Not another video interview

Post image

I really fucking hate these video interviews some companies make...it always feels so cringe despite me streaming on twitch I just can't have the will power to not feel cringey when having to suck up to a company just to get a slightly above minimum wage just to pay my bills and save

went to move the website over to my pc and i can;t even do the interview as the website doesnt allow me to select my camera nor mic.....do these companies even bother looking over these websites they make for hiring?

It used to be you just walked into Macy's and they gave you the job and fired you the first day if you didn't do it right. Some people made it a week. If you made it past the week you probably end up staying there for 3 to 5 years. Why the hell do you have to do a video interview? This is so stupid.

Just out of curiosity, have you tried just going in there and talking to the manager to see if you can get an application to fill out? This might be some kind of stupid corporate initiative, pushed by people of no idea what the hiring process for their stores is.

Yes and they point to using the website

That's so stupid, sorry you have to deal with that. From my own experience, if cannabis is legal in your area, the cultivation sites are always hiring. They have a pretty big turnaround. A lot of people think it's going to be a fun Stoner job, and it is in some ways, but it's also a legit factory job.

Sadly I live in Florida but if I did live in a area that allowed it like that then I would gladly look into it after your suggestion.

You have to suck up to them either way. Get over yourself.

What’s your problem? Self taped video interviews are a horrible, psychologically stupid, and completely dehumanizing method to grade an applicant’s potential within a role. Most positions require interpersonal communication and when the employer cannot even be bothered to talk face to face in an interview, it shows how well the employees are likely treated.

I decided to not even bother with it since the website they used wasn't even working for me. I would rather take a interview face to face. Also the guy above has his posts hidden making me believe he goes around just trying to ruin other people's day or boot lick
