I decided to expand my job search and use the VA resources given to me to speak with some guy I think was a career counselor.
90% of the talk was about AI. Prepping my resume with AI so the AI reading it can do better and he told me how to act when being interviewed by AI.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN AI IS DOING INTERVIEWS NOW?! I look into it and fucking Burger King of all places is now using AI to interview people!
I also applied to another fucking place today after speaking with that guy after work because I hate myself, I guess and this fucking application for an IT Support Position took me an hour an a half to do because it included another fucking personality test and not one but THREE MOTHERFUCKING VISUAL NOVEL TYPE OF THINGS OF “what would you do in this scenario?”
ARE YOU FUCKING ME!? HOLY SHIT, HOW DID WE LET IT GET THIS BAD?!
End my suffering, please. This cannot be where our country has gone.
The eyes reading the screen added with the candidate answering questions in clearly the wrong context.
Imagine the conversation was talking about preparing a cold desert with pineapple.
Me: How would you cut the fruit?
Candidate: I would first cut the spiny outside skin off the fruit. I would then use a core cutter to remove the core. I would then cut the resulting cylinder into slices.
[and this is a good answer]
Me: What would you do with the cut fruit next to make the desert?
Candidate: I would take the slices of pineapple and put them on the bbq grill to make sure they were well heated when when served hot.
[and this is a bad answer, for this context, the context is we are preparing a cold desert. There is no step we should ever be heating the pineapple, nor serving it hot. Grilling the pineapple and serving hot is a perfect answer for a different meal which we were never talking about. So its a valid answer for the wrong conversation. I see this with AI answers frequently.]
He answered multiple technical questions with this pattern of a couple normal acceptable responses for the context, but then providing a right answer for a completely different context which ends up being wrong for the context we were talking about. If he actually knew the subject matter and had the experience he claimed, he would have recognized the contextual problem, but he didn’t recognize it because clearly didn’t know what he claimed.
