Of course AI does has bias with casual racism and sexism. It's been trained on a whole workforce that's gone through the same.
I've gotten calls for jobs I'm way underqualified for with some sneaky tricks, which I'll hint involves providing a resume that looks normal to human eyes, but when reduced to plaintext essentially regurgitates the job posting in full for a machine to read. Of course I don't make it past 1 or 2 interviews in such cases but just a tip for my fellow Lemmings going through the bullshit process.
Why are you applying for jobs that you're not qualified for? Even if you BS your way through the interviews you'll have to actually do the work.
"qualified" is a loaded term. Industry or product knowledge go a long way to succeed in quite a few businesses.
As an example "Unqualified" for sales might just mean the applicant doesn't have an MBA or whatever other degree, even though they have dealt with break fix service and other solution oriented work.
Similarly, if a sales rep went into installation or project management they would have a leg up.
OP said "Of course I don’t make it past 1 or 2 interviews in such cases." So it seems pretty straightforward that he wasn't qualified, as in he wasn't going to succeed in those roles.
Not making it through the interviews doesn't indicate job success, it indicates job attainment. I'm saying job success is less related to listed qualifications than you might think.
Step one in succeeding in a job is passing the interviews and getting that job.
OP was just wasting everyone's time, both his own and the interviewers.
No lol
The job is producing usable work
The interview is getting the opportunity to get paid for producing usable work.
And I'm pretty doubtful that OP would be capable of producing usable work. He says it himself, he's being deceptive about his abilities.
No that's your prejudice about what he says.
He doesn't comment on anything past interviewing. You don't know his opinion on if he can produce usable work.
You haven't said anything to rebut my statement that attaining work and completing work are different thing.
Idgaf what you doubt unless you can give some narrative that lends it credibility.
