I think playing Wolf helped me learn to tell when people are bullshitting. I had to interview some people a few weeks back for an open position, and I commented that one of them seemed to be getting answers fed to him. My boss didn't agree and hired him. Sure enough, the guy has no idea what he's doing, at all.

So now I can charge all my time playing Wolf to my timesheet, right? (Just kidding. I already do that.)

If everyone is bullshitting, is anyone actually bullshitting?

There's bullshitting where you claim to be a tough guy when you're really a doctor, then there's Jawneh-level bullshitting. It's important to be able to tell the difference!

I've never ever ever overrepresented myself in an interview. If anything, I undersell it.

I'm big on under-evaluating myself. The moment I get confident in something is the moment everything falls apart.

Mine is more that I try to live my values and I hate when people overrepresent themselves in these cases. And so many people do it. I let the impression I give when I'm being asked the questions or taking the tests do the work for me - and it tends to help me get hired by people I would prefer, rather than idiots who get tricked by idiots.

I'm real bad at first impressions, an acquired taste, if you will. I worry how difficult the job hunt process will be when I finally retire from the military.

The whole interview process to assign people to jobs is kinda dumb. The skills to do a job well and the skills to interview well have almost no overlap in most jobs. Hiring managers are almost never trained on how to hire people so they don't have the skills to conduct an interview well or make a proper decision (I'm including myself in this category). There's got to be a better way.

Network, network, network. You don't have to interview well if you know the right people.

I can be quite polarising myself. I'm okay with it, I am who I am.

But anyone who has to spend a fair bit of time with me fairly often ends up liking me, unless I don't want them too. I'm a very nice person.

Well, in NZ anyway. I'm very kiwi.

I find there are alot of people who just memorize their responses to the interview questions they expect and it's just this rehearsed canned response.

I like to ask stuff just unrelated to the interview environment or the job and see how they can respond as a person not a robot. Like I'll ask if they were planning a big dinner with friends, what kind of food would they serve

I've always been given stuff like that, I think that's why I've also not had to lie in interviews. I've had "describe yellow to a blind person" more than once.

Yeah and the thing is there isn't a right answer. It's about how you can think and reason and why you made the choice you made

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Let's see...

Apathetic, rude, pessimistic, standoffish, irritable, impersonal, doesn't smile, asshole, opinionated, disrespectful.

Edit: Selfish, too.

Chicken Paprikash.

or burgers

I've had "describe yellow to a blind person" more than once

how does one answer a question like that? Can't even say the color of warmth, because I feel like orange is a better color for that.

I can be quite polarising myself. I'm okay with it, I am who I am.

But anyone who has to spend a fair bit of time with me fairly often ends up liking me, unless I don't want them too.

I can related to that. I've been told on more than one occasion that once they understood the kind of person I am, I became much more palatable.

Network, network, network. You don't have to interview well if you know the right people.

Luckily for me, the military has a program that allows to seamlessly transition to civilian life. They don't just dump you on the street unless you choose to reject the services they provide or for disciplinary reasons.

Speaking of NZ, is it normal to see door to door peanut butter salespeople? A friend/coworker of my wife lives in NZ as well and she had a weird interaction where a guy came to her door to try to sell some.

Excellent, and why would you go with either of those options?

Does their milk come in bags like Canada?

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Chicken Paprikash because it's a great dish that's relatively easy to make and while not exactly something that many have had, is still something that is easily enjoyed by many.

Burgers because they're easy and [almost] everyone likes burgers.

I have absolutely no idea what I'd say to that. Can blind people (I'm assuming we're talking about people who have always been completely blind) even comprehend the concept of colors?

Personally I usually ask about projects they've worked on. If you get into the details about what went well that they're proud of, what they struggled with, what frustrated them, etc then it gets easy to tell if they really worked on it or not.

That question for me was about making sure I knew to consider another persons perspective, and avoid describing it in a way that a blind person mightn't understand. I appealed to the senses they do have. But what cg said is basically the same.

Eww, you ask about work stuff? Boring!

Thank you for the opportunity to discuss my culinary vision for a big dinner with friends. If given the responsibility to plan such an event, I would ensure a diverse and memorable dining experience that caters to various tastes and preferences. My approach to planning this dinner would focus on inclusivity, quality, and the creation of an engaging and enjoyable atmosphere. By carefully selecting a wide-ranging menu and ensuring that all dietary needs are met I would aim to create a dining experience that is both satisfying and memorable for everyone involved.

(that's some fantastic BS right there)

Funny, I used to sell pulled pork sandwiches at work. I say sell, but it was just to cover the cost of all the food and so that I didn't have to pay for them. It was great cause we didn't have great options nearby, and cooking pulled pork in the crock pot is super easy. It was great for the team too, another teammates would force her husband to bake the buns for us!

 

[VashTheStampede]

Here in the south we just pull into a Buc-ee's for a pulled pork fix

So we have a higher population than California, and we skew pretty left relative to the USA.

So you'd like that wouldn't you
