Look he's managed to get a bunch of letters after his name so obviously he's very pleased with himself. And then it turns out that this is for a consulting company. It's like becoming super pleased with yourself because you become a shift manager at a call centre. That's not a life achievement worth bragging about.

I used to work in a marketing company and the number of "self-made" individuals (daddy's money had absolutely nothing to do with it, honest) spouting garbage like this was insufferable. Calm down Jeremy, you own one bed and breakfast hotel, you are not Jeff Bezos.

What does someone's personal life have to do with their work performance? Why does he want to get to know who they are "as a person" rather than know how they are qualified for the job? This has a bunch of red flags as far as I'm concerned

Narcissism abounds in every sentence.

Code for broke AF mid-life career-crisis.

Does this guy not understand that 99% of calls from unknown numbers are spam? If he picks the person who always answers, he's gonna be disappointed when they're spending more time answering spam calls than doing intern work.

He had a pretty reasonable response to the backlash, at least.

The most obvious issue with this is that most people aren't (or at least shouldn't be) always available for calls on their personal phones at random times during normal office hours. If you do it this way, you're pretty much pre-selecting for people who don't currently have a job and aren't in school/college.

Oh fuck not this guy leaving containment and ending up on Lemmy of all places.

Ok so this guy is in my field and is 100% the grandpa he appears to be. The worst part thought is that if you catched this, he talked about a career in "I-O". Most of you probably don't know what he's talking about, but he's referring to the field of "Industrial and Organizational Psychology" which is the study of people within organizations. What makes this extra bad is that we actually are the ones who study stuff like "how to conduct ethical and high quality interviews". So he basically violated about everything we recommend in our field why doing this and publishing it. Its honestly embarrassing that this will be many of your first impressions of my profession.

Also the comments are roasting him so badly OP as the comments are likely filled with people who are experts in the subject, so its a deep roast
