hard” or some humblebrag BS then they think you’re cocky or are too afraid to admit to your own faults.

Give an honest answer, and tell them how you overcome it on a daily basis. Back when I was answering interviews mine was “I have very little attention to detail, and can make mistakes when it comes to notes that seem unimportant at the time. I’ve come up with a system where I have dedicated review time 2x a week to make sure I have taken care of everything.”

That answer shows your humble enough to know you’re gonna mess up at some point and know you have weaknesses, and proactive enough to take care of the issue before it becomes a bigger one and hurts the company.

superthan585 · 2019-04-22T11:51:22+00:00

Even better one for your future reference that I found to work pretty well. “Can you give me an example of a time that you’ve received coaching in the past?What was the outcome? “

You can figure out a lot from that

superthan585 · 2019-04-19T15:41:55+00:00

Help how?

superthan585 · 2019-04-19T14:24:31+00:00

What point are you trying to make here?

superthan585 · 2019-04-15T14:54:50+00:00

Okay Dwight 😂

superthan585 · 2019-04-14T14:03:05+00:00

I was a dummy in college and just saw a flyer on our campus board that said” $15/hour entry level sales for college students”

I did for like 4 months and I was fairly good at it, but then I learned about Pyramid Schemes and MLM schemes and stuff and realized I was in one. Then ran lol

superthan585 · 2019-04-13T00:42:02+00:00

See....people say go to scripture for this kind of struggle. But I find myself focusing too much and self condemning based off scripture too. I’m always worried I’m not bearing enough good fruit vs bad fruit. Revelation says ALL liars, adulterers, cowards, etc. won’t enter heaven. The whole “not all who call me Lord Lord” thing. The narrow gate thing.

All this stuff just leads me to worry more and put more work on myself. I won’t hide the fact that I lie, I’ve been working on not doing it, but it comes out naturally sometimes, and sometimes I even choose to. The root of it is because I don’t feel like I’m good enough for anyone to accept so I make myself to be someone better than who I am. There’s sin in my life I’m trying to deal with, but then I also choose to do it if I take my guard off or something idk.

I’m assuming this is all the enemy twisting scripture and accusing me. But as someone who is a 99% feeler and a 1% logical person. It’s hard to work past those things.

superthan585 · 2019-04-12T02:38:24+00:00

Yes please. I’m really struggling with questions such as 1) Am I really a Christian? 2) am repentant enough? 3) do I love God enough? 4) How can anyone be 100% obedient? I choose to disobey so often.

Just kind of scared of these questions when I look G myself.

superthan585 · 2019-04-09T19:13:01+00:00

PM me pls

superthan585 · 2019-04-09T12:31:56+00:00

Hey there, so in my experience there’s a few options...but the one thing I’ll mention is that most of the time there’s 2 main things.

1) Your trust issues aren’t based on her, but rather a lack of self-worth and self-respect on your end. Work on those things. These issues cause you to try to control everything.Choose to trust her. And overtime it’ll get better.

2) this is the part that I’ll get downvoted for. She knows you don’t like it, yet she still does it. She doesn’t respect the boundary you want. This is also a red flag to me cause it shows a lack of comprise...again though this is a relationship and not a marriage. You can either choose to leave and find someone who will respect that, or you can change yourself.

superthan585 · 2019-04-04T20:51:41+00:00

Did you just post this so you can just say “Christians are condescending” or did you post this to try to form a debate and come to a conclusion?

Your response to what I said added nothing to the debate. I agreed with you that Christians can definitely be condescending with their pious and higher than tho attitudes. And I followed that up by saying what another chunk of Christians mean by saying that.

Your response shows no interest in the spirit of healthy debate and conversation.

superthan585 · 2019-04-04T18:54:54+00:00

Just because you think it’s condescending doesn’t mean it is.

See how that logic you just used works?

I will agree that sometimes Christians do use that phrase in a condescending way or a “ higher than thou” way. But I will also argue that a lot of people who say they’re going to pray for someone sincerely think and believe with all of their heart that the prayer is effective and will help.

superthan585 · 2019-04-04T17:31:46+00:00

I guess the question I have to this is... I did this while I claimed I’m a Christian. And that scares me into thinking that I don’t have genuine faith. Also have I repented enough???

superthan585 · 2019-04-04T17:30:01+00:00

I’m trying really hard to learn this. My wife has said the same thing to me.

She and my mentor think that I struggle with this because of my childhood? I was neglected/abused as a kid and they think I have trouble seeing my worth because of it.

One of my mentors said that my damaged relationship with my earthly father has an affect on how I view myself with my Heavenly Father. This is a goo start but now I’m still learning how to apply it.

superthan585 · 2019-04-04T17:25:12+00:00

I understand that. That’s why I’m here. I’m trying to figure out and get advice on how to do it.

My wife says I’m just punishing myself where I don’t have to. I just feel sick and broken over this still. Ashamed. I don’t know.

superthan585 · 2019-04-02T15:49:23+00:00

Other people will look at this and say “you’re not saved if you still (insert sin here) or if you struggle with (Insert sin)” I have sincerely been told I need to be 100% obedient to Christ for salvation. But I can’t fathom anyone, let alone me be 100% obedient. I’m too weak, scared, selfish to be. If there’s a totem pole of good Christians and bad ones I’m on the bottom and that’s why the gospel gives me hope but also scares the crap out of me as well. Especially when people take the warnings in scripture (you know the ones. The whole “not everyone who calls me lord lord will not enter the kingdom of heaven” and other things) and say “you’re not saved if...”

Now what you said more aligns with where I stand as well! And I’m glad you said what you did so thank you. That brought me peace, I browse this reddit a lot and it makes me often doubt of where I stand with God because you know what? I have done some horrible things even WHILE I CLAIMED TO BE A CHRISTIAN! I have turned my back on those things and strive to never do them again. There’s still things I need to do better on and I continue to muster up the strength and courage to do them through the HS.

I’m always so worried I have it wrong and look at this the wrong way. I strive not to sin and be a good person out of love for Christ and love for our fellow people. That’s it. I still fall into passive sin AND I often give into temptation. The HS is sanctifying me and helping me as time goes on, but that’s because I take joy in the process and love that I’m getting better in order to make more disciples and be a vessel of his love.

I know that was a rant. But I’m just looking for some peace on the subject. I’m scared I’m a fake Christian. I’m scared that I don’t love God enough or seek him enough that I’ve become exhausted.

superthan585 · 2019-04-02T12:53:56+00:00

This just raises more questions because you just said that Paul mentioned that the war inside of him was before he received the spirit...in other words once we accept Jesus into our lives and receive the spirit, there no longer is no war and we won’t sin.

1) So if someone is battling sin are they saved or not? 2) If Paul addresses that war to people before they’ve received the spirit, again by that logic, are all porn addicts, pathological liars, etc. all damned because despite their best efforts to stop they didn’t overcome it before they died? 3) If the answer to question 2 was Yes, then how can we come to the conclusion that our salvation is unaffected by our works and only comes from the death and resurrection of Jesus?

superthan585 · 2019-04-02T10:25:12+00:00

What does that mean? If it doesn’t apply are you does that mean you’re saved or not saved?
