I applied for a job last night not expecting much to come of it (I was actually just updating my resumé and saw it advertised), but apparently they liked my application and want to interview me.
It seems a bit odd, I got an automated message saying the ceo wishes to interview me today for 5 minutes between 4-5pm but if I wasn't "lucky" enough to click the link and book in one of the (allegedly in high demand) slots to put my number into a google form and they'll send me a new link tomorrow.
It's better than that fake Woolworths ai robot thing I guess, but I don't even understand what they're planning on asking me in 5 minutes. In fact it won't even be 5 minutes, it'll be 4
Strangely rather than being nervous about the interview, I'm just deeply criticising their entire business setup. I guess I've got the luxury of both time and choice though, so if it doesn't pan out or I cock it up, I'm not too fussed
That sounds fake as fuck and you wouldn’t want it anyway.
You know shits bad when a literal catfish tells you something is dodgy
Tee hee. I do love when people tie themselves in double knots figuring out if the name is true or true 😹
It sounds really suss to me.
I wasn't really getting sus vibes from it, moreso vibes that this might be one of those holier than thou type companies.
It's a whole 4 minute zoom call though so I'm not sure whether to bail (no way to cancel, so I'd just have to no show) or do it anyways
It is an actual shop that I know exists because I've walked past it though, but I guess that doesn't necessarily prove they're the ones who posted the job applications
and yet the entirety of what they are doing is suss,
the way they are following up applications is like how people who want hundreds of applicants act
it really does sound like they are looking for people who are willing to let red flags pass
