How do you find work?

• brandon272 10y ago
  Most jobs in this world do not require a laborious interview process with timed puzzles and riddles. Bear in mind that the companies that do put people through that kind of thing do it because they can. When you have people lined up down the street to work for you, you can be very selective in who you hire and put them through all kinds of skill tests before hiring, to triple check that they have the requisite skills. Many (most?) companies do not have that luxury.

    > Most jobs in this world You're not US based then? Because I can say with some certainly that most advertised jobs in the US absolutely do. Granted, most open jobs in the US aren't advertised, but I haven't found a way to reliably find jobs that are both open and unadvertised.

      Sorry, I was referring to literally most jobs, not just the ones in our industry. Electricians, plumbers, writers, accountants, etc. are not typically solving timed riddles and jumping through silly hoops to get their jobs. There will be technical questions, yes, but for the most part their experience is presumed and the employer assumes some risk by hiring them and having them go through a probationary period.
