- Perhaps the only thing more BS than work itself, is the job interview and the process of even getting the job in the first place. Gen Z has seen through this BS though and we expose these entitled employers in this video!

I hate when employers ask questions like, "why do you want to work here?" I don't know, to make money??
It's the same reason they are there the goddamn money why is this so hard to understand
It's weird how people want to show superiority @@nobody-yk2hu
I think its because all the employers want to find obedient dogs to work and if you dont want to be that then theyll find another person who is a obedient dog
"I'm not a fan of starving."
In all seriousness, employers ask this question to test applicants whether they care enough about the company that they did some research on its culture, vision and mission, and the problems it is facing and how you intend to solve it (hence, the job application).
They're not bias toward introverts, they're bias to people who won't stand up to their crap 💀
Why do they always want us to smile when we are working?
Cause.......WhO'S nuMBer OnE?
Your lack of enthusiasm causes them discomfort.

And they get mad when Gen Z goes a different way. Lol
Had 3 job interviews in the past 2.5 months, all of which were paying higher. Haven't heard a response despite, the fact I contacted the employers multiple times simply asking for an update. That's the current job market for you. And as a note, I was clear and straight to the point in my answers, making sure I didn't sound ambiguous. Employers 5 years ago, had the decency to inform you of their decision.
your wrong about that 5 years ago they would still not imorm you on there desion
@joesmith8701 On the contrary most of them did, only after the events of the "virus" did more of them stop.
@joesmith8701 On the contrary they still did, it depended on the type of employer.
Also my experience. Nobody bothers replying to you anymore. They lack basic decency.
Last interview I had, I was told I got the job and to come in the next day at 10am to start the onboarding paperwork with HR since that department had already gone home for the day. I show up the next day, and the guy who told me to come in said "oh sorry, yesterday was crazy. For some reason I forgot that I already hired someone for this position last week. You should check back with us in a few months when we may have another opening. Look forward to seeing you again!". All I'm gonna say, is I was feeling a lot like Mario's brother for the remainder of that week. It's all such bullshit.
I got interview where the manager was happy to start working with me at a company that provides training services. He offered me a minimum wage and i accepted anyways since he seemed nice and the workload is managable. After 4 days of training. He called me and changed his mind and he said "you have experience in the banking industry and you will probably won't stay with us for 1 year because you are more likely to find a higher paining job". I was lucky that he revealed his red flags before i sign a contract with him.
Atleast he was honest
The job interview process has become a skillset itself. I've been to so many job interviews where the interviewer didn't even ask me anything relevant or about the job or my skills at all, just asked inane BS questions like this. I once got asked how many friends I had in 4th grade.
Here in Romania there are job fairs physically. If you ask all of these HR people what is a candidate that they want to work for them, it's always extrovert, female and even immigrant. Then they cry in the media 'we can't find programmers we can't find engineers' yet they discriminate 99% of the people who waste their time applying. I asked them and because I'm a man they even looked weird at me as if I was from a horror movie or something.
Wow…sounds exactly like the USA.
time to become a trans woman
@ no sir that's damaging, a furry is just a costume on top of whatever you got under it so it's a far better thing, unless you're introvert, then it won't even matter xD
I've lost so many opportunities in the UK because I don't fit their 'diversity quotas'.
List of "interesting" questions that i was asked in job interviews:
Why do you want to work here? (Classic but still got to include it)
Tell us somethimg about yourself that isn't on your resume
Are you applying for a job in any other companies?
Why do you think you would be a good match for this position?
How would you try to improve this position's efficiency if we hired you?
I hate how companies ask this but pay you only enough to live paycheck to paycheck
I once got asked about one of my hobbies and how it would relate to my work at the job. Like, what? It was totally unrelated to the job I was supposed to be doing.
At this point Day Trading has better ROI than applying to jobs
No no no. I've been there. It's completely random. I've literally simulated countless equity curves, created randomly generated candlestick charts in Excel and compared them to real price charts, back tested many "strategies" for probably hundreds of hours, and it all points to randomness. The spread/fees, and swaps will eat you up sloooowly. Even if you know how to calculate your position size and be risk averse, you have no edge above bank traders who actually do this for a living. Insider trading happens every day, and bank traders get away with it, because they are basically hiding behind the law.
Trading is just another form of gambling. Even if you are risk averse, calculate your position sizing (1% or less per trade), etc., you will eventually give up and/or lose everything.
Multiple studies tracking hundreds of thousands of traders over many years prove that 98-99% of all traders lose and/or give up, no matter how smart or risk averse they are. Your odds are basically 0%. It's all random anyway. I simulated fake candlestick charts and compared them to real charts. They are the same thing. It's astrology for men.
@dee23gaming I know, but the same goes for the job market. Spending time, energy & resources for months, preparing for interviews that yield no return, it's death by a thousand cuts
@@joyboy-zx Yeah, I guess we're ducked both ways...
Dude called "The Companies Expert" has a channel on which he covers some of those goofy questions and recruitment practices.
They just want to sell your information and aquire your social security number
You guys are getting interviews!!??
It's an absolute joke. Jump through all these hoops and BS interviews just to make these places thousands of dollars a day then they give you $20 a day and think you should be grateful for it.
20/8
That's 2.5$/hr
@@bloodybladenum1920 after taxes, gas, miles, food, uniform, and other expenses to get to the minimum wage job it's pretty accurate.
Where do you see yourself in five years? Well because companies don't give real raises anymore, I'll leave the company to go somewhere else so I can get a pay increase.
Low skill, no education, and no experience required jobs will have you spend an hour making an account on their website to apply. Once you finish the application, you need to take a mandatory 45min personality test. "If a customer assaults you with a weapon, what would you do?" A. Defend yourself B. Give them what they want C. Alert the authorities or D. Protect the nearby single mother with her 2yr old daughter. Holy fuck dude, like all options are either ALL viable or ALL horrible, there's never an objective correct answer and it is so fucking infuriating. This has to be what that book "Bullshit Jobs" talks about, they create useless positions to fill just for the fuck of it to give people something to do. It's a game that is deliberately designed to be unwinnable.
these questions are beyond ridiculous
Job interviews are just an exercise in lying and dishonesty. It's wasting everyone's time, including the employer's, but first and foremost the prospective employee's time. On top of the ridiculous questions, you have all the attendant tasks you have to perform, like personality tests, or case studies and the like, which are totally bogus and a waste of time as well. You also have to provide a CV and references (did you say more lying and nepotism?) Then there are multiple job interviews. Don't get me started on those!
It doesn't get better with Mom and Pop businesses either.
"I'm in it for the fucking money."
-from me
Meanwhile, managers will refuse to fire their besties who chitchat and use their cellphones for 4 hours every shift. Charity for besties, sleigh very for enemies, even if they do the work of 3 employees. Sleighves are okay to ah salt. Even HR approves of such targeted treatment even when they see the security footage
That's pretty dark actually. People who decide who gets hired can abuse power. For example not hire male but hire the attractive female. And not hiring someone because they don't like you for some personal reason that has nothing to do with if you can do the job or not
On the flip side you should be asking just as many questions. How much will you be paid and how long until you get a raise and how much that will be. Ask about the highest paid guys there. Get an idea if it's actually a dead end job or something you want to stick with and make money. Ask about time off and sick leave. Ask about overtime. The list goes on.
True
Nowadays it's so dogshit every job is a deadend job
@@ВладиславВладислав-т1жexactly, it's great advice but with the current market it's easier to assume most jobs are bs
@@samuraitadpole5459 because they are. Most job offers are 3 different high-end positions paid like one low wage position
@@ВладиславВладислав-т1жOnly when the dollar becomes worthless. Then it's sticks and stones time.
We should just let robots take over. Then we should force the rich to quit from this world once they try to run away with all their money. I hope everyone understood what I meant.
If robots run most things the rich has no choice but to ensure regular people don't starve, otherwise your comment becomes reality. People will accept a lot of abuse but once starving there's a ticking time bomb
The rich are not the issue. Stop self victimizing yourself. Anybody can become rich/wealthy. Are you gonna "force" yourself to "quit" when you get rich???? Uhh no. How about instead of looking at other people's pockets - you instead start working on a solution for the force thats stopping you.
@@yosponge4919The rich fucked up the hiring process and are getting rid of jobs at a record rate, so even trying to be a hotshot entrepreneur is 30x harder than it used to be Mr. Boot swallower.
@@yosponge4919 Not everyone can become rich, that is mathematically impossible.
@yosponge4919 the rich are the problem.
Yeah internships is basically slave job with the illusion of gaining work experience
If you see a interview like this dont bother trying to get a job like this. This will be hell even after you get a job. Its better o work a factory job and earn less than to work white colar job and deal with toxicity like this. Speaking from experience.
Indeed, the politics, the lies and the constant passive aggressive attitude are insufferable. Better to do manual labor, but even some manual jobs now days have politics....
@@johncompton2775 Yes but you can do complicated manual labor i for example wanted to start a motherboard PC repair store. Its complicated so education is required but it still a grind to get all the steps right. People need to understand that management/IT/any jobs where you "flip" numbers and letters all day, are fields that are saturated to the max.
Love this Ai voice
Job shadowing would help a lot to check out a day to day of the company. I don’t even though if people do job shadowing these days tbh
That's something really is a nightmare and having big trouble really hard to get money changed without a bank along with having to travel to said bank and they expect you to wrap it really life is hard these days. Hate to be in trouble for this but still as you said things don't look too good now and job market is cooked. At least I managed to get there and found out they still changed but don't know how long that's going to last.
Go to job
Guy: can you pick it up?
Also guy: stands right besides the thing and refuses to move.
I pick up 70lb awkwardly because i don’t want this thing that is taller than me to hit the guy.
Guy: ah you can’t do it.
Me: if i hit him with this thing i clearly am holding, can i pass it off as his recklessness or will his ‘you can’t pick it up’ not hold up in court as a defense?
"Why do you want to work for us" is the question that pisses me off like no other. My guy, I don't give a single fuck about your company. In fact if your competitor offered me more money within 5 seconds of getting the job, I would drop you like a hot potato. And, "where do I see myself in 5 years?" Making more money. Next stupid question? Would be real nice if you could answer "why do you want to work for us" by saying money and that wouldn't make them instantly decide you're a bad fit...
And of course can't forget about "You need 5 years of experience in a skill that has only existed for 1.5 years". I will never not rake these corpos over the coals for this but there was a twitter post from the guy who invented the FastAPI web framework from about 4-ish years ago talking about a job he found requiring 4 years experience with it saying how he couldn't apply since the tech was only 1.5 years old. 😅
If it aint got nothing to do with name, number, resume, male or female, veteran stauts/disablitly staus.....than i not answering your other questions. Go look at my resume for all that extra stuff. That was the purpose for creating the resume in the first place.
Like dont you just h8 it when certain applications force you to "sign up for an account" just to get rejected by the job offer. Its completely stupid. I dont understand how they expect to find workers when they make the application process difficult to apply.
i am a 34 year old single man i am lucky i got socal housing as its hard to get now adays i was working as a labouer for 9 years lost my job went on basic benfits had a mental break down then was dignosed with BPD a year later i am on limited capasity for work and work related activtys i make almost 2k per month and my rent is like 600 i am better of now then when i was working full time lol
Social housing thing is really unfair
Because it's way cheaper. People who do get it live for free and the once who don't have to share house just to be able to afford rent
@@tanura5830 its not free its just not insane rent i was on no benfits when i got this place still had to pay council tax ect
I was asked my views on same sex marriage, and Roe V. Wade. They did not like my answers and I didn’t get the job.
Then there is the pre employment test you ask them what it is about and it is completely different from what they said this happened to me at 2 jobs for computer science. They said it is easy an aptitude test you dont need to know probramming. Yet they aren't aptitude test at all I done them before only failed one
I'm actually a millennial, but I still get these stupid questions on most interviews. I do have a bit more experience in answering them than Gen Z.
I’m 18 and still haven’t worked. Yeah I’m broke and live in the streets but atleast I have my own time
@4:39 Well, they need excuses why they did not hire you.
I've been watching quite a few videos of yours and I must say you're doing a good job,. What you're doing is an ACTUAL job, not that minimum-wage McDonalds stuff🔥
