How is this related to a job offer from a department that doesn't exist at all?
And no, it wasn't particularily interesting since I am incapable of falling for optical illusions.
- mafuy 6y agoI'm confused. I don't know why you're incapable of falling for optical illusions, but that video did not have one. It explained the concept of attention blindness. If you look for something else, then you may miss the gorilla in the room, even though it is as obvious as can be. Same goes for job offers. You're primarily looking to get the great job, and involuntarily and unknowingly enter a kind of tunnel vision.
- mlang23 6y agoAnd that tunnel vision includes not even looking at the department which supposedly offers that job to you? Since everyone seems to beat the same horse, I feel like I have to declare that of course, everyone can make a slip up, nobody is free of failure, we are all human. This is so obvious that I feel stupid stating it. But we're talking about a journalist. The protagonists of a story do have an influence on its perception.
