    Basing important choices for my company based on vague vibes instead of qualifications is always a very smart idea and explains why all our services work so well under capitalism

      The most honest job interview workshops will tell you just hope the recruiter likes you. All that other stuff like excessive smiling etc is secondary. Its all vibes

      Seriously. I can’t imagine that the employer of this “recruiter” wants them pulling this kind of shit. Find me the good people who will make me money, you’re replaceable just like anybody else.

      why al your services work under capitalism.

      Arguably, recruiters do the same thing customer service is literally trained to do: sludge.

      Try to make you put up with enough bullshit, find any excuse to tell you “no”, and of course, always act stupid in hopes of pissing the client off enough they just go away on their own. Hence why they can go “sorry, we only hire the best of the best and you just don’t have what it takes.” to being all “sorry :) I don’t…understand :)? What’s an interview:)?”

    I hear that the best way to attract a job is to stare into middle distance for like 20s or so, then sweep your gaze over the job, do a slow blink, then go back to staring at a different location

    The job will no longer perceive you as a threat and then will approach and hire you naturally

    Do NOT go up to a job, tower over it and go pspspspspsss they don’t like that

    It’s weird how unreasonably mad I get at the LinkedIn writing style. The pauses, the paragraphs, the “The lesson?” “The meaning?” “The result?” questions, always ending with “Here’s the truth:”

    It hits some part of my primitive brain and makes me wanna smash some rocks

      It’s this faux profound tone. These idiots got B’s at ivy league schools and think it makes them enlightened polymaths gracing the rest of us with their incredibly deep and meaningful insights about their incredibly deep and meaningful lives. It’s performing a caricature of happiness and enlightenment because they’re mimicking the models given to them by vapid liberal “everyone’s a hero!” tropes in movies and the way they’re told they’re supposed to feel about status and consumption by advertising.

    You have to neg the recruiter a few times first before showing them a magic trick but remain distant. When they call or text you don’t respond too quickly too. Don’t forget to peacock yourself either.

      She was an actor in a movie called The Intern with that guy who the joker shot fuckin-deserve about an older man who has to work as an intern, and I guess he gets sacked? I haven’t seen the movie. In any case her face is used as ‘inhuman corporate smile’, here the emoji tag is ‘layoff stare’ afaict layoff-stare
