Update: Got a job at MNC, good salary of 20% increase with bonus/commission/13th month salary etc.

I've sent over my resume. Already answered why the company attracts me etc. And they sent me back this bullshit process to fill in. Like what the actual fuck? asking you what do you do in your free time? What do I obsessed with? Oh and you will need do a test, just an hour so we can steal your ideas. It's not even a technical position. Are they high or something? I have never seen someone asked what's their previous boss shortcoming. I dont even have words anymore.

if you think you have the qualification to land a job then you decide what to do.
last time before internet Big four asked me to fill a booklet of questions and have to write essay. i skipped.

I've received and attended multiple interviews. I'm confident in my skillset. Just this one really have no words to describe. Not sure if they are out of touch or just purely data farming. It's crazy that we have to jump hoops and loops to get a single interview these days.

Its one way to weed out the ones who are determined to join their organization and the ones that are not.

I mean thats true. But if it were you will you fill out everything and do the test? And after that praying they will reply and not ghost you?
To me personally its a waste of energy. If you wanna know more about me, sure arrange an interview and I can answer whatever questions that you have or whatever portfolio, past work achievement that you want to see. There's really no point to all of this.

Or they either wants your idea or just data farming.. if want to see how creative should ask for portfolio during email time...

TS how old are you?

just saying this phenomena is not new, chances to land on an interview let alone a job offer thesedays are much tougher compare to say pre-Covid years

with the layoffs here and there, and each year thousands of freshgrads flooded into the market, it is really employer's market now

this is the era of doing what shit also competitive af, even influencer the sponsor would evaluate you from various angles, gone were the days of the newbie benefits that occurred early 2010s, now IG and XHS algorithms are posing more challenges to content creators

now really wait for the world to reset itself, either coming from Russia or US or CCP or Bharat

really cannot brain what would be our next gen have to endure
*
Old enough. I know this phenomena is not new and just want to call out bullshit practices like this. Create an account, fill in all your work history which already been on the CV, fill in more useless info and in the end to either get ghosted or lowball. And company complaint NOBODY wants to work anymore.

We should not let them get away with bullshit practices like what this company show. It's not even the internet big Four or some prestige company like Apple, Amazon, or any famous tech company. It's a bloody local company. They just need someone desperate enough to fill all this and lowball the candidate wages to death. Imagine asking stupid question like where is your supervisor now and will you willing to arrange a call with the supervisor etc, just like what parisiansky said, they want to hire me or my supervisor?

What happened to a simple submit your cv, get a phone call, get interviewed and voila you get the job. Man I missed the good old time. Everyone should have a decent shot and a fair chance to get an interview and not be tortured by whatever this is. If its management level or super high pay then I still can understand. It's just a normal job with normal pay.

God i agree with you and hope the economy fucking crash or any reset coming to end of this bullshit. Fuck all of these greedy assholes and fuck capitalism.

the side effects of AI bubble-ism

first they encouraged you to use AI to polish your CV, then they invent some mechanism to detect if you are using AI to assist you during the application, then they introduce even more steps to make sure you are "genuine" as in not to "rely" on AI in the process of getting a job

sounds LPPL

there's very less trust between the employee and employer now
*
AI is not the issue, the only issue is with these greedy corporation. Wanting infinite growth while keep having layoffs. I guess record profits every year are not enough huh. AI is supposed to make life and work easier but instead it is used as a weapon to threaten and torture employee.

Some of these are ghost jobs too. Jobs don't even exist and they're just there to make the company look like they're growing.

Employer: Nobody wants to work anymore!
Employee: I’m interested in that job and your company sounds great, here’s my CV and I have enough experience to handle the role.
Employer: Nobody qualified, experienced and affordable wants to work anymore!

i don’t think anyone will really enjoy it, but to be honest, it kinda suits the position he’s aiming for, right? i mean, how can you do marketing for a company if you can’t even market yourself?
*
The only time that I will consider marketing myself is through an actual interview, face to face having a conversation with my potential future boss or colleagues. What a CV is not enough until the company needs to pull all these little stunts?

Or the company is really that busy until cannot arrange a 30 min interview with the candidate? Man stop defending these bullshit practices. Like what I said above, it’s a normal job not some high management executive position. If you don’t want me in the beginning you can just straight away decline me. The issue is that they saw my CV, email me back and said that they are interested in me and proceed to ask me to fill in all these shit. Why not just arrange an interview? They can’t even do the most basic thing which is putting an effort to have an actual conversation.

i get your frustration and you know what? the employer probably saw it too. maybe that’s exactly why they set things up this way, to see how candidates handle pressure, uncertainty, or things not going their way. not every test is about skills; sometimes it’s about attitude.

try to see this as a test. do you think once you're hired, everything’s going to be smooth sailing? that every customer will always be nice, punctual, and reasonable?

so when things don’t go your way, is this how you’ll react? complaining, blaming others, and looking for validation from strangers online?

personally, i see all this negativity toward the company as an opportunity. fewer people willing to take it on means a better chance for me.

anyway, just my two cents. wishing you the best of luck!
*
I don’t think you understand what I try to express and everything you said is irrelevant to the situation here. This is not a fresh grad job nor it is a management level position. From the way I see you are no difference like what this company is trying to achieve, which is giving headache to the candidate.

You’re trying to shift the blame to me and act like I was the problem. It is true that they have the right to set up this type of process to filter out people but I also have the right to complaint and outright reject this type of practices. No need to guilt trip me as I have worked many roles before especially in the customer service department and I know what stress is.

You mentioned that
“they set things up this way, to see how candidates handle pressure, uncertainty, or things not going their way”

Let me ask you this, does questions they asked like (where is your supervisor now, would you be willing to arrange for us to talk with him/her, What is your best guess as to what that supervisor really felt at that time were your strengths and weaker points?) have anything to do with “how candidates handle pressure, uncertainty, or things not going their way“? Completely irrelevant. And as for the questions they ask up on top, they can ask during the interview as well. If they really want to see how candidates handle pressure, it should be during the interview itself. How does filling up pointless question have anything to do with how I handle pressure? Like what you suggested earlier, if I really wanted the job I can just use AI to fill in everything, where’s the pressure in that?

And how can you determine someone’s attitude online, moreover filling in all these useless question when you don’t even give candidate a chance to have an actual conversation with you?

I don’t think you know what you’re talking about but anyway I wish you all the best and pray that you or your future generation don’t have to face this kind of issue during job hunting smile.gif

I'm interviewing both countries and have received an online interview with the manager next week. Japan quite hard to find job too, especially with their low wages. Hard to survive over there if they pay peanuts. Been there for a while so i know what the grocery prices and so on.

welp just went to another dogshit interview. interviewer never self introduce herself, directly asking me what i think about their company etc. I wanted to self introduce she said can but dont mentioned about work, self introduce yourself like what is your hobby, how many friends and family and what do you do in your free time. wtf i come to interview job or matchmaking with you?

she also limit me only can ask 3 questions at the end of the interview. nvr even talk about the job and and when i asked her she tell me the job will only be discuss in the second interview. dafuq waste my time. btw the interviewer is the head department of the company.

i have interviewed multiple overseas company like us and japan and all of them are very professional. but everytime i interviewed local company always this kind of shit happen. pls la go and learn how to properly interview ppl.
