Yeah one of the shitty food prep type brainless jobs I applied for recently for subway or pancakes or something like that wanted a 60 second intro "fun" video. fuck off.
I'm in the public sector and so many departments are turning to this type of recruitment, and a lot of them are also scratching their heads why they keep getting people ill suited for the job.
Wow I knew shit was tough but didn't know we've come to this. Wtf could they be assessing with this high tech for a govt job? Good on ya for saying nay and telling them why.
I mean, does being able to make a shit hot tik tok actually make someone employable somewhere other than some kind of promo job?
Years and years and years ago when I was desperate and was applying for anything, I applied online for Krispy Kreme and it was legitimately an hour's worth of torturous round a bout questions which culminated in asking for you to record and send them a video of yourself pitching why you wanted to work at Krispy Kreme.
I was exhausted at that point, found some way around doing that part of the endurance marathon, and wrote a MASSIVE essay in the comments section about how horrible the whole process of applying for a job at Krispy Kreme was and how crazy it was to do all of this just to get your resume in front of someone so they could decide whether or not they were going to interview the applicant.
Several months later, they rejected my application.
Fuck. How "zany, wacky, talented and out of the box thinking" do you need to sell doughnuts?
Ive done so many of those I want to cry
