That's where you fucked up.

>They're basically equivalent to movies or television but as a form of interactive media

Well, I really like management games and what people jokingly call "spreadsheet simulators" so while I'd probably look autistic anyway, it won't hurt my chances that much

A lot of games can be challenging and difficult and I enjoy learning something new and then overcoming the challenges I'm presented with

There's these blocks that fall down and you have to arrange them in a line so that you get points.

I'm sorry, but we won't be proceeding with your applications at this time.
You're still autistic but you got the job... barely.

Yes I CAN describe them in detail.

Not again!

This is an ok response. Another generic response that would get you points is saying you like multiplayer or cooperative games where you and a group have to overcome a common objective by working together as a team (but state it a little less autistic than that). Or just don't mention video games at all, probably the safest bet

Video games give me a creative outlet and have greatly impacted my development to this day. My reading and typing skills were always above average from a young age and still are to this day. They have also taught me patience, discipline, and how to set and achieve short term and long term goals.

Whoa, is this really the amount of bullshit you have to spew on a job interview?

>at this time
Can you tell me at what time you'll proceed?

No, it's usually worse.
They mostly don't care about what you actually say, but how you handle the question.

This hurts to read

Way more than this

Don't talk yourself in to a hole, just sell them on being reliable and a team player. Tailor your responses for the job.

I talked about scanning groceries like it was the most pivotal thing to my current profession secondary to my degree itself.

>"No."

Yes they ask you vague questions to both get to know you and to see if they can discover if you can quickly respond to left field questions/are you a complete bullshitter.

How about not saying anything about video games in the first place? Why would you ever mention video games at all? Surely there must be something else you enjoy doing that won't make you look like a child.

The entire thing is questions. Most interviews I've done have typically been about 30 minutes of constant questions. You can find lists of common interview questions online and youll be asked most of them but also depends on the type of job.

yes, one job interview I had ended up being a GROUP interview. getting a job is a sick joke here

Some interviewers like to test your people skills, it's more about listening to the way you speak that it is about getting an actual answer.

I enjoy the personal challenges and mechanical mastery associated with video games. I also have plenty of friends that I no longer live next to and online game is a perfect social activity to for keeping up with my friends from afar.

Yes, it's basically two (2) chicks with huge penises that penetrate each other and it's very entertaining.

Yes, I fap 5 times a day.

Having done dozens and dozens of interviews in my life, the questions they ask are usually reasonable. As long as you have some mental dexterity and can relate how your past jobs' skill-sets apply to the one you're attempting to get, you will usually be fine. As for hobbies, you can just pick and choose some bullshit or half-truths and make it work fine. Just be honest, tell them your virtues (or at least, what virtues your "ideal" self would have), and do your very best not to hesitate when answering or betray any awkwardness/weakness. Always tell them that you're honest, willing to learn but learn quickly, and are looking to improve yourself, and you can't really go wrong. You're most likely not going to get a job you interview for anyway, you just need to use the shotgun method until they pick you out of the pool of 20 other people that are applying. If it's just some bullshit minimum wage job, they won't care and will give it to you as long as you don't seem like a bumbling retard.

Yes, I usually get checked for STDs once a year.

Video games are a perfectly viable hobby. Employers like you to talk about your hobbies. As long as you don't come off as a sperg who spends every available moment on games in a dark corner of your room there's literally no problem having them brought up and can even easily be used in a positive manner in an interview.

"MMMM MILKIES!

>So I see you worked at a grocery store? Why does this relate to this position
>"Being in a customer service position allowed me to interact with a variety of different people and cultures in a social setting. Also, I learned the value of being a team player in a large setting to help the organization as a whole. I believe these skills translate to patient interaction and the inter-personal/interdisciplinary skills I will need as an RN.

Basically pick an aspect of your job that relates to what your applying for and act like it was a valuable lesson you had from your prior job. Are you crunching numbers by yourself at a desk? Scanning groceries taught you time management and efficient counting. Are you working in an office setting? Scanning groceries taught you how to work in an interdisciplinary environment. Etc. Etc.

Basically every job has some aspect that you can find to relate to your employer, it's up to you to emphasize it without sounding like your bullshitting. Also, give yourself credit, having a job proves your employable and dependable, have confidence in your resume no matter how thin.
Also be able to explain any gaps in work history shortly and with reason, don't leave them unanswered but don't dwell on them or you will talk yourself out of an interview.

>Not 8 times a day

Sauce?

What about body language? I imagine it's a pretty big thing, right?

Most questions are reasonable and will be tailored to your position, but just know that they do want to get a sense for who you are as a person and if you will fit their culture. Mostly those questions are "tell me about a hobby".

>"Free time? What are you some kind of communist?"

Just sit up straight and keep eye contact. If eye contact is awkward for you look at the middle of their forehead right between the eyes.

If you work customers/patients or are expected to work as a team you will be tested socially. They just want to see if you can respond in a natural manner, they don't give a fuck that you play video games or sports. Can you talk about them without being an autist

It is, but I feel like once you've been through the gauntlet a few times, you will be able to shake off most of the nerves. Obviously it's a stressful situation no matter what, but I find as long as I make eye contact, don't fidget, and try not to look incredibly stiff, then it doesn't matter too much. You just need to realize that, at the end of the day, they're going to pick you or they're not going to pick you (likely), so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I'm a total sperg in social situations with people I don't know and I'm not entirely comfortable with, but the formality of a job interview sort of helps because both parties are "at a distance" from each other, so to speak. It just takes practice, and you can probably even prep yourself with guides on the subject.

A lot of it is knowing who is interviewing you. My current job's interview was done by an older white guy from Florida. He had a whole bunch of hunting pictures so we ended up just talking about trap/skeet shooting and training dogs most of the interview which evolved into guns and light political talk (he is a boomer Trump supporter).

Right now I’m playing a game where a spiky haired youth travels with Donald Duck and Goofy though Disney worlds to stop people who hearts were absorbed by darkness from literally destroy those worlds.

>If eye contact is awkward for you look at the middle of their forehead right between the eyes.
Don't do this, people find this uncomfortable and they'll get a bad vibe from you. Just force yourself to make eye contact.

This, everything about your previous employer is positive, if you say something about them you will say the same thing about the people hiring you. Always think of a reasonable excuse for leaving prior employment.

It gets tough when they will ask questions about how you handled a work dispute because that is inherently negative, the key to remember is to spin everything in a positive, productive light.

Just describe the video games.
Where is the issue?

what are some good hobbies
i like photography and baking and 'computers', but they're not something i do everyday, sometimes not even every week, etc.

something i can tend to everyday. i thought about an maintaining an aquarium, it looks more expensive than i thought though.

Absolutely, but don't overthink it. Smile and make reasonable amount of eye contact. If you have nervous ticks, isolate them and remove them. An interviewer expects nerves, but don't sit and fidget or tap your foot the whole time etc.

Also don't forget your evaluating them too, pay attention to their body language. Do you really want to work for somebody that isn't really invested in you?

DUUUUH, DEY ARE VIDYO GAMES. DUUUH ONE OF DAH MOST PROFITABLE MARKETS ON DA PLANET.
How the fuck do you not know what video games are, bitch? Do you even care about what is marketable these days? Are you that out of touch with not only your consumer base, but reality as well?

Honestly I don't think there could be any answer I'd give to a question like that that would be more embarrassing than the time I somehow wound up telling a 40 year old manager doing the interview that I watched kamen rider and had to try and explain it as "like the avengers but for japanese kids."

I should probably just be glad this was before I got into precure or I'd be liable to just walk out of the interview and try to avoid ever going within ten miles of that store ever again.

But multiplayer games are dogshit. You have no way to punish your team for slacking off or intentionally making bad decisions, so they will.
Then, you either donate them a victory they don't deserve, or you let them lose and join them in slacking off.
Neither is a good option.
It's not like a workplace at all. In a workplace you get fired for not trying to do your job.

I've done group interviews. I re-applied for a job I previously had and they made me do the group interview gauntlet again. Some kid was next to me who was clearly fucking desperate for a job and a sperg but a very nice guy. I talked him through the whole thing prior, I told him exactly what questions to expect and what points to stick. "Be sociable, the customer is the priority, any answer that benefits the customer is the correct answer."

God he fucking bombed it so bad, everything I told him they'd asked were asked and he just couldn't muster up the courage to answer. Nerves are the number one killer in an interview.

Yep hobby questions are basically just seeing if your a sociable and functioning human being. I used to get thrown off by them but now I just say "I play basketball and have a dog". The only wrong answer is either not answering or not answering with enthusiasm.

They obviously meant "describe the games you play in detail". Looks like someone won't be getting hired.

How do you people lack this much self awareness?

honestly if you're just going for a retail/fast food job be brutally honest because they might appreciate that over the stammering mess or obvious bullshit artist you'll come across as otherwise and it isn't like they really care what you say as long as you don't sound like a cunt that'll be a problem employee.

You just have to give a reasonable range. If you evade the question or give something too low, it will set off alarm bells.

I sit in on job interviews occasionally. One time there were 2 candidates who were fairly identical in terms of qualifications. The first one my coworkers decided was completely unqualified. The second one they liked the personality of so they offered them a job despite being equally unqualified.

oops! You fucked up dude! Just say you like bowing or woodworking like making bird houses or some shit.

He said first job, so I assume it's an entry level gig. For those you basically have to just prove you aren't insane, lazy, or retarded (optional).

less a lack of self awareness and more a lack of self confidence. job interviews are really good at making the weak crack and once the weak have already admitted to watching some weird weeb shit because they were wracking their brain for literally anything that wasn't underage panty quests to call a hobby, they're liable to either shut down entirely or just stammer out the truth and hope the interviewer doesn't pay it any mind

Sometimes it’s how it works. I just got a well paying job and the talent agent that reached out to me literally told me before my interview that they have had multiple qualified people interview but they didn’t pick them because they didn’t like their “attitude and demeanor” how you act is a lot of times half the battle.

Expect it, I had a reasonable resume, work experience, and near 4.0 gpa out of college. Almost every hospital in the area turned me down, got maybe 5 interviews. When I ended up accepting one of my only two offers, they showed me that I made it over almost a thousand applicants.

Without connections you will be shot down a ton, shoot your application out to everybody, re-evaluate your application and tailor it specifically for different places.
You will fail, you will not get past the door, you will fuck up in an interview, but eventually you will stick one and walk out the door knowing you got the job. Be positive.

In the interview for my current job, I said that my hobby is watching old Simpsons seasons and playing games. I'm a planning engineer so this is at professional level. Just b urself.

Is it true that employers won't hire you unless you have active social media for them to use for snooping?

No, I just got my first full time job and have no social media. I am a contract employee though.

Probably some places are like that. It's like that fucking Black Mirror episode where everyone has like counters on their lives. You have to create a phony social media presence that's squeaky clean.

It can be a sign that you're an autistic NEET, so maybe. They're more interested in seeing if you behave inappropriately on social media though.

Many will ask for them. That’s why I keep my Facebook open even though I don’t use it. I will post some random link about a TV show sometimes, but my Twitter account uses my screen and has has no references to me irl.

Not at all, besides all they check for on that is that your not doing anything illegal or bitching about your current job/employers

One of interviewers I had once asked if I played videogames as small talk, and mused that he liked the Diablo series, and that put me on the spot, because I don't really know much about those games. This was AFTER the interview, but still.

Not really. You can say "I just share things with close relatives and friends" and most employers won't think much about it. Some years ago it was more important, but nowadays some employers prefer that you don't have active social media in which you can post shit that makes the brand look bad

Yes, because that implies that you know and care about some things the average movie consumer doesn't. Everybody watches movies. Not everybody knows about that other movies the director have done before, or how a certain scene was filmed. It's like that with everything.

>Well, Sarah, I would like to say that I read, learn new things, and play instruments in my free time, but that's not entirely the case. That's basically just what my ideal self would do, the self that I present to others and to myself in some circumstances. Unfortunately my real self is entirely lacking in motivation and focus and as a result he acts in certain ways or takes actions that end up causing him harm mentally and physically. Basically when I'm done working I tell myself that I just need a few minutes to myself to recover from the day and I'll get working on self improvement then, but the minutes turn into hours, and time is gone with the wind. I don't study a new language, I don't practice my keyboard, and I don't read a new book. I just sit and stare at the wall essentially. I know every groove, every fold of that wall by now. I know every sound of the night that penetrates my apartment, because everything else is so still, there is nothing else happening to me. I tell myself that I'll be better tomorrow, then the day thereafter, but I realized something a year or so ago Sarah: I'm not waiting to find my motivation to change my life, I'm waiting to die. If a bus hit me tomorrow and I had a brief moment to reflect before embracing oblivion, I wouldn't necessarily be sad. Self preservation is the most core instinct of organic life, otherwise I probably would have stepped in front of a semi years ago. I don't want to live, but I don't want to die either. I'm trapped in my own double helix.

Good luck user. We believe in you.

Oh, okay, my bad. So what's the pusy game like around here?

Someone just got promoted to work in my team. It's a well paying job in banking, not in any way related to dealing with customers. They used the question on interests and hobbies to speak about about D&D in their interview and how they are a DM, and comes up with interesting and fun stories for their friends. They got an excellent score for that because they were so passionate about it.

Don't be so scared of talking about your interests. True passion about what you enjoy is 1000% better than a tickbox answer you got from google. Once you get past jobs that are absolutely basic entry level in fast food or some nonsense that is.

That's why I hate that question in job interviews. It's designed for bullshit. Everyone just bullshits a strength into a weakness. Hell, I've sat in interviews where the guy said, "Oh haha this old question, well what most people would do is dress up a strength as a weakness" and then he dressed up a strength as a fucking weakness.
If I wasn't concerned about jeopardizing my own position I would have kept calling him on it until he gave a real answer.

solid reading comprehension there amigo

Job interviews are 1% actually seeing how qualified you are for a job, 49% seeing if your attitude or general demeanor will make you a nightmare to deal with, and 50% seeing how good you are at bullshitting everyone around you.

Like go to an interview and have them ask about times where shit went south at a previous job. You can't tell them you made a mistake, you have to find a way to word it so it's simultaneously not your fault but also you aren't pushing the blame on others.

why is this a bad thing? do they make you do math or something?

It's where all the dumb bimbos with communications degrees go to hide their shame.

Europoor resumes literally require you to attach a picture.

Video games are a bit of a fantasy concept not unlike that of reading a fictional novel or watching a movie, though unlike those things, they're closer to being more of a hands on approach to fantasy as opposed to just sitting back and observing the story as it unfolds. They make for decent alternate to the actions you may want to perform in life but without any of the consequences that comes with them, and such a thing may even make for a more effective stress reliever than your average DIY or sports related hobbies in some cases.

How does that sound, user?

You don't see how this might be a violation of your own privacy for no benefit to yourself? If everything relevant to the position is placed in the CV and cover letter, there's no purpose for a photograph of yourself.

All my professors prepared me for shit like this, then I go into the practical/problem solving portion of the interview and it's all just shit like "Make a palindrome function" or "Define a class with x, y, and z features" followed by lots of OOP and general questions and definitions.

Maybe it's because it's all entry level positions, and I actively avoid larger companies.

Google programming test questions beforehand so you're ready for the common ones. And don't stress too much if you don't know the answer. Just do as much as you can. If they ask what encapsulation means you're better off making some kind of guess based on the word than just saying "Oh man I don't remember". I've been in interviews where someone asked them to explain what recursion is and they didn't even attempt to answer. If they had bullshitted a guess it would have been 10x less damning.

In 5/10 or years I would like to still be here, I do like to stay with a company. In 15 I would like to teach to pass on the skills I’ve learned to the next generation.

These kinds of questions are gamey bullshit intended to see your problem solving skill, not your actual powerlevel.

They don't expect you to have memorized the 2 eggs problem. They want you to start with "Well, I can eliminate half of the options in a single drop, but then I end up doing up to 50 drops, so I need to be more discrete. I could go up by 10's, and drop the max to 19. That still seems high... Maybe I make my higher tiers smaller to normalize the number of drops?"

Hence the whiteboard. They don't want you to say "12 drops using a a 14 floor step decaying with every iteration, and moving up single floors from the highest known "bad" value by ones."; They want to see how you solve a problem.

if literally any of his family members, or even friends have a buisness, then it's all good.

Video games help keep me active while remaining close to my work station. When I have spare time, I practice my basic skills with puzzle games. Keeping my mind active when I'm idle puts it to better use than sitting in front of a television or playing with my phone. If I've got free time, I'm going to make sure I'm prepared for anything to come.
In five years, I see myself having moved up in the company enough that others can rely on me to help them when they are in trouble, as well as the opposite. In ten years, being able to help look over and educate newcomers and interns while also working with the more experienced personnel would be a wonderful position to be in by this point.

What's your take on cover letters? I just spend a while job hunting and the less effort I put into them the better the response seemed to be. My hunch is that recruiters want to see you did it but don't give a flying fuck what it says. I would literally just type 5 well-written sentences paraphrasing "I am competent enough to do this job, contact me" and that was what I always got the best response from. Though I also got 3 interviews including the one for the job I took without submitting any cover letter at all.

Workers write-up that basically stays on your record
They didnt have anything before except for like missing work, skipping work and not calling in, falling asleep at work; they just revised it because they felt like it was too lenient

This right here. When you feel like you should be getting promoted (every 2-3 years) you should make looking at similar positions in other companies goal #1.

Most of the time the pay increase from an external company will be more than double that from internal.

That’s odd, finding out you lied on an interview would be ground for instant firing in most jobs I’ve had.

what sort of jobs do you recruit for? How big is the company?
also if I'm a dumb autist with a business degree how do I get a job that isn't in the service industry

but bro, if the dermatologist is a chick you could finagle that into boneing

Not needed honestly. It's not the hobby that scores you points but how you speak about it.

I never do a cover letter. I’ve never had luck when doing them.

if you already know it's just a pimple what's the fucking point lmao

This. Say something that's simple like bowling or another old man sport. Even if you suck at it, it's easy to show you're a normal person.

It's too late you made yourself autistic by the very mention of vidya

It’s basically a one warning policy then you get fired, so as long as you arent an idiot you wont get fired

I came up with it on the fly in response to your sarcastic ass, so saying something like that in a non-hostile environment is nothing. You underestimate how one reacts under pressure. I actually do enjoy bowling though, so I can pull that shit out of my ass while having a leg to stand on

I don't have that problem, but your advice is useful to those who do, I was just describing how I imagine a Yea Forums interview to go.

Honestly, it doesn't have to be a 'normal' hobby. If you can use videogames as your answer but elaborate in a similar way it's completely fine. Being autistic and just saying games is no worse than just saying reading though.

read the thread holy fuck

they just want to make sure they're not hiding any radical extremists or anything. My friend told me they didn't hire this one guy because all his FB posts were about Antifa.

>In my spare time, should I have enough time to do so, I enjoy a calming round of bowling. I'm not really skilled, but doing so helps me wind down and relax. The stimulation from scoring a strike is quite motivational as well, inspiring me to continue doing my best.

Honesty.

It's a shitpost thread, user. Don't take it so seriously, my guy.

Bowling is a good one. Normie as fuck.

Just bullshit.
Always bullshit.

Just lie. Literally the advice I am always given. No one cares to or has to time to verify your claims unless you're claiming something they legally would have to verify.

I got asked this question and video games helped me get a job. "Yeah I play Fighting Games. It is where you compete against someone one on one in a competitive format. I actually hosted multiple competitions where I would get around 50 people joining and managing about 4 people with setting up and running the event. It was always a huge blast with a range of ages and people. Sure sometimes you have trouble makers and fights especially when tensions are high in a competitive format, but I taught my people how to deal with it and make sure everyone left happy."

>so., Mister user. are you sexually active?
Say yes in a non-chalant manner, if she tries to elaborate, give some bullshit non-answer along the lines of "meh every now and then".

What would be a the best response for "why did you leave your previous work?"

The worst advice in the entire thread.

What are your hobbies? Remember it's how you speak about why you enjoy them that's more important than the hobby itself. Things such as hillwalking, playing an instrument, learning a language are all great platforms to sell yourself

Only if your only hobby is gaming.

Bowling.
At least you can pretend you're sociable with it and it will help with the HR chode.

...

You'll just be fired if they even figure out you lied.

>Remember it's how you speak
We're all FUCKED.

Mostly chess sims for the sake of learning, I'm a pretty avid fan and hope to improve. Not much else besides the occasional puzzle game on my phone.
>actually enjoy autism tier bing-bing romhacks
>not lying through your fucking teeth during an interview

Lying has literally solved most of my life problems.

Pro tip: Dont lie about stuff that can backfire, lie about thing that people will never disprove.

just say you want more money

Make a walking simulator/interactive movie about rummaging through the childhood home of a lesbian then lie and tell them you make videogames.

Why is that bitch speaking like she has no idea what video games are?

My response: oh nothing really just a pass time for when I have a free hour

"Because I got the nickname "bumsniffer" there."

I felt like I wasn't being challenged anymore.
I wanted something new.
The company went through a big change in management.

>I fence in real life
Its great when I say it in interviews, its niche enough that makes you look cool but not niche enough for normalfags to call you weird.

This is bad as it makes you seem like someone who will jump ship quickly.

Tell them you have been working on another degree from a nearby university but haven't graduated yet so didn't list it. Add in that you have a home ran business of buying/selling/flipping things on websites.

Why DID you leave your previous job? Ideally you shouldn't do things for stupid reasons that you can't explain to anyone else.

That's why you don't lie about things they can easily verify, smartass.

>A highly educated sperg is going to slow things down.
god this so fucking much. Working with people willing to learn and improve are so much better then working with passive-aggressive workers who think their hot shit.

You need a new challenge

worked for my current job lol

Like hobbies, the entire topic? I can easily verify if you are lying about ahobby by cross referencing the email your provided as well as checking your twitter, your facebook, interviewing your friends etc.

Just because it’s a bad idea doesn’t mean it will never work.

Because I felt like it and didn't like it. Why are you still working here? What makes it so great? Sell me.

I have none of those things and I have no idea how will they reach my friends or why they would answer shit.

You must feel really special

I think that as long as you be yourself, you have higher chances of landing the job
And if "being yourself" is a bad idea for getting a job, maybe you should be improving yourself instead

I didn't lie, but I did talk up how I had an impressive memory (which was true) but that only came back to bite me when I fucked up on oral instruction.

I literally got fired from my last job because I missed all the hints that I should quit because I was too autistic, didn't want to give up, and my bosses basically lied to me about wanting to keep me. Fucked me over in my next job interview I think, because I couldn't adequately explain without making either party look bad.

Not having a facebook or twitter is going to harm you in a job search way more than any other thing mentioned in this thread. Most jobs won't even allow you to have a scheduled interview without one.

No, but we could change that

>having a facebook/twitter that you actually use
>actually thinking that your employer is going to call your friends and ask about your hobbies

pretty much any other response that isn't retarded will also work without walling you out of 80% of jobs as an interview faux pas. you want to minimise your risk of blowing your chance on a single question. bad advice desu

Are you trying to come up with the worst possible answer?

No, I don't think they care nearly as much as your pussified asses do and I refuse to kiss ass. They can either hire me or suck my dick, I don't really care. Not gonna lie my ass off and say my dream job is working at your shitty KFC. Plenty of other jobs out there and if all you want is brown noses, your location likely won't last.

>Well I manage a very invested community of 150 people, coordinating events, schedules, and rewarding consistency and loyalty to the brand
easy way to fluff up streaming.
Also you tend to get legitimate video editing experience, and livestreaming tech support is actually a pretty valuable skillset for a lot of major companies. It's how I got hired for bamco. I now basically pick and choose livestreamers and give them keys to raffle off, as well as set up our own livestreams (though I don't appear on stream, they've got a girl they hired specifically for that).

I've passed three interviews now and I still have no idea how that shit works. The ones that got me hired didn't seem to go particularly well, some seemed like massive shitshows, and some of the best interviews I had didn't get me shit. What the fuck do these people want from me?!

>No interest in working for shit companies anyway m8.
>"This is the kind of confidence we want in the people working here, you're hired user!"

you can ask that same question realistically without being an obnoxious retard. At the end of the interview when you have questions you can ask things like, 'What are your favourite/least favourite aspects of the job'? 'Why do you enjoy working for this company?'

>Then literally say whatever you want during an interview. It really doesn't matter.
Correct, as long as you have the skills to perform the job to expectations, they won't bother.
You are genuinely limiting your competitive advantage in the labor market by being honest.

So, just like the bullshit about interviews in general in this thread?

>IF YOU TELL THEM YOU PLAY VIDYA THEY WON'T HIRE YOU
Get the fuck out with this underage garbage.

Just say you play game same as you would pass the time with any other hobby
Your own mental retardation will come through regardless of your hobbies.

Most job interviews I had, specifically the part of "how long will I stay" and "how long I had my previous job".

The tip for lying its that you need to lie about really really small stuff so it never come backs again.

Also solved some uni problems I dont wanna speak about.

People arent looking for skills when hiring, that shit can be taught/learned. They want people that are easy to deal with, dealing with spergs at work is fucking awful.

>"uh sorry, text interpretation is one of the requirements of the job."

The world is so insane it might backfire and get me fired instead.

I`m still on the entry level of this shit, but I usually say "scheduling conflicts" and pretend that I was still in school at the time, that they were scheduling me in the middle of my class time they knew about. It works for now.

Just lie on your resume. I put baseball and shit but I only play baseball games on console.

You're wasting their time. The answer is no. Or more accurately "Practice regularly, but haven't had a match in a while."

Now are you triggered because the person who hit on you was gay or because you got hit on?
One of these is grounds for a harassment claim, the other is grounds for bigotry

There is nothing rude about those questions you socially stunted edgelord.

My degree is finance and economics but whatever. Degrees are about signalling, not the shit you learnt, I have no trouble looking for a job because I come from the best institution of my country and thats signalling enough, anything else I can just google or open a book when I dont know what to do. Life is all about signalling.

Obviously cause they're a faggot, I only thought they existed on the internet but here was one right in front of me blatantly sucking my dick with his eyes asking when I get off work. Not a religious person but I felt god weep at that moment.

This is so fucking stupid.

No they want the right answer lol.

That sounds like you're being triggered by the reminder that gay people exist. Tell them you're not interested and move on, getting bent out of shape over it like a woman being hit on by a man who isn't an adonis is ridiculous.

"Because I felt like it" is a fucking stupid reason, user.

It's like saying you enjoyed a game because it was fun. Why was it fun? What do you find fun? Knowing that you felt like leaving MacDonalds or that you felt like not playing Candy Crush doesn't tell us shit about you compared to knowing that they pressured you to work weekends with zero notice or knowing that you think Candy Crush is a casual piece of shit.

Well then you're a bigot whos been conditioned poorly, you should attempt to seek mental assistance and if that seems hard just off yourself, society will progress much quicker without your backwards mindsets holding things back

Depends on my mood when I come in. If I'm off at all I crumble like a retard and I feel like shit. If I'm keen I can usually pull off the charisma shit. Most of the time I have to shut out the idea that these people have any competency in hiring when I'm being dragged around for multiple interviews with conflicting information between interviewers.
>apply to Goodwill
>come in for interview
>honestly have very little knowledge about what goes on because no previous experience
>admitted that I couldn't really tell how it all worked from how the job description was phrased

Next day:
>second interview begins
>different person shows up as interviewer
>doubles down on negative aspects of my resume
>I'm confused because these questions were answered yesterday
>rejected and sent off
Overall I would say interviews are a mostly negative experience because most of the time people will be rejected even if they're perfectly valid candidates. Also in regards to your family connections they won't always save you, my father got me into his work as a laborer and I was terminated after ~1 day of testing and 1.5 days of work for "not being aware of safety protocols" even though the HR lady stuttered when dodging it, when I asked for examples that I could learn from. I was also informed I had done nothing wrong. They terminated me for a lack of experience that I had been completely upfront about from the get-go. HR is not your friend, remember that.

When I was 17 and I went for an interview I was asked "why do you want to work here?"
For some reason I just said "because I want money"
It was awkward silence, I said "what?" And they continued
I got the fucking job

You know why they keep changing Fizzbuzz? It's because they don't want the answer you googled, they want you to prove you have the necessary background to solve it yourself using best practices.

Which is why any group worth their salt will follow up with "How would you do it with 3 eggs? Can you use this strategy with 1 egg? How does this algorithm apply to sorting and indexing functions?"

Because they're not in the business of dropping eggs you retard.

>oh so you didn’t work while in college right?
I’ve literally had a few interviews like this. It’s obvious what they’re trying to imply.

Anyways I haven’t worked for 2.5 years. I finished college and now back in university but interviewers would probably mention why I don’t work while in school.

If you don't get it correct you will not be hired.
The optimal strategy is to just grind and memorize as many as possible. If you see something you've seen or similar act like it's new and "solve" it.

Tight the gaps, say you worked 1 or 2 months that you actually did, fill it with some made up travel or something (Even better if you actually traveled lets say years ago but say it was recently so you dont need to make up answers if they start questioning the trip, the best lies are the ones that have truth in them). Say you worked with y our dad for a few months while you were taking care of your mom, say you worked on a coffee shop for a month or two to chill out and save some more money for you trip. Say it was a sabatical year where you spend your time reading and writing or some shit. Obviously the stuff I come up with will not help you that much since they are tailored to me but you get the idea.

Same shit, the philosophies there might have some merit but i find most people who believe in religion aren't always devout extremeists
Most religion is tied to the culture of an area, some who practice it have a devout respect for others and religious differences but most often in media/the news we see extremism because that's "out of the ordinary" it's different, its what catches peoples attention unfortunately and conditions people towards bad stereotypes
If a Muslim and a Catholic can practice their religions without harming the lives of others then that's totally ok, if not then they shouldn't be tolerated

Is this only the case for Big N?

Literally not the case: A friend of mine does corporate programming and failed to complete some of the challenges presented in the interview.

As a matter of fact, I know of at least one interviewer that puts a unsolvable problem up to see how candidates respond to stress and engage with an unfamiliar problem.

If they ask you how to do something directly job related, you need the answer because you're supposed to know that pat. If they ask you a concept or twister question, they are 100% more interested in your path to the answer than the answer itself.

No one is impressed with your ability to regurgitate concepts you don't understand.

how much leetcode is optimal?

Probably, "hot" startups, le big N, and finance firms.

I just tell them I enjoy an activity that requires coordination and planning with other people, akin to hobbies like bowling or golfing. Except in this game, it's playing a team based video game.

Grinding leetcode and systems questions is undeniably the best thing you can do for your interview chances.
