Often it is the datasets that the AI is trained on.
I stumbled upon a linkedin post by a recruiter telling the story of a candidate who failed to show up for an on-site interview and never replied to any of her follow up calls, texts, or emails. The same person who had “ghosted” the recruiter had the nerve to apply for a similar job a year later and his resume had once again landed on her desk and she wasn’t going to give him a second chance.
There were hundreds of comments on this, the majority of them from people complaining about the opposite, recruiters “ghosting” candidates. Very heated discussion, people telling stories of all the stuff they did (including project work) and then they never heard back from recruiters.
It was fascinating (yep I spent a while scrolling through and reading most of the thread). Many people saying how the entire system is broke (including recruiters - Linkedin is very heavily used by recruiters). I tend to agree with that.
I’m on the side of the candidate. Recruiters are notorious for ghosting candidates…when they’re the ones who called them in the first place. I’ve ghosted recruiters before and received call backs after applying a year later. It’s nothing personal. Things happen, jobs happen. the candidate could’ve got a 1 year contract job and is looking for something permanent.
Well despite the whole country shutting down, my daughter has still been job interviewing. Everything is being done remotely with conferencing tools. She has another presentation to do this weekend for an interview next week.
Good luck to your daughter!
The interview went very well, they basically told her she will be getting an offer. And the dream job at her preferred company just emailed to set up a skype interview for next week. The good interview really boosted her confidence. All that rejection had been getting her down.
I continue to be amazed at how much work getting a new job entails. Now she needs to enter 5 work references into an automated system and include email and phone number and do it within 1 business day. Of course she doesn’t have all the phone numbers she needs - so she will need to reach out to some of them and get the correct information.
The market for desirable jobs has been an employer’s market for some time now. Recent events (COVID-19 and associated effects on business) make it even more of an employer’s market.
You can always give the main corporate number where a reference works if you’re in a time crunch. The switchboard will direct them to the right person.
Well the dream job is on hold (she did well on the interviews this week). They are not going to fill it until May (looks like holding off on any hiring.) Not surprising but still disappointing. Still waiting for potential offer from company she give the references to earlier this week.
She got an offer today. Pretty sure she is going to take it. They want her to start in two weeks and work from home and even on board from home.
@kiddie So happy for your daughter. Especially in this current environment, she should be super proud of herself!
@kiddie Glad to hear the good news!
Niiiiiice…
One of my kids heard this in an interview:
Imagine you have a 3” by 3” by 3” wooden cube that’s been painted black on all surfaces.
Now imagine that the cube is sliced in all three directions, leaving a group of 1” by 1” by 1” cubes.
Now you’re looking at one of these smaller cubes as it is laying on a table, and can see all of its surfaces except the surface that is face down.
None of the visible surfaces is painted black. What is the probability that the hidden side is also unpainted?
It can be visualized and solved in under a minute, but it isn’t easy.
total 27 small cubes
1 cube all white
6 cubes with 1 black side
The rest with more than 1 black side - no go
Probability is 1/(1+6)= 1/7
In high school I would do it in 1 min but I am past 60 so it took 3 min
