Remember kids, HR is not your friend.
Nor are they a resource!
It’s you that is the resource.
Nor human
A common misconception.
We’re the resource. Human resources refers to the humans they use up.
Recruiter: Why is there a gap in your resume?
Me: Why has this position been hiring every month?
“I want to branch out and gain new experiences to broaden my skillset.” is the BS line I usually go with when I’m interviewing for a job outside my current specialty. Which has been every job I’ve interviewed for. Since my organization has rotation programs, it’s a well-accepted reason. Especially when the actual reason was “I’m fleeing a hostile takeover of my last department.” or “I gotta get the fuck out of Florida, it’s 2017.”
I tend to go for ‘you approached me, and this sounds interesting’
when I’m interviewing for a job outside my current specialty.
Actually jealous of you even getting an interview like this. Where I am, experience of less than a year is considered inadequate and candidates are usually ghosted without even getting any interview.
I’m looking to expand my network, and build synergies with new colleagues. I want to maximize our KPIs
How am I doing with the canned bullshit rhetoric? Did I get the job?
You forgot empowering the department
You’re getting good. Now you just need to sing this song in the interview.
“is this a new role or a backfill?”
“Yes”
“What are your expectations for salary for this position?” “What is the salary range for this position?”
What are your salary expectations?
