The absolute state of the hiring process
You can do it user.
Is this a meme larp? I would email them and tell them their hiring process is unrealistic and stupid.
Jow Forums makes this out to be the norm here's how it went for me
apply to temp service
show up to job
get hired
internal job openings open up
get promoted
finish associates degree
get promoted again
from 9hr to 60k
after the revolution we will put all the HR whores to work in the sulphur mines. they will learn what real work is.
>Apply for job at some insurance shithole
>One of the interview questions is "why do you think you Deserve this job"
>Deserve this job
>$8.50/he
>Get rejected anyway because some poojet with an MBA also applied
Yep. Boomers are fucking cucks whose only joy in life is making other people's lives shittier.
Not a larp, pic related
I have a bachelor's
> $8.50
> Asks why you deserve it
you're also unemployed
I have a job but it doesn't pay too well.
Pic is another email they sent me.
what the actual fuck, the wage cage meme is real.
What a scam. The reason they have to respond as individuals is because it's illegal to ask the questions they want to ask if they represented a company(which they do wtf). Send an email telling them that what they're doing so illegal and that you're forwarding to a lawyer to fuck with them.
>get threat of lawsuit from poorfag NEET
Oh noes
>> They want each reference to sign on and take a survey about the candidate
lmao
what websites do you go on to find jobs?
>that pic
my fucking sides
>implying we aren't getting rid of lawyers
laugh now you'll regret it
Also holy shit this is fucking absurd. I had to fill out some similar forms when I applied to a banking related job, it was mostly privacy related stuff because the material I was working with (mortgages and the like) was so sensitive.
That being said, I think that USUALLY you can bullshit this stuff. If you half-ass it and they don't hire you, then who gives a shit? I think they're mostly just seeing if you'll follow through and then they'll work with what you give them. Or not. Who the fuck knows.
Correct, it's to see if user has to together and can follow orders because the position they're hiring for is high turnover and is on the top of the charts on the internal recruiter/HR excel spreadsheet so that department has had numerous bad hires.
user, you're better than this.
I'd reply back thanking them for their time, but declining that because it's unrealistic for a entry level job then forge a resume about IT shit and get a proper 60-120K/yr job.
In the end it doesn't really matter, it's all the same bullshit.
What do you mean by "bullshit this stuff" user?
I have not left my semi-decent current job due to the interview process at other places.
I had to pass 2 tests, attend 3 interviews and then they told me they wanted to put me in another department so I had to do another 3 interviews. I just said sure then never showed up and ignored them. They called me a few dozen times. Who the fuck do they think they are?
That sucks I had something like that happen before and it was with a company that paid poorly. I went to the interview, didn't get the job.
Lmfao I needed zero (0) refs coming out of b school for my 100k+ gig wtf is that shit
For my job I had one interview, and no one even checked my degree certificate, they just trusted I had it
I'm a freelance webdev who dropped out of high school to pursue programming and making 100k+ off online freelance gigs. I feel sorry for you collegecucks and wagecucks. Why did you not directly jump into capitalism's arms? It loves you and will take care of you.
How do I forge a believable resume. I've given up on real resumes since college ain't worth shit.
whats your gig user
>apply
>interview
>I don’t think you’re a good fit
>get hired anyway
>so does everyone else that was there with me
>mlm bullshit
Fuck my life. At least I got some good sales coaching before I left. I’m more confident as a salesman but I never even wanted to be one to begin with. Back to doing security lol.
there was one of those little shit megalomaniacs at everyone's highschool
lol that's exactly me. been a narcissist and obsessed with computers since a child. i guess some people will make it and some won't no matter how much education or opportunity they get
This exactly what I did. Spent 3 months looking for work after college, one day said fuck it I'll just be a temp. Got a job in 2 weeks after just a 15min phone interview for $16/hr, and five months later I had permanent position making $50k. Temp work is simply the new normal for getting into a lot of company's now.
>HR told us we had to look like any Non-connected Outsider could get the position
bullshit. what site do you freelance on?
If you let me LARP as your reference OP I will mention how this is illegal and how I want to make a formal complaint to their legal department. Think of all the wagies that will have to go through this. They're people too.
LinkedIn, Reddit, Bitcoin and AI related boards, also remote work sites like remoteok.io
Please assist.
if you have to ask, you can't do it
What that that even mean? Am I supposed to learn enough about IT to fudge a resume that sounds correct together or what?
Op here I'm considering doing this. You got a throw away email I can contact you through?
this is what a did after getting a chemE degree and not getting any jobs
>get random samples that a 10 year old could do
>$16/h, max of 32 hours
>6 months later
>get hired full time and make 70k
>company pays for master
you have to get your foot in the door somehow and a temp is a good way to do it
temp can be good or it can be absolute hell. still better to be a temp than to deal with OP's garbage though, least if its a hellhole type job where they lead you on you can usually see it
heh knew a kid like you, he's the reason they had to install security cameras and take out the USB ports on all the computers. You guys are fucking hilarious

Everyone is being turned into a technological transient and most of us will be permanent hobos/NEETs in the next decade.
threaten to sue them for he lost time due to misleading job advertisements. they will initially ignore you or be nasty or make their lawyer send you copypasta hoping you will go away. Then you send all of your correspondences neatly organized along with a 1 page complaint to your state's attorney general office and they will sheepishly come back to you with some offer. Not a bad way to make a thousand bucks
I have an interview for in-room dining server at the palazzo on tuesday. Tired of cleaning rooms for my bitcoin $
Less than 12 hours remain, I won't be surprised if they call me asking why I didn't do it. Wonder what a good response would be that also turns it on them.
Literally your only option to fuck with them is to threaten legal action. Or take the user's advice and have him threaten legal action.
tell them your references said the process is bullshit and won't do it unless they get paid
Do this and give up.
Any employer who's too lazy to just do a 5min phone call to one of your references isn't worth your time.
Thing is the poorfag NEET isn't the one that's gunna be taking them to court, it'd be the govt my dude.
Unless you're a yank with no labor/work laws, in which case get rekt son.
I firmly believe these ridiculous hoops are to break people entering the work force. Sort of how the military does to people. It's brainwashing.
I've had to jump through more hoops for a part time job than a full time career position. But everyone has to do these McJobs at some point, generally as their first job.
