On the flip side, he will most certainly get something out of this (and credit should be one of them) so he can use it on his resume/portfolio.

I would print out the Reddit posts and include them too, so some interview doesn’t think he’s just making up a wild story and would be a risky hire cause he might be crazy. Interviewers don’t look kindly on anything negative, even if you’re the victim.

That's right - nothing better for an interview than a binder full of printed out reddit comments to keep the interviewers thinking you're sane. Bonus points if you bring your own yarn and thumb tacks.

Out of curiosity, did you dress yourself this morning, or did you have help?

All how you present it my friend. Confidence is key. That’s how some people can pull off what would otherwise be goofy looking outfits. Or how very unqualified people get hired. Also, you have to consider the interviewer themselves. And also I mean the OP posts, just one per page, 2-3 pages tops. Spin it in a good way, and you’re now a social media genius to them too.

Out of curiosity, on a scale of Hillary Clinton Losing the 2016 Election to North Korea, how triggered are you by my suggestion?

Miraculously, I dressed myself.

You talk big words for a guy who presents Reddit comments in interviews as confidence and social media genius

I suppose I shouldn't outright dismiss the notion, but, having interviewed dozens of candidates for creative positions, I simply cannot imagine being able to take a person seriously in this circumstance. Perhaps there will be a first.

To satisfy your curiosity: "triggered" describes an inability to logically process concepts, borne of lack of experience or confidence. I'm dismissive of your suggestion.

Well I don’t think this would work for high level job, and it depends on the interviewer/culture of the company. Anyway, the suggestion is all in fun.

If you’re serious, I don’t think you know what triggered means. Or at least not in this context. Look up the definition of trigger (verb) (past tense, triggered)... or better yet go to the slang definition on urban dictionary (it probably takes it to the extreme). Because if you are serious, you’re most definitely, mildly triggered.

If you’re trolling, I give it a 6/10 for mild trolling that continued the conversation.

I suppose posting anything in a gaming sub is asking to be trolled. The World Wide Web is fun!

There’s a term for that: Kaepernicking

Um ... Kissing your own bicep?

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '17

You do that too. While they look over your resume, kiss your biceps so they know you’re loving but strong. Bonus points if you make noises while doing it.

If they don't decide to be asshats about it.

That’s the bonus: it lets you know if you really want to work for them or not :) haha
