FYI, these days, at many places, refusal to turn on video leads to a reasonable suspicion that you are a fake candidate or are trying to cheat on the interview, and thus an automatic no hire.
- b20000 3y agoand how would you cheat?
- tetromino_ 3y agoWith the help of a human accomplice, google, and/or chatgpt. The most brazen and simplest way would be to get someone else to do the interview for you.
- bruce511 3y agoNot to mention, it's a simple filter which requires no more explanation. Bear in mind that there are always plenty of candidates for any post. Any possible (legal) way of filtering that down to 3 is great. Being able to say "wouldn't/ couldn't turn on video in meeting" is a great score for the person detailed with reducing the list. (Sure, maybe today your webcam is broken or maybe you don't like the idea of a webcam being permanently attached, but making this your point of difference will seldom move you up the selection list.)
- b20000 3y agoso you admit that you discriminate on appearance or personality
- bruce511 3y agoAbsolutely. Appearance is an important factor when dealing with customers. I consider it an important measure in an interview as well. I'm not prejudiced against any specific appearance but show me some effort, to match the respect you should be showing, in applying for the job. Equally personality is important. You'd be working with other folk, for other folk, interacting with customers mangers, subordinates, peers and so on. Frankly if you're a dick you won't be a good fit with us. On the other hand there are companies that love hiring trouble makers and misfits, so by all means you do you, and more power to you.
