I used to do a lot of interviewing of prospective hires at my last job (I’m a programmer). It was not at all uncommon to ask a candidate a question and then hear multiple voices whispering in the background along with frantic keyboard tapping sounds, and the candidate would take 5-10 seconds before answering. I just don’t understand what their thought process was for even attempting this - it earned them an immediate “no further action”.
I won’t say what country all of these candidates were from. It would be obvious to anyone in this field.
Was reading a resume, and at the bottom is said something along the Iines of “Does this one look better Mom? I added a few closed businesses like you recommended.”
It started kinda sweet but dumb, then quickly moved on to the “do not consider for future positions” list.
I added a few closed businesses like you recommended.
Lol. It’s funny, the college I went to went belly up a few years back, and it occurred to me that I could basically say I had whatever degree I wanted to have on my resume and there’d be no easy way for an employer to check it out. I don’t have a Computer Science degree, but I never found that to be the slightest hindrance to my career so I was never tempted to lie about my degree. With the way the CS field has gone tits up lately I would probably have to do something like that to even be considered for a job, but I’m a school bus driver now so I don’t give a shit.

We’ve had similar before. Interviewed multiple people and most of them were clearly in the same room.
