I applied for a job recently. The job advertisement was explicit in asking candidates not to use AI to write their application because they wanted to hear from the “real” candidate. Fair enough, I agree.
I was then invited to an interview, and was told it would be a video interview, assessed by AI. Such double standards!
The message explained I would be shown a question, have a couple of minutes to consider/prepare, and then a few minutes to record my answers. This demonstrates nothing except my improvisation skills, which are not good. I’m not naturally good at thinking on the spot, I’m much more of a planner and preparer - and planning and preparing is much more related to the job I’m applying for.
Anyway, I’ve done it, I didn’t do it well because I’m just not suited to that sort of ‘on the spot’ performance. With a traditional face to face interview I tend to do better as it’s a more natural conversational environment. My brain processes differently.
Just a rant really. Disappointed that I will likely miss out on a perfect job because of a double-standard recruitment process.
