Linus Applied for a Job at Amazon... 

Drop shipping is popular though.

Like pricing for tech.

He can't keep getting away with it!

Bezos may not be a billionaire

@@arakwar Linus drops things more times than the entire shipping industry combined lol

😂😂

Sebastian's Advices for Technical Advances ;)

Taran Tech Tips: TTT.

LTTT --> Linus Total Tech Tips

Sebastian Tech Discussions: STD

Agreed, it’s all bots now especially at big companies

yep, i applied to a job locally that wanted 5 year experience in a tech that was 1 year old at the time. I received an auto denial.

@@adamm2716 please tell me you where the person who invented the tech. Would make it even better

@@bastiannenke7101 hahah that would have been great. Nope im just some loser

He did say that.

Have they water-cooled a remote or a mouse? I'd watch that

Its going to happen, and you know it

@@nikhilb1502 I can't wait for it XD

Headphone cooling is actually a good idea

I haven't seen that one. LOL Shouldn't suprise me, it is LTT.

Ah they aren’t actually that bad

@@funkemunky You're right, you need an Ivy League Post Doc & 2 noble peace prizes.

@VaderxG Possibly the greatest comment ever created.

@VaderxG Amazon would also prefer it if you surgically removed your bladder so you won’t have to go to the bathroom

For 14-15$ HR

that happens quite often these days. :P

Yea, kinda funny. In and out without a trace

at first i thought her hair got caught on the door or something LUL

4:50

left the door open smh

What happened to him

Yeh

@@DenzelHooke He’s running floatplane. Other than WAN Show, he’s not really in videos anymore.

@@Arvulus Which is smart given how unreliable RU-vid can be and how their monetization policies seem to change on the fly. Other RU-vidrs have gone and started Nebulae which partners with Curiosity Stream for the same reason.

Saaaame

OMEGALUL

In the film industry too. I just make a post saying “I’m looking for a job” and somehow within days I’ve got an inbox filled with recruiters

In the tech space Linkedin is amazing, I usually have queue of recruiters contacting me which was a life saver when I wanted to change jobs

No idea what this dude is talking about for twitter. Also, assholes are on twitter.

As someone in working in mortgage operations I can confirm it’s a very hollow Bs esque social space of ‘connections’ where everyone is as shallow and emotionless to be shown for selection to employers like cattle to filter out every individual to their exact specifications, without a degree I wouldn’t have even been invited in the door…

@@funnyberries4017 OMG LinkedIn just doesn't get video/film. I'm a video producer and editor and I'm getting offers for technical writing, product marketing, and copy editing.

14 leadership principles?

@@maledetto1221 It's like some code that the company lives by. HR type stuff that covers ethics, behaviour, attitude etc. I was so annoyed because I spent months doing technical study only to have a 4 hour therapy session lol

What you mean? I got a warehouse job offer on the spot at amazon! 🤣

@@hellotheir1427 he was probably applying for a software development position.

@@MrIndiemusic101 or business development or as a data center technician or any of the numerous skilled labor fields with the same corporate culture indoctrination requirements, but yeah you probably right

He would have more than paid for it though. You need a degree in social engineering when half those people don’t have remotely as much real world experience. Amazon would have probably killed RU-vid at that rate.

Was thinking the same. I'm in manufacturing engineering and it's very significant for networking and recruiting. And I'm 8 years younger than Linus, so hardly a boomer thing.

In a lot of sectors, especially in the states, the saying goes: "If you're not LinkedIn, you're left out."

@@ZesPak Sounds like an advertising slogan for LinkedIn.

It's still a disgrace that some emoloyers don't even have the manners to tell you that you've been rejected. At this point they should be able to either automate it or have copy-pasta templates they could send out. 🤦‍♂️

@Tyler I've actually had companies respond to me saying something along the lines of 'we've found someone more qualified than you for this position'.

@@griffinhealy200 Yeah, but you know that's bullshit as well

Want to start a YT channel together? lol

@@griffinhealy200 i more like they don't sent anything instead like that, it kinda depressing for me

yeah good luck going to every aplicant you get LOL

Its the Tech industry, If your sole qualification is a degree for a position..........you are going to fail as a corporation. The entire industry is amateurs, it started out of a garage or a basement from armchair warriors, no one worth any salt has a degree in a tech field, most quit school because colleges were only teaching what people already knew, My cousin went to Drexel(software engineering) and took a hardware course, I had to actually teach him hardware because their literature was based on Dual Core from over a decade ago, and you wonder why Programmers are god awful at using modern instruction sets fully utilizing hardware, their hardware background is based on F&*king dual core, let that sink in as to why it took almost a decade to finally start seeing quad cores with Threads starting to be utilized. Also formal education I noticed teaches the same sloppy shortcuts and wrong code executions that have been repeated since the 60's-knock that shit off, I have seen Drivers that are just a complete mess and you wonder why Hardware doesn't work right from low level software engineers that are second rate. The best way to learn is to actually pick it up yourself, paying for a few books and teaching yourself, the only reason for taking classes is specialized equipment certifications, like specific networking types.

I've seen that at every corporation that I've worked at. We have a manager with a degree in underwater basket weaving that got hired as a safety manager with zero experience in safety. A fellow employee applied for the same job and previously was the safety manager at delta airlines and he got turned down because he didnt have a degree.

It comes down to filtering applicants. HR wants a streamlined means of filtering out "unqualified" people. Setting a degree requirement is a non-effort way to do that.

Depends on the industry. I work in plant operations (this is industrial boilers, refrigeration, generators, and turbines) and you have to have a certificate to get in as an operator, and I agree with that. Sometimes they grandfather people in who worked in plants before the qualifications were necessary.

I guess we found the source of the decline in workers quality.

Bro you are everywhere

u again lol

He is now. Not back when he applied.

I see this guy in different genre of videos, he's everywhere.

@@stalin8684 Yup, it's especially weird for me because he was the first RU-vid channel I ever subbed in like 2010 or something when all he did was piano covers. Now 10 years later and he's commenting on every video in my feed.

He's turning into a cuddly teddybear

Lol

@@roebbiej No , he is turning into a tunnel bear 🐻

@@KaushikVirivinti oh... I see what you did there.

Didn't Luke always have a beard situation.

So, do you have like ten LinkedIn accounts now?

Actually untrue. I've seen quality RU-vid channels go from 50k subs to 500k in the span of a few months. It's all about abusing the algorithm.

@@the_bath3235 yeah well they have 50k subs. If you have 10 subs even by trying to abuse the algorithm you won’t get anywhere, since it’s going to depend on your videos engagement. Someone with a few subs won’t have high engagement

@@-SP. i also disagree, the stats and experiments along research made has showed how easier is to blow up on youtube nowadays, the main problem is to keep that audience and its the main reason you see a lot of channels with 1 video with million views and the rest of it is dead

I mean, he’s done that a couple times with second channels

@@Qyver But like he said it was also very different time back then. Discoverability was so so much worse and much more total sub based, companies were also way less social media savy. Them getting any stuff to review outside of the close contacts Linus had made, and those contacts being able to sell it to their bosses that it made sense to send products for near zero sub channel would have been hard.

Not true, a company like Amazon in most cases would hire recruiters who know what the job actually entails. People just say this to make themselves feel better about not getting a job. Sometimes skills just don't come across so well on resumés

I had a system admin ask me to apply for a position where he was working(I know the software he needed a new hire for). We tried to get me in 3 times before giving up because HR wouldn’t approve it. They thought I needed 8 years of networking when the jobs primary focus was the software but could never get them to understand. Lol

@@jonsnider8677 yup my senior can't get his friend hired who has 6 years in our framework purely cuz of HR

?

@@brokenshadows9357 THE BABY

@@jacobg492 What about it?

@@brokenshadows9357 You don't know attic joke? 😂😂😂😂😂

Lol that lil Ninja got YANKED out of there...not in a bad way by the way just in a "C'mere ya liddle rascal" way!

I subscribed 8 Years ago!

There’s no street smarts in law

Well she is Linus' daughter after all 😉 get it?

Anyone can do that

Its tough out there for a gangsta

Ok boomer

Bro ur so cool and edgy bro don’t forget to tweet about how you’ll cry yourself to sleep tonight

@@TheMrKeksLp Its true tho. Got also all 3 of my jobs and like almost all people i know its all true LinkedIn

Yeah LinkedIn is used for like every other job besides Linus Tech tips. Like I still love yall just saying it does mean lot to the corporate world and small business.

I should update mine. Haven’t looked at it since 2014, when one of my professors made it an assignment to set up account.

I dont use it much but have lots of recruiters message me through it

In the IT/Business space (in the US), linkedin is pretty active. We can't make assumptions about how it works for their industry and geographic location.

@@alkaliaurange I'm sure LinkedIn is not very useful for the top .1% in terms of social status. The point is he said LinkedIn isn't used overall which is clearly false

Maybe it depends on which area you are working on. Because I do agree with Luke and Linus, I've only ever gotten ONE job thanks to LinkedIn, and it was from people who were clueless about actual marketing and media. That aside, I've only been contacted that way for people 50+ years old who still believe stuff like home office meaning you're wanking yourself all day instead of doing your job. As a former IT, I have realized that, aside of companies actively and aggressively looking for low payment IT employees to urgently fix some yoke for 15 dollars and a coke, people don't really care about LinkedIn and it is mostly a fancy and hand ready way of showing my portfolio and the last person I worked for. If I want a job, I go to the Careers section on companies' website and drop my portfolio there.

@@chromab7713 wow that really sucks. For me LinkedIn: exists Recruiter: want an interview at Top company? Like twice a week. I don't have to apply anywhere anymore.

I genuinely can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not

TheSuper Stomper would love to know 😂

Yeah it's easy to get interest from recruiters if you're already working. Companies see unemployed as a red flag.

@@thesuperstomper4776 In some countries (like mine) LinkedIn is pretty big. It's one of the main sources of searching for employment. I've done a number of interviews where a recruiter has reached out to me on LinkedIn

@@thesuperstomper4776 Not at all. Maybe I'm just lucky, but my second major tech job I got from LinkedIn. I don't just let my profile sit there. I also go through the job search engine daily. It could also be the nature of my work. I work in Data centre infrastructure. And it's not as saturated as the coders and software developers.

It shows where they want to progress though. You have to realize they are a team of 70-100 people and are hiring all the time.

Yes, we read the title.

Most people do it for their CV.

It’s usually so you can negotiate for a higher pay at other companies. Having one of the big 4 tech giants on your resume is a pretty good long term investment

In my country (India), getting a job in amazon is like a fucking dream, you wont be able to attend any interviews, as they only come for campus interviews, even then you need a CPGA of at least 9.0 in a reputable university, then you may get a job with an average of salary of 700k rupees (~9.5K US$) per year, right after college.

It's a gateway career stepping stone. A lot of developers will swallow the 2-3 year tenure at Amazon and then look for (much-more lucrative) opportunities elsewhere. It's the same attitude that people have with Ivy-league colleges-- sometimes a institution on your resume is enough to attract high-profile attention.

@@johnlara1365 I feel like this is only part of the story. Most probably you can negotiate better due to your notable projects or experience it is probably enough if your academic work was fairly good and thematically close to what you are doing or going to do at your next employer.

Not the editor Taran we all know and love eh?
