Applicant shaming 🤦‍♂️ I’m tired of workplace politics!

OP - agreed. As job seekers we lack enthusiasm and all of that other nonsense because we know that it’s a dog and pony show. The reality is that we are interviewing for the job because we need a paycheck and benefits!

And might I add, we can do all of the things listed in the pic and STILL get ghosted or declined.

Having worked in both the recruitment industry and employed many people, and conducted 100s of interviews, sadly the points made are valid.

So bad. I like how it doesn’t mention the fact that companies interview 20+ people for each one role.

Right! 95% of the applicants don't make it to the second round because there's only one position. The poster wrote that post to make herself feel good, not to help people land new roles.

#4 is so dumb. Why would a candidate be there if they didn’t want that job?

like

Let's be real here. Some people just need money it it's what available. Not everyone has a love for the job they love, sadly.

Aka the candidate didn’t shuck and jive and kiss butt to show that they want the job. As a recruiter all I need to know and assess from someone is do they meet the requirements and criteria first on paper, then assess through meeting them, are they capable of carrying the tasks out required of the job? Are they professional? Is this person reliable, respectful of others? All that extra stuff is fluff. And I can’t stand when orgs ask “why do you want to work here?” The obvious, you’re hiring and I need a job.

Exactly i don't get the hate here, it's professional chemistry. Unless you're showcasing your talent somehow, how is the interviewer expected to rate you as a candidate? We're not psychics, so yes relating to the opposite person is a basic thing. Don't get me wrong , you'll know if you're vibing or not. I don't want to pull the generation card, but we all know which one likely has an issue with such common sense tips.

This individual's LinkedIn post is not helpful. The argument oversimplifies the hiring decision process and is based on the assumption that the poster is a competent interviewer. Also, the poster is laboring under the cognitive bias called functional attribution error. The individual is overemphasizing the role of the applicant's personal characteristics or actions (e.g., not connecting with the interviewer, not showing enthusiasm) while underestimating the influence of situational or external factors (e.g., the applicant's qualifications, the job market, or the interviewer's own biases).

I don’t understand the call out for HR opinions at the end but none of this is really very controversial stuff. “Be good at interviewing” is not toxic advice for job candidates.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.

Does anyone else feel that the more content someone puts in their LinkedIn headline, the more full of it they are? I say this as someone with a bunch of stuff lol but at least it’s all at one company and accurate.

I’m talking mostly about two kinds of people. 1. The influencer who is actually unemployed, but lists 25 BS things they do
2. The brand collector, who writes “ex-“ for every former company they worked at and school they went to. Maybe less full of it but still insufferable.

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying.
