In a Zoom Job Interview, the Recruiter Asked Me to ‘Show Her Around the Room
- moizici 4y agoI wouldn't want to work at a place where they ask you this.
- 5350-uiop-1130 4y agothis is from reddit, i wouldn't be surprised if it was just made up.
- onemoresoop 4y agoPossible. I also wouldn't be surprised if it's actually real either.
- unsupp0rted 4y agoThis would be word-for-word my response to the interviewer.
- qorrect 4y agoIt's probably because of the massive amount of fraud going on , with people pretending to be someone else to get the job. Reddit seems particularly bad about seeing things from anyone else's perspective.
- kordlessagain 4y agoI don't see where massive amounts of fraud have anything to do with basic human rights to privacy and being treated ethically. In fact, massive amounts of fraud is just a thing people say when they want to distract from something else that constitutes inexcusable corporate cultural behavior.
- montalbano 4y agoSurely seeing photographic identification would be a better way of detecting fraud than seeing someone's room?
- donavanm 4y agoThat’s identification. It doesn’t account for other modes such as candidates having people “coach” them in real-time, either virtually or in the room. Yes, it absolutely does happen. The risk/reward of “cheating” a job interview is fantastic from the candidates perspective.
- selfhoster11 4y agoSo what we're saying here, is that fraudsters aren't smart enough to figure out this measure is being introduced and work around it?
- IceMetalPunk 4y agoHow does seeing the room a person is in prevent fraud? "I see you have a different room than the one I saw when I spied through your window, so I know you're lying about who you are"?
- no-dr-onboard 4y ago“Turn sideways to expose deep fakes” was on the front page yesterday. I can only assume it’s because of candidate fraud.
- andsoitis 4y ago> I asked her why, and she said that the role that requires a lot of organization and time management, and "you can tell a lot about a person from the way their room looks." This made me wonder: when you chat with a colleague over VC, how much does their room's state influence your impression of your colleague?
- breakingcups 4y agoAh yes, the ol' "turn an unverified reddit thread into a news article"
- muttled 4y agoI ended up blocking boredpanda.com from my Google news feed as every day there was some variant on "52 times someone did something negative to someone else".
- avgDev 4y ago"Sorry, I don't show people I just met my private space."
- ThePowerOfFuet 4y ago@dang Should we instead link to the reddit post boredpanda is regurgitating (and monetizing)? https://old.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/wiltka/ https://old.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/wiltka/
