I’ve been job hunting for months and keep running into AI interview platforms and assessments. I just did one where I had to record answers into a webcam, alone, with a 2-minute countdown and no way to redo. The actual job is financial analysis, not sales. I know this is the new normal, but it’s draining and demoralizing. How do you stay motivated when this is what you're up against?

Practice the format, even if you hate it. It’s not fair, but preparation helps reduce the awkwardness and boost confidence in a flawed system.

AI interviews may be the new normal, but that doesn’t make them any less frustrating or impersonal. A necessary hurdle. Do the prep needed, and do not take the outcome personally while you get through it.

Well there's always the option of having your own business or bypassing the "intelligence" of AI and altering how you respond so u can land the job u want. OR u could see this as a direct reflection of the direction the company is taking and decide whether or not it's for u

Same here with Video Platforms. Seems like now lots of HR Managers use this tool that in some phones the technology is not sound I’ve had nothing but trouble with Microsoft Teams don’t like this however like Roundabouts there not going anywhere to me this is a form of elimination although you will be told otherwise!

I used to see people who didn't care about current events or politics as intellectually lazy and irresponsible.

However, I feel burnt out on the constant stream of divisive bickering and toxicity.

It feels like ideas don't matter and pragmatism has become a dirty word for both sides.

For the first time in my life, I don't want to know what's happening in the world and I don't care who wins.

Apathy feels good right now.

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?

As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
