If i wanted to be jobless, sure. lol

[-] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

Don't be so sure. Honestly, even if this question would have made me feel uncomfortable in the moment, I can tell you that it would elevate my opinion of any candidate I was interviewing because it's actually a very thoughtful but also important thing to consider. I actually can't recall at the moment anybody ever asking something like this in any interview I've done -- normally it's the basic stuff like "do you like working here" or "can you walk me through your typical day" kind of questions.

I'm sure that in your interviews youre actually evaluating the candidate. My interviews are just to make sure I'm willing to actually show up.

If nobody ever questioned anything, nothing would ever change. Be the change you want to see, and stop shitting on people for actually standing up for something.

I love that you're offended because of my comment about me not having job opportunities.
Social media in a nutshell, tbh.

Maybe not everything is about you, hmmm?

Do you ask any questions during an interview?

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No, I've never interviewed for a job that i was willing to not get.

You know, little opportunity and all.

It behooves you to ask the interviewer some questions, too. It helps to give you an idea about whether or not you want to work there.

There were definitely times when I had a bad interview, I still got the job, and I wished that I hadn't. Don't ignore warning signs because you're desperate! Sometimes it's better to have no job at all.

For the people that can't afford not to take the crappy job, sometimes it's best to just take it but keep looking for something better. Not everybody has money in the bank to be picky about employment.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 0 points 1 month ago

Not sure about you, but I don't think having no job would be good for me.

[-] GalacticSushi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

That's why you accept the job and continue to apply/interview

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

Absolutely!

...If you have skills.

Thank you.

People who post shit like this seem to think the streets are littered with such a rich variety of job offers that we can pick out the best ones like we’re shopping for avocados, completely oblivious to the fact that the vast, vast majority of us need a job right fucking now to survive, and are going to happily snag the first offer we get no matter what evil fuck it’s for.

Remember post COVID how people were quiet quitting and CEO's were talking about how workers had too much power?

I remember.

That's why they're so desperate to make AI happen
