  • Sounds to me like the failure wasn’t yours, but the interviewer’s; you came prepared for questions relevant to the role, and they went all out-of-pocket on you.

    Like if you show up for a tech job and they start going “paint me a word picture… tell me about your personal philosophy…”

    Like you said, if they just googled some BS to ask you, or followed the corp-approved “starting questions”, that’s their fault.

    Maybe you could reach out to them (or HR?)and go “hey, I was surprised by some of the interview questions, but I really do think I’m a strong match - can we get together and come to an understanding on the relevance of those questions?”

















  • I think you have a valid point that echo chambers are bad, and that we should all strive to find good sources and not just rely one one side of the story.

    But -

    I think we have. Lots of people understand that idea, and lots of people have kept open channels to ideas outside what they believe. And I can only speak for myself, but MY “other side” time observing and participating in conservative forums online, talking with people in my very-red state, and watching Fox News, has done nothing to convince me that i need to hear one god-damn word from either of those two lying, conniving jack-asses.

    One dude’s opinion. Your mileage may vary. Please consult your doctor before starting any kind of exercise program. Thanks for your time.
