Why is Anne Hathaway looking at me like she’s my kid brother and mom just said it’s his turn to use the computer?
Ugh I got an email like that just a few days ago. “Make a 3min video explaining why you want to work for us and what you bring to the table”. I sway back and forth between refusing to be their stupid dancing monkey and being desperate enough for a new job to consider it. The company itself seems like a shitshow (an AI startup that works with insurance companies) but the job posting itself is in exactly the niche I like with the exactly the technologies I specialize in and the pay is extremely competitive. Honestly idk if I’m gonna go for it or if I have any ounce of self-respect.
Me: I renewed my license this year.
Them: how does a $50k sign-on bonus sound?
Me: extremely suspicious.
I don’t this one. Is this an adobe thing i’m too FOSS to understand?
“You must have 15 years experience working for this company”
-Startup Company
“Great, I have a 40 years experience.”
“Unfortunately you are too old.”
”We need someone with 10 years of experience with this API”
”I’m the creator of this API, and I created it 7 years ago”
”Unfortunately, we regret to inform you you’re not qualified for this position”
Grok, generate a CV, cover letter, and video so I get the job. Make it so good that they double the offered payment.
