It’s really infuriating that so much of a person’s success in getting a job is based on their ability to bullshit.
Years ago I got a job as a hospital janitor. I had to take a personality exam and then do an hour long interview. The interview was all open ended questions like, “What’s the biggest professional challenge you’ve experienced, and how did you overcome it?” and “Tell me about a time when a coworker was angry and how you dealt with it”.
I don’t see how your ability to answer such questions tells them anything about your capability to empty trash cans and mop up piss. It felt like a process designed by an HR person to justify their job.
The more someone is paid, generally the less important their work actually is for society’s continued functioning and the less actual work they have to do. It’s not an absolute, but an increasing intensity that reaches a terminal point with hedge fund managers being a steep net negative for society and most of the time they just have machines and underlings do everything while they go Epsteining around.
It’s selecting for people that lie on their resumes at this point. Critical support for that. Get that bread.
