This is bullshit. Apply spend 30 minutes doing assignments and when you get text saying congratulations they want to interview you think you get an interview.

This probably one of those fake job postings I heard about. Pisses me off. Haven’t had to look for work in over 5 years and now I am stuck applying for shit jobs. There no normall way to find work these days.

Even was told now companies use “AI” to filter out resumes before a human even sees it.

Edit: Reached HR and they explained that it’s not a mistake. They really do it this way. Apparently when Autumn Lyons wants to interview me it is fake because it’s sent to thousands of people and they have only so many slots.

It suggested that I check the link several times a day until a slot comes available.

Well I am not playing that fucking game. You want to interview me then do so. Fucking assholes.

    Lockheed Martin pulled this shit on me 20 years ago. Applied for a job, did a quick phone screen and they invited me to their campus 5 hours away for an in person interview. When I got there they had a whole gymnasium setup with booths and about 50 people doing interviews and 200 bewildered engineers showing up hoping for a job. They never once mentioned it was going to be factory interviews. Fuck that and similar companies.

    They’re probably doing it on purpose to be able to claim “they can’t find qualified personnel.” That would allow them to file for H1B and hire a person from India at a significant savings.

    I’m not sure who to report that to, but USCIS oversees the H1B program.

      Got a hold of HR and it’s not a mistake it’s "due to high volume of applications we have so many slots available. We recommend you check it several times a day until a slot available. It’s a fucking scam and not playing.

        Take what HR says with a grain of salt.

        If they’re gaming H1B, They’re not gonna say “yeah we’re faking it to get cheap indentured immigrants to work for us”.

    Companies have been doing this for 20+ years. The only thing new about it is that they stuck “AI” on the label.

      I have a bachelor of the arts in computer science. Landing that first job was so hard because companies filtered out my resume because they were looking for a bachelor of the sciences. Fuck me I guess for my college mandating I take at least one class a year about how the world works instead of just computer stuff

    After working in a really big company for a while and seeing how incredibly degrading the hiring process is nowadays i simply woulnd’t want to apply for a job for those companies.

    I just signed the contract for a much smaller company and the process was:

    1. Apply online… via mail and just attaching some PDFs :D
    2. “We are interested in you, we would love to do an interview. Can you come over or do you want to do this Online?”
    3. Meeting them in person, having a nice interview and chat afterwards.
    4. Agreeing to do this and sign the contract.

    Thats it. No Booking time slots to getting interviewed bullshit. This is just ridicilous.

      Even with big companies I’ve never seen one where the applicant had to find a schedule for the interview, instead of the recruiter reaching out out and checking availability. This is odd even for bigger corporations, or maybe times have changed (I haven’t applied for a new job for a while now).
