Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

What’s the stupidest question you were asked in an interview?

I had an interview on Monday that I was really excited about, until they asked me what animal I would be if I could choose. Seriously, what kind of question is that? Why would anyone ask something like that? It's been a while since I last interviewed, is this the norm now?

@bd

referrals only valid in ITC, workday has a special field here where you can enter your clan/caste to make hiring decisions easier

@bd All referrals due is send a message to the referred person inviting them to apply. I think most of that is due to preventing hiring bias, but it also means they are more likely to hire someone that isn't a good fit imo

I don’t really care what questions get asked, but Nike really needs to rethink how the employee referral process works. I’ve referred a former coworker who I know is very qualified, and in most cases over the past few months he hasn’t even made it to the HR interview stage because of things like internal candidates already lined up, sudden hiring freezes, or other reasons I’m not aware of. It honestly feels like it still comes down to who you know

Why do you want to work here.

Look stupid, I need money. I'm selling time from my lifespan, S T F U and buy and stop with the MBA BS you impressed your 80yo professor with.

No one is impressed, no one gives a fly bird drip about your little mind games to sound relevant because you can't get a passing grade in maths.

When can you start?

Knowing full well that the hm doesn’t have budget for it, or the capacity to be half of bad manager.

Well obviously a Cheetah… unless you can be Batman, then ALWAYS be Batman.

But yeah that’s… super odd. Like ask me nearly anything else if you are trying to get a read on my personality/team fit.
