I've been unemployed for two months now, and it seems like every other interview is a one-way video. I really struggle with them – I get so much more nervous recording myself than I do talking to a real person, and I feel like I mess up more. Why do hiring managers actually prefer these over live interviews?

I hadn't heard these were very common. Perhaps it's a regional thing. I don't really understand what the value could be of doing that. You want to hire people who relate to people in real time, so putting them in an artificially awkward situation doesn't seem like it would tell me anything I'd want to know.

I've seen this a lot too. It seems to be especially popular in the sales industry. Is that because there's so much hiring and turnover? I'm not sure, but I agree, it's not a good way at all to get a good first impression from a candidate. I freeze up in those interviews too

Have an acquaintance who is a single mom; she purchased a used car 3 mos ago. Six wks later her 17yo wrecked it, air bags deployed, and estimates have ranged between $10-$18k in needed repairs while $21k is still owed. Acquaintance was switching insurance policies and flubbed the coverage dates and there were a few days where the vehicle was uninsured. No GAP insurance. I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?

Offer from AMZN @ 160 TC, just got promo @ D to M, comp statements don't come out until first week in June. Would probably stay if comp came in equal or slightly above. What are the chances?

Was hoping AMZN would be higher but they pegged the role a lvl lower than originally discussed during the process...so here we are.

Not sure if I should play my hand and push for more to stay or if they will just say "wait 5 weeks or here is the door"
