  • I worked in a coffeee shop a long time ago and we had a new girl, who just started. Its the end of the shift and we told her to put on rubber gloves, we will show her how to clean the coffee machine.

    She went to the store room and after 10 minutes she returned with only one glove on, holding the 100 pack box of disposable gloves and with visible confusion as she explained that we run out of right hand gloves as she could only find these marked with “L”









  • Your answer sounds like it was lifted from a LinkedIn motivational post.

    College favours the rich, who can afford it and I don’t think people with higher education are better at planning their future.

    Lots of people are forced through college by their parents, often backed up with money and safety nets of security - if they fail the first time they just throw more money at it and try again.


  • I guess 5 rounds of 90 minutes long multi-stage interview process is much more efficient, where people selling an idealised version of themselves in imaginary scenarios.

    Also talking to HR/recruitment department, who has no idea of the actual job is a great way to find the right candidate.

    …its ridiculous


  • Cant you find out the answer for these questions with a series of short tests?

    I once applied for a job at IBM and instead of an initial interview they sent me a series of interactive tests to check my skills. I ended up moving to another country and didn’t follow through, but still liked this approach.

    Also in the EU I can see lots of job listings are using now a system where you either have a certain type of education/degree or a certain previous experience to be eligible to apply.

    Still you need to have knowledge of the specific field, but technically if you started at the bottom with an entry level low skill job you can get higher with experience alone and without a university degree.
