    Reminds me of my sister getting in trouble for saying she had to go at 4:20. It was deemed “unprofessional”. She has a appointment, lol

      Now I’m imagining someone legitimately putting their Jan6 involvement on a resume.

      Window Structural Integrity Tester (Jan 6th, 2021): Responsibilities included - unconventional team-building activities, conditioning, navigating unfamiliar territory, and breaking down barriers.

        Nah, it’d probably be more like:

        Security Field Tester (Jan 6, 2021): Part of a group that organized a large-scale “peaceful march” in order to thoroughly check security protocols for the Capitol building. Duties included attempts at theft to see if we’d be stopped, testing window durability by attempting to break them, engaging physically with security staff in riot gear to test security training, and shouting terroristic threats in order to see how secure government protocols were in the event of a riot at a governmental building.

    I would spam them with even more “inappropriate” but equally plausible applications out of sheer pettiness and the vain hope that a real person would see it and realize that using AI to screen job applications is an awful idea.

    What always ticks me off beyond reason in mails like these is the “we genuinely appreciate your time and effort in…”

    Fuck. You. With. An. Umbrella.

    You don’t appreciate shit, you’re full of shit, yet you’re too shit to even just say what you really want to say: fuck you, we don’t give a damn. Because being actually honest might also be bad and cost money.

    Companies like there are the worse and should all burn in hell

      Ping their recruitment team on LinkedIn

      This is such a weird way to say “post this screencap publicly on LinkedIn and tag their entire C-level team”

        My dad actually got involved in something like this. He got rejected from a job after a background check company confused HIM (a 59-year-old white guy) with another guy (a black 32-year-old man) who happened to share the same name, in the same city, and provided the contracting company with information that stated my father was wanted for felony larceny. I think we wound up getting something like $700 from a small class-action against the background check provider, and it got settled out of court because someone blew it up with the local news.

    I fucking despise the fact that AI almost exclusively is responsible for throwing out 99% of all resumes before they reach a human being

      The problem isn’t AI the problem is brainless humans who configured the AI.

      AI isn’t going to become skynet and take over the world unless someone tells it to. In which case the human is the problem.

      This isn’t just AI. AI doesn’t care about jokes or memes or “professionalism.” This was either a review by an actual human that didn’t realize people are born on April 20th or an AI told to reject resumes with that date in it.

      Either way, it’s a really dumb person that set this rule.

    If you were normal… 20/4/19xx … or 20th of April, 19xx. If you insist on freedom units and format, its your own fault!

    Also, who knows what it was written to identify? you are all speculating. It could have been weed smokers (420) but it could also have been written to filter out the yanks…!

    There are people laughing at them for not hiring someone born at 20th of April , very same folks riding elevators and not finding weird that the 13th floor is missing.
