There's a special place in hell reserved for recruiters advertising "entry level" positions requiring 5 years of experience.

This interviewer's IQ equals my goldfish's lifespan. RIP Bubbles.

I’ve been to about 10 interviews like this just this year

[MondoBeno]

I've been to some ridiculous interviews, where they want someone for a low level job, but expect extreme skills. At one of them I got offered $17, 500 a year in salary, which at the time was only $2 above minimum wage. Then, with a worried look, she said, "I hope you won't leave to accept something higher." I told her, "Of course I will leave if offered something higher, your offer is an insult." On my way out, I saw one of their employees getting mad at a client, and wondered why he hadn't been fired. It's like the old saying, pay peanut and you'll end up hiring monkeys, pay in straw and you'll hire donkeys.

Every second word contradict the previous one.

Welcome to Southern California, where 3-4 years experience in ANY field is considered "entry level" SMH

[jamesritchie]

this is how it actually is sometimes though. sometimes it really begs the question "what do you really want out of someone then?"

[therabbithat]

Worst job ever, but a good interview since you don't have to answer any questions

[waynejohanson]

He seems to want someone this is perfect. Like a Robot.

Standard job requirement for entry level developers in a nutshell but without the never ending list of technology stack with minimum 8 years of experience each

Funniest question I have every been asked. Where do you see yourself in 20 years....
I started laughing...
You realize I'm applying for full-time summer work as 5 ton dump drivers, right?
And I'm in my Mid 60's, so in 20 years, I'll be either dead or nearly dead.
Ok, next question please 🙏.

I went to a job interview once that went very wrong, and as far as I can tell to this day the person interviewing me had some sort of emotional problems that may have had something to do with his combat experience in the service. I think he was trying his best but, quite frankly, it was quite frightening. Please understand, my hat is off to ALL veterans who served; but this interview was one huge FUBAR from the beginning! I was so glad when the time came for me to leave. EVERYTHING went wrong on that interview!
I hope he managed to find what he was looking for in life.
👍🇺🇸👍

I had that guy for a boss. He was 5 years older than me. He left. I stayed. I retired at 57. That was 17 years ago. He's still working. Best 17 years of my life. NO SHIT!

[Dr_OzoneTV]

This is my perfect job, reliable mavericks in the house, but you had me with snacks and hourly updates, ultimate job satisfaction criteria.

[TexasHoosier]

Some companies have absurdly high turnover and blame the generation.

[faizullakhan]

Who tagged this as a comedy??? This is how they try and rope in experienced workers for entry level pay. For hourly updates I would make that 24 hourly updates a day. See the love.

I'm walking out after 15 seconds.

[jaxta]

I find it funny how some interviewers use the company "benefits" to explain why they pay the way they do. For example, "the pay isnt as good here but the workplace is airconditioned and there's a fruit basket for staff once a week".... none of those things help pay your mortgage...

[Peter-ukpt]

Unfortunately, I've seen a lot of that in reality.

[glopz]

This might be an example of how BUD go to their situation
