Things an interviewer says that lets you know “You didn’t get the job”

[Formerly Black Trash]

We’ve decided to move in another direction. I’ve used this one myself

If you said that during the interview, nikka should jump over the table

 

[Koli_Kat]

When you walk in and they give you that

"So Tell me about yourself"


Whole interview after that is just going through the motions.

Interviewer:

Your last name is Paulson?.. U wouldn't happen to be related to Angie Paulson?... Thats your wife?...she still got them big Ol thangs?.. Damn she use to do this thing with her tongue.... Yea.... Angie....


Oh yea by the way the position has been filled....

If they ever ask you what you do for fun?

"I can't give you a tour at this time."

Don’t forget projects.



I’ll bush all assignments / homework. Depending on the company tho.

Yearssss ago got asked mad questions from Monday.com in a Word document and also had access to a build site from Intrigma. Completed both got neither

It is what it is breh, I’m just doing my job. I can’t advance someone unqualified who isn’t a good fit or I lose my job

Never should you do that (hire unqualified) but to not let them know the key qualifications they are lacking does not help neither the prospect nor the prospect of finding a better employee more consistently.

They don't even have to say anything.

When they want you, the vibe is very relaxed and they seem happy and excited. When it's not going well? It feels like no matter what you say, the decision was already made. Catch a whiff of attitude.

Diversity quotas must be met

Good luck on your job search

here are some of my favorites:

"We greatly appreciate you taking the time to apply! After a careful review of your application, we are unfortunately moving forward with other candidates based on specific qualifications for this role.

Our team was impressed by your skills and accomplishments! As we continue to open other roles please keep us in mind, as we hope to be in touch again soon! In the meantime, we wish you the best of luck in your search!

Warmly,

"Thank you for your interest in NO REPLY and the Customer Success Manager role. We know that a lot of companies are hiring and we're thankful you took the time to consider us.

NO REPLY Recruiting Team"


Unfortunately, we have decided not to proceed with your candidacy for the current opening at NO REPLY GANG.

We received many qualified applicants and have decided to move ahead with another candidate who we feel is a better match for this particular position.

Thanks again for your interest in NO REPLY and we wish you luck in your search.

Phoenix, AZ is racist as hell

Had one interview where I walked in and dude refused to even see me
I found the job off some random Craigslist post, and the description was vague as hell
I end up going back off another vague as hell job post months later, forgot the address, once I got there was like fukkit, might as well try, and dude kicks me out again

Had a random interview for "management training"
Nikkas had a group of ppl wait in line all day
Ppl ended up leaving
At the end of the day it was me and 2 other ppl left
They were like congrats u got the job
I was and didn't come back

Had an open interview that me and another nikka walked to that I met on the bus
Nothing but white women, 1 black woman, and a gay dude
I interview with a white woman, she looks at my resume, asks me 2 questions, barely looks at me, and sends me on my way

We meet another breh in the parking lot
He's like how was it?
I tell him bruh it's nothing but white women working there, they don't even give you a chance
He's like bet and walks off

These arent exactly interview siutations but they are a good indicator you are about to have your time wasted.

If your interaction with the company starts with someone emailing you about availability for a phone screening. If they're truly interested, they will call you directly and screen you on the spot.

If you hear "Hi, I'm _____from Robert Half Technologies"
Same goes for Tek Systems as well, I've been corresponding with them since 2018 and til this day, nothing has ever materialized from dealing with them, fukk them

Breh Robert Half is so ass... matter of fact half of these recruiters are ass... its hard to find good recruiters out here

 

[buzzkill]

LMAO, this thread is hilarious. These days there is very little difference between the job search process and online dating. You put in a bunch of applications, go on a lot of interviews, get ghosted, go on more interviews, get ghosted, and eventually (maybe) find one relationship that provides a long term benefits package that vests early

I been telling dudes im mentoring finding jobs in tech is like the dating game... u gotta take ur emotions out, play the numbers game, and realize companies dont want candidates that other companies dont want. U either have to be high value or fake high value til u make it.

“Good Luck”

I don't this one applies to long and highly competitive processes. I've said this to potential hires who eventually got the job.

Currently on my 9th interview just to be a finalist. Think there's 5 more to go.

How much are they paying for you to go through 14 fkn interviews?!

 

[Adeptus Astartes]

Better question... how many of y’all have gotten jobs from applying online and then interviews vs referrals. 95% of the jobs I’ve had have been from referrals.

Every job I've gotten was through internet applications.

200K base with negotiating possibilities.

Worth it, but gah damn. I’ve hired people in that salary range but it only take 3 interviews at most for every position.
