Also, every interview:
"So, why do you want to work with us, specifically?"
Well, specifically, I need money for housing, bills, and food.
Also, specifically, you gave me an interview so I'm now really interested in working...at wherever this place is. That's it, really.
...
I mean, yeah, I could blow smoke up your arse if you really wan me to. But I would hope you'd have the intelligence to realise that it's bullshit and that nowadays it's all about money. I whore my time out and you give me money. When do I start?
I had an interview recently where they spent almost half of it just trying to sell me on the company itself and how they work rather than asking why I wanted to work there. It was honestly refreshing, hope I get to work there
I hope you get it too. Its nice to find somewhere you vibe with.
The paranoid part of me warns that the company doing nothing but try to sell you on how good they are to work for may be a sign of desperation and problems hiring on their part, but I wasn't in the room. I'm sure you got a good sense of how genuine they were in person.
Oh it was less what it's like to work there and more the guy excitedly info dumping on what they're building. He made it clear it would be hard work lol, but that's fine with me if it's actually something cool
Damn this sounds interesting! Good luck 🍀
[puts hand on sholder] They arn't *intelligence enough to realise that it's bullshit and that nowadays it's all about money. * Managers specificly are paid to drink the coolaid, unless your being hired by a triple threat (can do the job, manage people, and spin it all for managment above them) your going to be stuck working for some peter principal shmuck who is probably good enough at one of those things.
Not to be too pesimistic but your job is to blow smoke, unless your working for yourself or you managed to find one of those unicorn bosses. In the latter case, do what you can to be along for their ride.
They know it’s bs and want to hire fellow people who can spew bs
Exactly. You can’t possibly submit over 100 applications per week while also using any kind of reasonable discretion about wether the job is something you actually want to do, that you can actually do competently, somewhere that you can reasonably do it. You’re just an application shotgun at that point and you’re wasting the time of everyone involved.
