Do you sense a theme in my posts lately?
So, yes, I’m still looking for work and it’s still on my mind.
I’ve had some phone interviews and I think something is about to break, but I don’t want to jinx it by going into details. So, instead, I’m going to talk about what terrifies a job candidate most; the interview. Let’s face it, even those of us who have done a bunch of these still dread them. I, personally, think I interview well, but I still hate having to do them. I’m always sure that I’m going to say the wrong thing and submarine my chances. And, to be completely honest, at least once, I did. Granted, that was fourteen years ago and I’ve learned from the mistake, but, still, I think about it every time I get ready to interview.
But, it’s Friday, so let’s not dwell on the existential dread of job interviews. Instead, let’s laugh about them! Vitamin T, with the help of the Webbys and Upright Citizens Brigade, have put together four uncomfortably funny videos about How Not To Get Hired In the Tech Industry. I can tell you that I’ve encounter all four types of people in the tech industry, though, thankfully, not when I was a hiring manager.
In any case, it’s Friday and the videos are funny, so enjoy! (And have a Happy Easter!)
