Swimmod_Luna Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I thought phone interviews where you actually talk to a person were bad enough. But then I had a few places where I did an automated phone interview for where it asks the questions and you answer and hit a button when you're done, and just did an automated video interview for another place.

Doom Metal Alchemist Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I did something like that once, but it was a webcam. The job itself was a literal joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELDEMONIO Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I did that when I saw a doctor once. And phone interview for Doritos. I hate them. I wanna smell the person interviewing me and I want them to smell me and my expensive colognes I got at Target that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naraku4656 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 it just sounds like a waste of time for both of you. many of the questions they ask shouldn't be "strongly agree/disagree/whatever" they should be open ended. that's how you find who is good and who isn't. yeah you can fake an answer but good luck backing it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it just feels weird giving my answer to no one and not being able to see their reaction or answer follow up questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had like 3 places do it and they were all places I applied to on Indeed and all had the same four questions. The video one was for a major local medical center. They probably get enough applicants that they don't really care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For god only knows what reason, they made "Have you ever been convicted of a felony, if so explain", a video question. So I hit record, said simply "No" (because do I really need to be formal on that one?) and then realized the questions had like a 10 second minimum length, so the video is just me trying to click stop over and over.
