Hiring me has many benefits!
THIS IS HOW YOUR FREE COFFEE AND WATER "BENEFITS" FUCKING SOUND!!
i started doing this to my new employer who pays less than half of what my previous employers did and let's just say that i have A LOT of time on my hands now. lol
this is the way. they want to think they are making a fool out of us, we make a fool out of them right back.
Best advice I ever got was to treat job interviews as 2-way. Ask them why the position in empty. Why did the last person that had your position leave?
Not to be outright combative, but the interview should be so both the company and you can get s feel for each other.
I always saw it as a psychological test ..... they're trying to find gullible, pliable individuals who can passably do the work and agree to be paid as little as possible and made to work as much and as often as they can.
A bonus for them would be actually finding people they could literally treat like slaves and not pay them anything.
I don't know if it's broken, just slanted to favor industry as intended. It's amazing what happens when it becomes a job seekers' market though, and why corporations hate it when the labor market is hot in workers' favor since they don't have to play these bullshit power games when there are companies lining up to accept candidates.
