So yeah, last night I was in a funk due to the whole applying for jobs fuckery, asking me my sexual preferences (once again, how is this fucking legal to even ask?) Then, the whole call from a recruiter but an email from the automated system saying nyet, no interview.
My friends, it is definitely fucked up out there and it's only gonna get worse.
I tell you though, I took a nice pot gummy (half of one, mango flavored) and within a half hour, I was mellowed out and helped.
If you are stressed, half a gummy can do wonders.
Today, I am getting back on the horse and gonna tilt this fucking windmill of unemployment again. This time, I have been working with the LLM to game the fucking automated application systems.
@krypt3ia sorry to hear this, and besides asking for things which are non of their business (in NL it is normal to ask for or supply without asking the relationship status. Why!?) I’m appalled at the “let’s test out the LLM on job applications.” I thought that was a myth!
Besides the clear and publicly displayed lack of basic technical understanding of every single person involved in that monstrous “let’s do selection based on AI” idea, if I had to pick ONE field where biases are deeply rooted, clear as day and have immediate and real-world implications, it would literally be hiring processes.
Who in the living hell looked at that and thought: “you know what would work well? LLMs!”
@avuko It's either the automated system looking for key words doesn't find them in my resume, or, they look at my resume of 24 years of experience and think; "Too old"
@avuko Or I just don't fit any of the jobs I have applied for because I lack the skills they are looking for. I have been applying for CTI jobs, which, for the last 12 years, I was head of at my previous employer.
