They really want it to be a .mov file, not a .mp4 file. Don't fuck this up or they'll ghost you.
No, they want 3 different takes of it. Two in .mov, and one in .mp4. Don't fuck that up or they'll send out a "don't hire this guy" to every company they have contact information for
Why is Anne Hathaway catching strays?
Occupational hazard when her mouth is just that large.

I don't know what it is, but it's always the menial warehouse, data entry, QA, etc. positions that ask for cover letters.
"Detail oriented founder 10x manager guy"? Just send us your resume so we can send you a rejection letter a month from now.
"Lift up to 50 lbs."? Lets put an entire interview into the form. Why this company. Why are you passionate about this work. Tell us about your 5 years of experience we require you to have to pick up and put down objects and type what you did into a computer. Why did you leave each previous job you had. How do you handle being assigned more work than can be done in your workday. Tell us about a time you did that. Have you previously worked here. If yes, tell us about the experience [required even if no]. Link your linkedin profile so we can assume you're a bot for not sharing your entire professional life.
It's because they have lots of people that are hard to disqualify.
yep, all of my "career" jobs have been gotten through referral or direct recruitment from my network of former co-workers. All of my BS application/interview experiences have been for the sort of job that just needs a warm body in the seat.
I have never gotten a job from referral or recruitment. I think I might be too autistic for that.
Why is Anne Hathaway looking at me like she’s my kid brother and mom just said it’s his turn to use the computer?
I only decided to agree to an automated interview once and it wasn’t worth it. First there was just knowledge test in form of quiz, which after completing with decent result they invited me to second stage and it required me to read a question in 10s and then record my response from webcam in 30s. It was cringe af and I hated it, but decided to just swallow it at that point. Then they invited me to 3rd stage. When I learned that it’s also automated and involves webcam I said thank you. No more. If it was just the initial quiz I'd think they’re smart to filter out people who lie in resume, but 3 stages and I can’t still talk to a human - no thanks.
I haven't interviewed anywhere in nearly a decade, but damn, the human interaction part is so important. These are your potential future coworkers, a vibe check goes both ways.
I don't think I'd even do the first automated interview, tbh. If a human is going to be involved in hiring me down the line, they can damn well be present while I'm answering their questions.

You forgot the take-home project to include free labor in your begging.
Ugh I got an email like that just a few days ago. "Make a 3min video explaining why you want to work for us and what you bring to the table". I sway back and forth between refusing to be their stupid dancing monkey and being desperate enough for a new job to consider it. The company itself seems like a shitshow (an AI startup that works with insurance companies) but the job posting itself is in exactly the niche I like with the exactly the technologies I specialize in and the pay is extremely competitive. Honestly idk if I'm gonna go for it or if I have any ounce of self-respect.
I'd say do it, and put a lot of effort into the video but keep it generic and don't mention the company or product by name.
Then in a few months when that shitshow goes under you'll have the video ready to go for the next place!
Just post a 3 minute clip from Saw.
That seems like a great topic to cover at the end of the interview, at least traditionally.
That sucks you are in the situation, but what you said in your post plus a quick intro could probably get you a 3 min clip. If you are desperate to switch jobs you got this!
Hey this happened to me ! In retrospect, shouldn't have continued the application at that point
Down for a round 2? I don't have a job but i'd certainly love to see you begging
I'll need financial compensation
Brb, starting a gofundme. We're both jobless bums.
I don’t think so…

You might not be aware, but Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep are in a movie together called the Devil wears Prada, and in the sequel, a Devil wears Prada 2, which just came out this weekend.
Meryl Streep plays Anne Hathaway’s boss
My favorite was, upload you resume after spending 45 minutes filling out the exact same shit. You know no one is looking at your resume at all.
.mov? What is this? The dark ages?
All video recorded on an iDevice defaults to HEVC h.265 .mov. QuickTime is dead (at least to the public) but the codecs are an industry standard.
Also please complete this live brief that's not actually a test, we just want the work doing for free.
Please Master/Goddes I really want the job so desperate!
Me: I renewed my license this year.
Them: how does a $50k sign-on bonus sound?
Me: extremely suspicious.
I don't this one. Is this an adobe thing i'm too FOSS to understand?
I imagine they're talking about security clearance licence. It's a US government thing from what I have gathered.
Having an employee with security clearance helps companies applying for contracts.

Don't forget that it's all being fed into AI training without your consent now too
