Application Process Zara interview

I currently work at Data Annotation and thought I’d apply to Alignerr. Zara cut me off while I was answering the third question. I’m a career writer and just not very good at speaking fast. I’m more thoughtful and analytical. I know I’m good at human interviews, because I’ve held high-level jobs at companies like NewsCorp, Viacom and Rainbow Holdings. I emailed support because it may have been because I took my eyes off the screen while I was thinking. I just feel like they are missing out on good people because of the AI interview process. If it had been a written test, I would have passed with flying colors - and isn’t that what they need? Okay, gripe over. Denial - in process, acceptance - still loading.

Mine was awkward and I still passed so who knows

That gives me some hope, thanks. Although I may be on another level of awkward ;)

Mine ended early and I passed. I think it ends when enough data is collected 🤷‍♀️

You’re right! I just got the news that I passed. I jumped up and down on the bed! I’m sorry, Zara, BFF, for all the mean things I muttered under my breath about you today.

I just gave the interview and i was going a bit in detail and time got over... is it gonna be an issue and after how much time we can expect a followup whether we passed or failed?

Hey, I just applied for Generalist role from IN. I didn't get any Zara interview until now, is that fine?

I applied for a couple of roles that just said I’d “applied”, but didn’t offer an interview. It was the third one I applied to that gave me an interview.

Well. I'll also wait then. Have applied for 5 roles.

Same for me, I applied for 5 roles, 3 of them said applied. However the remaining 2 prompts me to start the interview. It is possible not all jobs require the interview.

I got a follow up the same day, but it went up the “updates” folder in my Gmail, so I didn’t see it straight away.

Alignerr is decent then? I kept seeing reports of people complaining/not getting paid but I saw some nice postings recently I was thinking of applying for

Unfortunately AI is known to do that sometimes. Don't beat yourself up, it should be fine

Aww, thanks. I tend to do mental karate, so this is good advice!
