I predict that that will be followed shortly by a mysterious sharp increase in applicants claiming to have nystagmus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nystagmus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nystagmus), which causes random involuntary eye movements, but without any medical documentation.
- Volundr 3y agoWhat's interesting is this wouldn't necessarily imply cheating. That doesn't sound like an issue I'd necessarily draw attention to under normal circumstances, but if I knew interviewers were likely to be paying close attention to my eye movements I certainly would.
- ThrowawayR2 3y agoYes, exactly. I have nystagmus myself because of an underlying medical condition that causes other vision problems and it's depressing that interviewers might think it's reason for suspicion.
- bitzun 3y agoI've been a pain in the ass in quite a few feedback sessions when people brought up a candidate not making "enough" eye contact. Usually I mention that they could be treading into infringing on a protected class and they shut up.
