hot take: if an office/remote job requires mostly email communication, the interview questions should be written. There should also be a sample email that you have to write a response to, and something that tests your ability to draft an initial email about something related to whatever the job is about.
if you really need telephone skills as well, then there should be a mock call that is similar to the calls you'd have to make on the job, e.g. you are given a document to read beforehand and have to answer some questions about the content of the document on the call. No more of this "tell me about a time when you...." bullshit, just assessing things that are Directly Related To The Job, Please For The Love of God
#job search#is truly hell right now#I'm writing this as both a job seeker and someone who was involved in hiring by the way#this type of interview would be 10 times more effective than a regular interview for every office or remote job I've had#I'm sure if you do coding or something there would be other steps but I still think it should be directly applicable to the daily work#who care about whether you can memorize leetcode just take a couple days to actually make changes to a repository and merge the pull request#also I realize that chatgpt could be an issue for written questions#but we have test taking software that locks down your computer and has the camera on so you can't use your phone#so why not repurpose that for job screening#.....anyway rant over lol I'm just very frustrated#nem speaks
