Interviews Are Getting Worse. 

About 3 years ago I did a video interview through Hirevue, you aren’t assessed by people but an algorithm that listens out for the words you use, your facial expressions and inflection. This and the gamification assessments were really off-putting aspects of job hunting.

these video interviews are humiliating and awful. I just got a new job after a month, 70 applications and cover letters, and probably 5 of these video interviews. I even got rejected from Costco after doing three rounds of interviews... I turn up on the first day and the job is entirely different to the one described on the listing, and it became immediately clear they didn't read my resume or cover letter at all. The job is easy and I need work but I can only imagine the hiring BS and jumping through hoops only gets worse once I finish my degree and start applying for more technical positions

That video interview thing is so wack. I've done aton but only for minimal wage jobs at like a grocery store. And then you have to answer several more question in text, and after that is done they ask you for your whole complete profile so you answer even more questions and add a profile picture and stuff on their job page. Those are optional but they say you are more likely to be hired if you tell them everything about you. I hate minimal wage job searching. It sucks. Edit: Just to add to this, you also have to give a personal cover letter, so basically you give them everything about you 4 times to probably not get the job. Fuck, the job market sucks so bad

I did a video interview when I was still in high school at the start of the pandemic and damn was it terrible. I re-recorded it at least 15 times and just sat there after I was done in silence. Whoever came up with the concept should have to try and do one.

I've had my hr manager openly make fun of interview videos in front of me. It's unbelievable how rude they are about it and can only do so because its not in person

Those video interviews are dystopian...

Gonna graduate college soon. Wanted to sign for an interview. They made me record a video of me answering a 3 questions. Worst experience of my life

I also did a video interview using the Kira Assessment tool for a dental school. It was the worst "interview" experience of my life because it asked a complex question that was 3 sentences long and only gave me 2 minutes to finish. To make matters worse, I was not used to recording myself, so every flaw I saw in my mannerisms (during practice) made me incredibly nervous for the actual recording. I ended up stuttering a lot and finishing only half of my answer before it cut me off. It's so weird talking to no one and only having one single take to do it. I was torn up about it for days, and I haven't heard back from that dental school in 3 months. I felt humiliated to say the least. Meanwhile, I did an actual in-person interview with a different dental school which went relatively great. I was talking to actual human beings and not to a camera on my laptop. Personally, I just feel like the video interviews are not a fair assessment of someone's character/interviewing capabilities.

My current job I had to do an online interview and I was the only 1 out of about 1000 applicants who got the job. It was scary

I hate having to do those freaking personality tests when applying to be a ski lift operator, I’m going to work hard and show up on time, why do you want to know precisely how extroverted I am?

Did a hireview interview some weeks back. The company thankfully had some good videos giving me an introduction to the process and they were generous with attempts allowed and prep time between attempts. Was a good half an hour of questions in total. I heard back a week later! Had a behavior interview with real folks over video call and honestly did super well. Hoping the tech interview goes well and I can report back that I did actually get a job after doing hireview as the first step.

Years ago I did an interview to work at Chitpole for an entry level job. Everyone I saw including myself were well dressed, meanwhile this one kid comes in with brown cargo shorts and a t-shirt and carrying a coka-cola bottle. I didn't get the job but I went into the same Chitpotle a week later and saw the kid working there. Needless to say he must've knew something I didn't to get the job

Brian david gilbert has the best video interview ever uploaded here in youtube but I don't think most companies would let that slide

I did one of these once, never again, waste of time. Lazy on the employers part and you're never gonna hear back from it

I love the GIGASMUG emote, maybe the background could be dimmed or cut out or something but its so good and can be applied to so many situations

I did one of those virtual "interview" things last spring for a plasma donation company, it was just a precursor to an in-person interview. I didn't get anything because they don't hire seasonal workers and I go to university out of state. Tangentially all of my family's suggestions also did not accept seasonal workers, including Target.

Before I got to do a Hirevue interview, I had to do a 40 question exam showing I knew basic reading and math, and a 30 question exam that had “no wrong answers” but was very clearly skewed.

I think we live in an unfortunate reality where who you know/are related to is FAR more important than any other qualification. Like maybe I'm just being silly but it definitely feels like in the last few decades people will no longer take a chance on a random new hire, you HAVE to have an in at the company.

Hirevue is the worst type of dystopian cyberpunk technology and of course THATS the one that actually became real

In switzerland cover letters are super important for some reason and they fucking suck to make

I’m so excited that I’ll never have to do video recorded interviews. Feel bad for the people graduating and looking for jobs now.

At one of my previous jobs they used to use the video interview a TON. During one of my interviews for a management position one of the questions was "What makes you a great leader?" and there was a little bit of lag at the start of my answer so I went to click redo and instead hit submit so my boss just got a video that was me taking a breath to start answering, pausing for a sec and then stopping the video...Shit ruled.

I just realized that marketing monday has a double meaning. Both for marketing as in advertising and economical markets. Genius name ngl.

I had one of those video interviews just the other day. I did the exact same thing the sky west gal did. Except I know for a fact that they said I get two chances to answer each question. That was a fucking lie lmao. I just immediately exited the interview after that. They then scheduled a phone interview that I'm doing tomorrow. Talking to an actual person makes it so much easier, idk why though. I am extremely introverted but doing that video interview was the worst thing ever lmao

I had a virtual meet and greet with walmart about a month ago and those fuckers never called and didnt pick up when i tried calling them.

"what is your impression of our culture" is such a stupid question. I am going to be asking you about your company culture not the other way around lol

When I "auditioned" for a job in another state it was like a VOD you couldn't re-record and I told them I would rank the associates last when it came to employees, customers, or upper management. I got the job

What a fun title to see when I have my first ever interview tomorrow 😃

I hate those prompt interviews, I stuttered through it, would of felt more comfortable talking to a human.

This thumbnail is funny as a teenager who got hired from Walmart without a single interview 😂

Spouse is deaf, these kinds of video interviews are explicitly discriminatory and illegal.

Funniest timing I just had to do one of these for a retail job I applied for, weirdest shit, but honestly I prefer it to a job deciding on me by just resume especially in retail and what not

"Please waste time writing a cover letter for us and the 10 other companies you are applying to so that we know you really want the jobs." - HR "TLDR lawl" - HR

I was wondering why I got interview recordings in my feed. This explains it.

I did one of these for Yik Yak in college. Most awkward experience I've ever gone through.

i did video interviews when i was applying for news stations. they want u to record yourself basically doing a cover letter

BTW at the end KodaBear said quality control

Lol big A finding out about how all the Canadian banks 'interview' for internships

Had to do a video pre-interview back in 2018. It sends a randomized question and gives you 90 seconds to think then gives you 60 seconds recorded to answer. And it didn't let you review anything. Managed to get the job but goddam that was a rough pre-interview.

I did one back in 2021 for a summer job as a lifeguard at a theme park. I don't know why they would use this since they hired literally anyone who applied.

Had one about a year and a half ago for an internship. Didn’t get the internship. Applied for another internship with the same company this year. Got an internship and didn’t have to do the prescreen.

I did one of these for an engineering internship recently. I did end up getting it, but honestly the video interview felt mostly like something to see if you would do it, than an actual assessment. No one once asked me any skill based questions, idk how they know I'm qualified P.S: they added a second attempt, probably to prevent that one poor woman's problem

goated background song

I did do one to become an RA, and I did get through the prescreening and then had to do a group interview process AND then another interview individually that was exactly the same as the video but live. I was stupid and just said sure to do the RA for the living-learning community, so I had to do another interview for that. I did get it and was not fired. They doubled the pay the next year, though, but hired me for a worse position that I declined. Apparently, the management went to shit and I got a bunch of scholarships so I kinda still won

i did one during covid and after i landed the job i was talking to the recruiter and he said he thought they were dumb, never looked at them, and only did it cuz HR wanted to

5:45 best buy

Ive done one of these automated video interviews got no response

Companies will soon start asking for highlight videos from previous jobs

He's like targets beneath me lol

if i ever get into a interview and see atrioc as the recruiter id be ecstatic

another fire clip big a

I wouldn’t even apply for a job that tried to make me take an aptitude test or record a one way interview. I also don’t apply for any jobs that require a cover letter unless it’s for a company I actually like.

I did one of these when applying for best buy (geek squad iirc) and it was rhe most embarrassing thing ive ever done. I dont even take pictures of myself. It was so fucking awkward.

I had to make a video to apply for McDonalds in Denmark in like 2018. Felt so weird and awkward to record. No surprise I didn’t get it

Back when I worked at McDonald's in the 2010's, we got 1 free meal on days we worked, so that might be real. The Healthcare, though? Is that just the state insurance? Mn state insurance isn't bad. They actually covered all but $3 for medicine when I used them back then

Yeah I was posting on the MM discord about how much I hate them 🥴. Am actually pretty OP in person to person interviews but they're just shit. No way to gauge the tonenyou should use

I did a video interview for Target in 2021 and actually landed a job there. You only got three resets for like 6 questions and your responses had to be about a minute. I think I did alright but I believe they were very desperate for the holidays coming up.

God.. I hate hireview interviews. I always fail them despite doing the practice session. Watching the timer turns off my brain.

THEN WHY DO THEY ASK FOR THEM!?!?!?!?

Not me legit doing this for an internship 2 hours ago

I did one for a security guard job. Took 45 minutes. It was like 15 questions that we had to answer right away within 3 minutes. It felt like it was designed to see if you would falter in a stressful situation. I got the job btw

kodabear said he works in quality control

I was supposed to do one of these but I straight up didn't do it and they reached out to me for a f2f interview instead lmao. Got the job though and now I'm a software engineer.

Delta Airlines dude

i did a video interview for vodafone once. that shit is awful.

Lmfao one of the colleges im applying to has one of these 💀

Thanks god iam an engineer and I dont have To do any of this shit. Cant even remember when I would have written cv. Maybe at school

I'm pretty sure Nvidia had me do a video interview back in 2021

If you want free food work at a pizza place, not a chain tho.

Big A, tighten the screw on your microphone, it’s loose!

I got an internship doing that

Chatgbt has to be the worst coding ai out there when it comes to trying to do statistics. I don’t think it got a single question correct the entire semester when I tried lol

Dude really waited 15 seconds then dropped the fuck after skipping the shit's 😂 micro humor ftw

Its honestly so much worse. An AI scans your video and will prescreen if you dony have enough inflection on keywords. So if you have the slightest nuerodivergence youre fked

this is assuming you can even get an interview/call back now a days. ive applied for 15 jobs and have gotten contacted by 1 and then left on ghost when i replied

AATRIOC PLEASE LET ME SHARE MY VIDEO INTERVIEW WITH YOU ON THE STREAM IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE ROLLERCOASTER SPANNING NEARLY 5 MONTHS

I work for Walmart, and they actually don't have any job interview for entry-level jobs. I just got a call one day, and they said I had the job after an online application. CLICKBAIT

I've seen my friend do a video interview lol

They definitely give u free food at McDonald’s If you close

I have done literally 6 hirevues this month

Did one not too long ago, got the offer for the job. But the job listing was for ‘Digital Marketing’ and the offer itself was door-to-door cold calls. Video interview process was lengthy and pretty random and didn’t really seem to filter anyone, as when I showed up for the in-person interview, it was WITH another person. Like with another active applicant. I didn’t accept the position. I still need a job. Why is interviewing like this.

At first I loved the background music but in the end my ears where hurting.

How did chat not link erobbs streamable application. Disappointed in yall

Actually maybe apply for CEO of Google because you'd probably be more interesting than the current guy 😂

As someone who works in recruitment the reason you actually do virtual interviews is to save time from meeting hundreds of people first high volume roles. You’re not using it to ask illegal Qs although might differ in USA. I’ve worked on the other side of that for grad recruitment and had to watch about 300 graduate interviews. The best were then invited for in person 2nd round.

I hate this so much, this tool just allows discrimination to happen. For Examples: -if the interview candidate is pregnant and they don't want to pay maternity leave. -Someone that speaks AAVE or has a heavy accent. -Colour, gender, or any physical appearance would be judged before someone sees your resume.

Yea, but what was the job, KodaBear82388?!
