      No, they want 3 different takes of it. Two in .mov, and one in .mp4. Don’t fuck that up or they’ll send out a “don’t hire this guy” to every company they have contact information for

    Me: I renewed my license this year.

    Them: how does a $50k sign-on bonus sound?

    Me: extremely suspicious.

        I imagine they’re talking about security clearance licence. It’s a US government thing from what I have gathered.

        Having an employee with security clearance helps companies applying for contracts.

          registered nurse actually. but when a job offers a bonus like that it’s because the place is really sketchy but they’re banking on you not being able to pay back the taxes that were taken out of the bonus you now owe them back if you quit in the next two years. like one of those nursing homes or for my specialty usually a state psych hospital where you’ve got like 40 patients a night and two techs if it’s an acute unit and it turns out somebody hung themselves while the techs slept through the last two rounds because they’re paying them less than Walmart and they don’t GAF.

    It’s bad. Very bad.

    I spent the past month or so looking for my first job out or school. And so many places make you jump through hoops or have humiliation session interviews.

    The place I accepted the offer from called me once for screening. Then set up a technical interview.

    The technical interview was half of it talking about who I am. What I like to do. What I want to work on etc. and the other half them explaining what the job is, why it’s a great opportunity etc.

    Next day I got the offer. Simplest process ever and not humiliating at all. Felt like the exception. There are decent people out there still.

    I don’t know what it is, but it’s always the menial warehouse, data entry, QA, etc. positions that ask for cover letters.

    “Detail oriented founder 10x manager guy”? Just send us your resume so we can send you a rejection letter a month from now.

    “Lift up to 50 lbs.”? Lets put an entire interview into the form. Why this company. Why are you passionate about this work. Tell us about your 5 years of experience we require you to have to pick up and put down objects and type what you did into a computer. Why did you leave each previous job you had. How do you handle being assigned more work than can be done in your workday. Tell us about a time you did that. Have you previously worked here. If yes, tell us about the experience [required even if no]. Link your linkedin profile so we can assume you’re a bot for not sharing your entire professional life.

        yep, all of my “career” jobs have been gotten through referral or direct recruitment from my network of former co-workers. All of my BS application/interview experiences have been for the sort of job that just needs a warm body in the seat.

          I have never gotten a job from referral or recruitment. I think I might be too autistic for that.
