Corporate Interviews Are INSANE

[@nickw.9947]

cashier at a small gas station is goated in terms of minimum wage jobs. I spend most of the day sitting by the register playing guitar and watching youtube on a monitor provided by the store owner. I also get tips from people who constantly buy scratch tickets.

[@thuglifebear5256]

Forreal, sounds like you can study whilst doing it too.

[@Biegspoon]

Cashiers around me make $16/hr these days and min wage in my state is still the federal minimum. It’s almost enough to get by at this point and being a 7-11 cashier was probably my favorite job I ever had

[@yeahcxnt]

my first job was at a phone repair shop inside a quiet shopping mall. we only got like 3 customers a day so the rest of my shift i was just sitting there watching youtube and scrolling social media. which is exactly what i would’ve been doing if i was at home except i was being paid so it was great

[@Ektuma]

Yup a cashier job in a small town is a really good job for people who just want to chill or want to do other things while doing a job. There are so many people in our town who does that they can earn way more than a normal paying job if they are smart.

[@saulgoodman5185]

Working at a beer vendor in the ghetto isn't a bad gig either, I mean you do gotta deal with the drunkards and the rotten beer juice from the empties people return, but you get to drink on the job for free and steal a reasonable amount of booze for the rest of your day, it's relatively undemanding most of the time except for beer order once a week and, of course, child tax day is also very very busy. The only really bad parts of the job are when someone pulls a knife and takes a hostage who is usually in on it so they can steal, or getting called off work to do things that aren't your job like delivering packages for Amazon.

I had an interview at a Quality Assurance lab and requested a quick tour of the manufacturing lines. I called out the Plant Manager for not wearing proper PPE, they hired me on the spot.

[@shauryasuri3653]

I took a course at interviewing. You will most likely get contrary evidence questions like tell me your failure and how you managed it, a lot of situational and behavioral questions and the normal questions. When going into an interview, prepare questions and answers to hypothetical questions they may ask. Be ready with stories you can call back to and that can be used in multiple types of questions by slightly yoiking and twisting.

[@athrunzala798]

So i was recently included in some layoffs at work, but luckily was already looking for a new job so wont have anytime without income. In my exit interview survey one of the questions was "If you are leaving for a different company, what could our company done better to keep you?". I had a good laugh and the answer I put was employment lol

[@ian5736]

8:53 as someone who brought an offer to my employer with the hopes they could shift things a bit - and they couldn't - I'd also add to be sure you actually want the offer you bring to the table in case there's no counter. Bad to bring a bluff, and if you stay, you'll have to wait a long time to try again and have it be effective. Awesome vid, fave part of the Atrioc community is the great advice on job search + college + etc.

[@raze667]

I can never get the conflict resolution question correct.. My answer is pretty straightforward: Attempt to calmly ascertain the situation from both perspectives, understand what each side wants, negotiate, and if that fails pass the buck up to the next in line in authority above me.

[@thedarksideofgaming8834]

That is the correct answer, obviously, but not the one they want to hear, apparently. Replace „negotiate“ with „and come to a reasonable compromise“ and don’t even let the possibility of „the higher-ups“ having to do any extra work enter the conversation. They want you specifically to resolve the situation alone, bc they’re lazy fucks. That’s just my take though, and I’m unemployed, so take that with a grain of salt.

[@Wayfarer17683]

Well, that seems like a good answer. I hire a ton and of course this is a question I ask. The intent is to judge if youll take any accountability and be the bigger person to solve or if you push fault to the other person. It could be that you need to be more definite in your final answer. Always end with the impact and that you solved the conflict

[@TheAmazingBenoslav]

tbh, not resolving the conflict but passing to another authority when the question is to resolve it - does seem like its not a position you are ready for on a regular basis.

[@raze667]

@@TheAmazingBenoslav that's fair... But also unrealistic. Disputes cannot be resolved 100% of the time. If I was interviewing for an authority position I might give a different answer. But, knowing when something has gone beyond your capabilities and stepping aside is reasonable in my opinion. That being said, there's probably a reason I don't get the positions when this situation comes up. So idunno

[@dorkk5431]

Contorting your resume is so real. My first job was at a pet daycare and I just sat around with dogs all day. At an interview for a retail job after that, I told them all about how I'd deal with the customers (I talked to a total of 2 customers during that job)

[@radeklew1]

8:20 biggest thing to keep in mind in a situation like this is that there's literally no downside to asking for a raise. If they say no, say that you'll have to quit in a few weeks or that you have a better offer. It's possible they're paying you less than you're worth to them because they think they can get away with it, and saying you're leaving makes it clear that's not the case. Nothing to lose if you're quitting anyway

[@Anything_Random]

I used to be neighbours with a professor from one of the big Canadian med schools and my sister was trying to get into medical so he gave her his “10 golden rules for medical interviews” (it might have been 12) and literally rule #1 was DO NOT answer that you got into medical to help people. He said it’s probably the biggest turn off to interviewers and signals to them that you’re not taking things seriously.

[@XEimaNte]

The playing with blocks interview... I think i had that for a retail job. The test comes after you built it. They aggressively destroy what you did right after, and are actually testing if you react normal like a normal human to when your hard work gets fucked up or if you throw a fit.

I had a interview at a startup as a designer. They had a big whiteboard and camera pointed to it and asked me to use it to "draw my life" like those old popular videos. I didn't get the job.

I got hired at Chipotle with no former experience with fast food/customer service by summiting a super minimal online application and the next day I got called asking when I could start and been working there for half a year now. I relate with that guy at 2:30 . Literally got no training when I started, It was just a trial by fire learning on the job and having people get annoyed/helping me for a month lmfao.

[@benallmon5613]

Have management experience. It's mostly situational questions. But my last time I interviewed was for Walmart and I had done the job they were hiring for, but at a higher volume facility than the one they were hiring for. We did more volume in 1 day than they did in a week. But I got denied because "I didn't follow the STAR method". Situation, Task, Action, Resolution. So stupid because I did follow it. Interviews are brutal.

[@strongmaniac44]

Thanks ædish

[@mbomb1126]

For the whole med school thing saying you want to help people and make a difference is not what sets you apart, it's the expectation. They want to know why you deserve it. 'Why should we let you be a shoveler?' 'oh cause I like to hold shovels and dig dirt' 'Yeah... Would be surprised if you applied to a job where that was the main responsibility and you didn't want to do it'

[@Savings_and_Grift_Plan]

When I did the interview to get into graduate business school, it was all the sappy questions, but it was pretty obvious they were doing it as a formality because they desperately needed the money / enrollment. It was the near end of covid and my cohort was one of the smallest in the school's history. (not like this was a bad school by any stretch either, top 20)

You really can’t go wrong if you show genuine interest, have some passion for the work, and are confident but not cocky. All on top of being qualified in the top candidates for the role. I think what some people dont understand is their competition and how they compare.

I wish they like zoom called us or something cause I’m fine when put in front of someone.

I think the toys r us interview actually makes sense. If you find it embarrassing as an adult to interact, endorse or play with toys then working at a toy company would probably suck.

In college I had an interview for early morning custodial. The guy spent a few minutes telling me that the building was old and no one really even cared if it was clean anymore so it would be a pretty chill job. At the end of the interview, he offered me the job and when I accepted he looked up confused and said “wait, really?”

[@gabrieldoon]

Hate the break it to you guys, but the gov hiring process is arguably worse than private sector. It's incredibly easy to unknowingly disqualify yourself because you missed one specific piece of info or didn't perfectly communicate one of the KSAs listed on the USAJobs post. Or worse, you apply for a job a grade up but the closing date is a week before you officially hit one year in your current grade.

I always find it weird that people will just send out job applications en masse and hope one sticks. I hear people say they've sent out hundreds of applications without getting them, when I just pick strategically and adapt my resume to target it. I've never put out more than 10 applications without getting a job and I don't even have any real qualifications other than enough charisma to get along with interviewers

Charisma is legitimately the only thing you need to succeed in a lot of corporate environments. It's like a superpower. Even if you're bad at your job, people will just like having you around.

Worked at a gun store for about 4 years, during my interview they brought me to the floor and would pull 6 rifles off the wall and ask stuff like "which one is an SKS" or "which one is bullpupped" and would do the same with pistols etc. While it sounds funny, it actually was really smart since you probably want people who are knowledgeable in guns to be selling them.
