Adventures in Interviewing: Today we were wrapping up a pretty good interview with a strong potential candidate. When asked if they had any last questions, they said that they had an issue with our Work from Home policy (we’re 100% WFH right now, and will not consider a re-opening strategy until everyone is vaccinated). The candidate declared that they did not believe in vaccines, so we needed to allow her to be a permanent remote hire. I guess I’m glad about the dodged bullet, so there’s that.

Another important piece of context: the position the candidate was applying for was on a team that specifically handles work for NGO/development clients and would involve working on campaigns with the immunocompromised AND working on multiple different public health campaigns. 🤦‍♀️ Being an anti-vaxxer would be a very obvious disqualifier, although I thought that would be obvious and I didn’t think to include it in the job description. 😅

That is absolutely incredible and proves common sense is less common than you’d think hahahah.

It also shows that they’re desperate and did not read the job description because they are “spraying and praying” their job applications 😂

Like if you're legit anti-vax keep it to yourself.

What a stupid thing to be your quirky personality trait.
