I had a meeting with a young person who had to have the concept of a directory structure explained to them for a half hour...and they're in charge of designing a file browser. 🤦‍♂️

I don't think the exercise was even successful.

    I'm pretty sure the people who do interviews are not the ones who have to train them. Also, if you use chat gpt for writing your cover letter, structuring your CV, running interview prep etc etc. You don't even really need to be literate to come across as pretty put together.

    Interviewers look for excess confidence, not skill

    i guess i'm not getting hired for any work ever then.. i just want to work and do my work well, not play their sick mindgames or pretend to be someone i'm not. I dont have any motivation to force myself to do work on fields outside my education either anymore.
