Man Applies for Job, Sits for Interview, Then Realizes They're Trying to Peddle "Mock Interviews With an AI Interviewer"

When a job seeker named Conor recently applied for a content architecture position, something felt off right away. For one thing, he got an offer for a virtual job interview just minutes after he applied, which seemed like a suspiciously quick turnaround time in today's beleaguered job market. Was there any way that a human had actually reviewed his application? And when he logged in for the interview, he immediately realized he was talking to an AI system, not a human. It wasn't the first tim

You're Not Interviewing for the Job. You're Auditioning for the Job Title

news.ycombinator.com Ibrahim Diallo 2025-10-14 18:31:37

I once had a job interview for a backend position. Their stack was Node.js, MySQL, nothing exotic. The interviewer asked: "If you have an array containing a million entries, how would you sort the data by name?" My immediate thought was: If you have a JavaScript array with a million entries, you're certainly doing something wrong. The interviewer continued: "There are multiple fields that you should be able to sort by." This felt like a trick question. Surely the right answer was to explain w

Ohio Wants to Create a Database of People Who Skip Job Interviews

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-11-16 02:25:29

The job market is tough at the moment for prospective employees, and Ohio has plans to make it even tougher. A bill recently introduced by Republicans in the Ohio House of Representatives would create an online registry of people who fail to show up for a job interview. The proposal, introduced as H.B. 395, specifically targets job applicants who are recipients of unemployment benefits and are required to seek employment to continue receiving the limited compensation provided to them.

I just got declined for a job and it has gotten under my skin much more than it should. (Under the advisement of my lawyer (ChatGPT) I won't say the company's name). It has really annoyed me; I ended up doing three interviews over the course of four weeks, and I'm pretty confident that I got the technical questions right. It could be that my resume is too "jumpy", which is fair, but they could have read my resume before they wasted my time and theirs with three multi-hour interviews. The only

The Disturbing AI Interview That Has Everyone Fuming

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-11-29 11:40:09

It was billed as a “one-of-a-kind interview,” but it may be remembered as a new low for journalism. Jim Acosta, the former CNN anchor turned Substack host, has ignited a firestorm of controversy by conducting what may be one of the most unsettling interviews of the AI era: a televised conversation with an AI-generated version of Joaquin Oliver, the 17-year-old who was killed in the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

AI interview bots spark backlash from frustrated job applicants

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2025-12-08 21:22:00

The big picture: As more employers turn to AI to manage overburdened recruiting pipelines, the debate about its merits – and drawbacks – continues. Some job-seekers opt out of opportunities altogether when robots come calling. Others, resigned to the new normal, accept these digital gatekeepers to find work. Both sides, for now, seem likely to remain divided as the hiring process rapidly evolves. As employers increasingly automate their recruitment processes, job interviews themselves are under

The next time you get buttoned-up and sit down for a long-awaited job interview, you might not find a human on the other end of the call. Instead, job-hunters are now joining Zoom meetings only to be greeted by AI interviewers. Candidates tell Fortune they’re either confused, intrigued, or straight-up dejected when the robotic, faceless bots join the calls. “Looking for a job right now is so demoralizing and soul-sucking, that to submit yourself to that added indignity is just a step too far,”

Original Tesla Cofounder Roasts Cybertruck for Looking "Like a Dumpster"

In comments made in a recent interview with YouTuber Kim Java spotted by Electrek, Eberhard vented his frustration with Tesla's recent direction — which is when the highly heterodox pickup truck caught a stray.

For the past 7+ years, I've been conducting a programming interview that has been a true personal favorite of mine. It was passed down to me from good friends (Jeremy Kaplan and Carl Sverre, and it was the latter whom I believe invented it). This interview has probably been given by us between 500-1000 times across different companies, and upon googling for "async queue interview", I see tons of results. So, it's probably fine for me to blog about it. My main goal with this blog post is to disc

They’ll ask you questions like “Why are you leaving your position?” and “What was it like to work with your manager.” It’s done with this premise that they’re looking to make the company better.
