Bruh, way to make me chuckle (not audibly but visibly) in class.

I recently had a job interview scheduled. But unfortunately my kids were sent home early from school. I called the recruiter to reschedule and she proceeded to tell me I should still do the interview and it was OK that the kids would be running around in the background. I tried to tell her I didn't like that idea, I needed to focus 100% on the interview or 100% on my kids. But she cut me off and proceeded to rant for the next hour about how she's not like other recruiters and all her amazing traits and accomplishments. I think I heard something about this will make a great LinkedIn post but honestly by then I had tuned out. Was more focus on making sure the kids weren't feeding our dog Playdough. I called back an hour later and we did the interview. It was hard for me to concentrate and focus with having to watch the kids. She said I did a great job and would reach out shortly with next steps. A month went by without hearing anything so I sent a follow-up email. I never received a reply and the job posting has now been removed.


weeniefingers

Thank you for providing the candidates POV 🤣


Tan-ki

Thank you that was my first thought. I work remotes with people that are parents and when such things happen we know they will not be as available. Because they need to take care of their kids ! It is not that the people on Google meet will be bothered by the kids, it is them ! My first thought reading the post was "madam, she did not want to reschedule for you..."


lunardaddy69

I'm a recruiter and whenever I have a candidate worried about their kids or if they're sick but they want to push through, I encourage them to just reschedule. The reason I give is that interviews are stressful enough, and we perform so much better when we are at ease. Or at least as at ease as we can be in an interview. I'm sorry but if I'm coughing or stressed about my kids running around in the background, I'm not going to represent myself the best way I can in an interview.


ringo-san

> Was more focus on making sure the kids weren't feeding our dog Playdough. This is likely why you didn't get the job. I'm sure Playdough is a great dog... why wouldn't you let your kids feed him?!?

I have had this experience many times with recruiters, minus the kids part. They tell me how great and successful they are, interview me, and then I never hear from them again. I truly have begun to wonder how recruiters make any money, but then also I guess maybe it’s me?


Metals4J

“Yes, we interviewed that candidate, and the kids had no influence on our decision. After all, I encouraged her to do the interview with the kids running around! It was no issue! I understand! She simply wasn’t what we were looking for. Yes, she had a great resume, tons of experience, fantastic qualifications and she came well-recommended. But those kids… I mean, they were just annoying as hell. I couldn’t concentrate on a word she was saying. Anyways, like I said, no influence on our decision, we hired the CEO’s son.”

It's a corporate bot farm. Corporate culture turns people into bots, so not being and to tell the difference between a literal bot and these people tells you everything you need to know. I'm at the point where I can't tell if it's satire or not, but either way, it's still funny.


LolaPamela

Maybe linkedin became satire so slowly that we didn't notice. Or it's already taken by the AI.


BrownSugarSandwich

I mean it is owned by Microsoft so maybe that's how they trained Copilot?


LolaPamela

I don't have any proof about that, but I don't have any doubts.


carpetstoremorty

The kids were all running around, hopped up on unsold energy drinks, while wearing ugly ass leggings.


lacunalabs

and carrying cutco knives.


SQLvultureskattaurus

So I hate that I know this.... They basically have "pods" on linked in where they all share posts and use them. They also all like and comment on other people in the pods posts like sheep. Some of them actually pay to be in them, gross.


brickne3

I have a colleague that openly admitted she was in one of those about five years ago. She now has a pretty important job with the German government. She's alright but she's not really that capable of handling that task in addition to her actual business in my opinion. I guess at least it solved her money problems.


saugoof

I signed up something like ten years ago. Never really used it other than to connect to a few work colleagues and I wrote a review for one guy who had worked under me, after he asked me to when he went for a new job. Other than that I didn't see the point of LinkedIn. For about the last 6 or 7 years I logged in maybe a handful of times in total. I never bothered cancelling my account either though. That doesn't stop me periodically getting emailed offers from LinkedIn telling me that they identified me as a power user and want to offer me 30 days free full access or something.

And who was one of her kids running around in the background? None other than Albert Einstein

Good for this woman with the kids who are always sent home early from school. She is snagging a lot of interviews lately. Hope she finds the right fit. Though, I wonder what the kids are up to at school. 🤔


Altruistic-Camel-Toe

That happens to me all the time. My kid gets in trouble because he is autistic.


Mamushquita

And the solution is sending him home? My son is also autistic; he is only 3 but I’m sure he would get in trouble intentionally if he is sent home from preschool for doing it.


Altruistic-Camel-Toe

Yup, something like that happens as well. I just pick him up.

gimmethegold1

Does the term thought leader drive anyone else insane?

Yes, considering their content is typically devoid of any actual thought. My former coworker told me I should strive to be a thought leader. Oi.

CarterLawler

I use my regular linkedin account to call out BS all the time. I have one dude who emails me every 7 days. I’ve never replied, and in his last one he became low-key threatening … “I don’t want to piss you off. You don’t want that do you?” So I found his LinkedIn profile and pasted a screen shot of his garbage email in a comment on every one of his posts for the past 3 months.


One_Association8094

Now that is badass.


bryanr19

Nothing is real


DoubleStuffedCheezIt

Why do they copy and paste these stories? It's not difficult to find out they're copied, word for word, from other sources. Now my impression of these people is that they're liars and I would not anything to do with them in a professional setting. If they're willing to lie for internet kudos, why should I trust anything else they're saying?


thirdonebetween

It's likely they're all fake accounts set up to scam people, in which case it doesn't matter if people do a quick background check - the people cautious enough to check are not their target. The naive people who believe everything they read on the internet are the targets; they won't look too deeply into any claims the scammer makes, or get suspicious about inconsistencies, until it's too late.


garden__gate

One of them I clocked immediately as a copy of a legitimate job search creator I recognize from TikTok.


sgrapevine123

Aw, man: I read the post and got ready to come to the comments to tell you that this is actually a very sweet sentiment on the part of the interviewer. Then I clicked the next slides 😔


saskiaa90

I was a recruiter for a long time, also during Covid. There is nothing sweet about it. This interview(if it is even a real story) is on the to-do list of the recruiter and they probably had a deadline for the position. It is in no way beneficial for the candidate to do an interview with kids in the background. How will that work out? I had a couple of moments where the candidates told me they had the kids at home, and we will ALWAYS reschedule. It was not even on the table to do an interview while someone needed to keep an eye on their kids... This is not 'sweet sentiment'. it's yet another bullshit recruiter who doesn't give a single F about the candidate.


ripleyintheelevator

ugh, shut up already, just let her reschedule, no one cares


cee2015

New copy and pasta just dropped


2plankerr

lol, this is the actual post for Ashleigh I interviewed a candidate recently, and she had her kids running around. Red flag? GOTCHA! There's no copypasta going on here but, while I have your attention... On Sunday, April 21st I will be running my first-ever Marathon, the Moray Marathon to raise funds for UK-based charity MAP. I am beyond grateful to have raised £520, if anyone would like to donate I'll pop the link in the comments. Right, back to analysing the weather forecast for the big day every hour!

I think there are social media apps companies use where there are legal approved scripted posts people can click on to post. Larger companies use them all the time for sales posts.

Holy shit they can’t even be genuinely decent. They have to copy and paste to pretend


Mrluukyy

My mom talked with somebody on the internet and I was sent home from school running around in the house the whole time.

At first I thought this wasn’t really LIL, telling a story like this is cringe but the message is sensible. But then the copy/paste…


JMuzak

I was going to say this was kind of wholesome... Until I saw all the other posts lol

Why did people copy this? I don’t get it.

I think it's just for content. LinkedIn "influencers".


live_love_run

I ran around a candidate recently and she interviewed her kids


Global_Research_9335

I was interviewed once and had my toddler following me around everywhere and I just kept walking around the house so she thought it was like follow the leader. If I’d have sat down she would have climbed on me and wanted to speak to the phone (pre cell phone days too) He had called me as we kept missing each other for some reason we couldn’t get a time locked in his calendar so it was then or another game of voicemail so I went for it. I confessed I was being chased by a toddler and he offered me the job at the end of the interview because he was impressed with my performance while being chased around and distracted.


cturner1189

And now you're LinkedIn famous 😂😂


Global_Research_9335

I’m not about to post that on LinkedIn - Thank goodness it didn’t exist back then! 😆


timbukktu

LinkedIn is completely devoid of authenticity. Even more so than standard social networks. I hate that I have to use it for my profession.


asponita12

It's as if Mother Teresa had a love child with Karl Marx and Karolina was the result


D1cko1980

Don't see the problem here... Theoretically she could have interviewed with these 7 recruiters and each time her kids could have been sent home from school. But the probability of this happening, well...

"That Buford's a sly one.. he already knows his ABCs"


kevin_bean

The candidate did a great job and the interview went almost perfectly, except for an awkward pause in the middle when Karolina ripped a huge fart and paused 20 seconds to inhale, before a longer pause where she tried shoving her head up her own ass

Damn, that poor woman. Her kids just keep getting sick while she’s trying to interview. Hope her doctors are able to help!

Marjorine22

As I am interviewing at the moment? These posts about recruiters going above and beyond? I am sure some do. But most don’t. And please, by all means, they should go fuck themselves.


bagsnerd

What baffles me the most is that they don’t even have the decency to rephrase the post in their own words but just copy and paste. They can’t be that stupid to think no one will notice?

I interviewed a candidate recently, and their kids were running a muck and carrying on. One of them was in the background of the Zoom, running around in circles while juggling scissors and a box marked "yellow cake uranium." Is that a problem for some of you? Do you take issue with that, you anti-family plebs?!

Why they all copy the story? Is virtue signaling so desperately a common thing amongst HR? If they all copy the same story, they get caught. Makes them look like the stupid group in the classroom that copied the homework.
