So if you check my post history you'll know I was fired yesterday. It was a shitty call centre job with a government department. The new team leader didn't like me and decided that I had “behavioural issues” after working with me for a total of 3 days. I had two previous team leaders before her and didn't have problems with either of them.
The funny thing is, I had recently applied for a couple of other government roles and was invited to be interviewed for two of them. The first round interview was with an AI chatbot. The bot asked me questions and I typed my responses into the chat box. The second round interview, again, was with an AI chatbot, only this time instead of typing responses into the chat box I had to record video responses to questions asked by said chat bot.
Is this the way of the future? I was mildly insulted that they couldn't even be bothered using a human recruiter to interview candidates, but I guess they just don't care about people. My recent experience confirmed this.
(FYI, I'm not in the US but I'm in a very closely allied country.)
