Ugh I got an email like that just a few days ago. “Make a 3min video explaining why you want to work for us and what you bring to the table”. I sway back and forth between refusing to be their stupid dancing monkey and being desperate enough for a new job to consider it. The company itself seems like a shitshow (an AI startup that works with insurance companies) but the job posting itself is in exactly the niche I like with the exactly the technologies I specialize in and the pay is extremely competitive. Honestly idk if I’m gonna go for it or if I have any ounce of self-respect.

I tried convincing my friend of this but she really, really believes that she just needs to add more skills to her resume.

It’s bad. Very bad. I spent the past month or so looking for my first job out or school. And so many places make you jump through hoops or have humiliation session interviews. The place I accepted the offer from called me once for screening. Then set up a technical interview. The technical interview was half of it talking about who I am. What I like to do. What I want to work on etc. and the other half them explaining what the job is, why it’s a great opportunity etc. Next day I got the offer. Simplest process ever and not humiliating at all. Felt like the exception. There are decent people out there still.
