i want to talk about these job interviews i've been doing
so far i have not gotten a job.. i've been looking since september i have applied to a LOT of jobs i've had maybe like 9 interviews one interview i had with men and they asked me 5 questions.. every single question they asked was one of those "tell me about a time when you..." who legitimately has such specific answers to questions? like seriously.. i don't get what makes them think they can just ask you something like that its too specific they will ask u a question about something you literally do everyday, so how can you have a response for it? "tell me about a time when you were stressed at work and how u dealt with it" THATS EVERY DAY YOU IDIOT, LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN? how do you answer that? i feel like i sound so bad in interviews but the questions just don't make any sense to me like imagine working at mcdonalds and you interview for a higher position and they say something like "tell me about a time when you gave exemplary service" but you give your best effort every day literally over 100 times per day so how can you even give an answer? it all blurs together its not like you had 5 customers and you gave one of them CPR and saved their life so you just have this amazing story to tell, no you have like 10,000 customers and you treat them all well, even when they are jerks and they all blend together there is no SPECIFIC thing you can say, you are literally doing the same thing hundreds of times per day and that's another thing.. does that count for anything? does just coming to work everyday and being reliable count for anything? i guess not, i guess u need a huge made up story to tell an employer.. some self adulating story that makes u sound like some kind of superhero another issue i have had is i give a response and they just ask me the same thing again.. so then i don't know how to respond, like are u saying my answer wasn't good enough? are you saying you don't believe me? like if i just answered you then don't ask me again like my answer is going to change in 5 seconds anyway.. moving on.. i had one interview with men.. the other interviews were all with women.. the thing that made me the absolute angriest was going through round after round of questions about my thoughts on diversity by white woman after white woman after white woman AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, THE ENTIRE OFFICE LOOKS LIKE A SORORITY.. WHY ARE YOU ASKING THE ONLY BLACK MALE ABOUT DIVERSITY EVERYWHERE I GO I AM THE DIVERSITY YOU SHORT BUS BUFFOONS I AM THE ONLY BLACK MALE AROUND, ASK YOURSELF ABOUT DIVERSITY, NOT ME I AM THE ONE WITH A MASTERS DEGREE GETTING REJECTED BY JOBS 10 TIMES PER DAY EVERY SINGLE INTERVIEW I'VE HAD EXCEPT ONE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT WHITE FEMALES DO NOT ASK ME ABOUT DIVERSITY, LOOK IN THE MIRROR AT YOUR HIRING PRACTICES i've been slamming my fingers on my laptop typing this look i'm not even going to finish this i'm just over it if they don't hire me who cares, i'll end up with something better than whatever they can offer me in the end
