I thought it was time for a rant thread about why the job interviewing process sucks. Feel free to add any that I missed...and keep in mind this is just for fun.
If you overdress, you fail. If you dress too casual, you fail
If you are too confident, you fail. If you aren't assertive enough, you fail.
Experts say "prepare, prepare, prepare". Then if your answers sound prepared, you fail.
They ask questions about weaknesses, but if you give honest answers you fail.
They ask people to interview for positions that are already filled.
They ask why you quit or intend to quit a job. If you're honest, you fail.
If you're too young, you fail. If you're too old, you fail.
We live in a society dependent on money...if you ask about money, you fail.
If the resume is too short, you fail. If it's too long, you fail.
They ask an unemployed person "Where do you see yourself in five years?", and expect a concise answer.
They ask situational questions, which we all know are just an exercise in fictional storytelling.
Search committees...they're the business version of juries. A bunch of random people who you can only hope are objective enough to see both sides.
If you show up late, you fail. If you come in early, you fail.
