It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I'm lucky enough to have stuck with the same employer for almost a decade. Reading the non-insane fragments of resume made my skin crawl. I hate it. I hate everything about how self-aggrandizing you have to be, I hate the phraseology, everything about this is antethical to the way humans communicate. Also this MF listed "avid skier" as if a hiring manager would give a fuck lmao

Surprisingly ChatGPT is great at making a resume sound better if you give it specific commands. It's great at the corporate speak and self-aggrandizing shit that I cringe too hard to properly write.

[–] AbbysMuscles@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Oh absolutely! My girlfriend and some friends have done that. It's awesome at generating corpo-speak. And of course the hiring manager will feed all of the AI generated resumes into an AI which will scan them to determine the best candidates. We will achieve AI to AI communication, and everything will be utterly distinct from the actual needs of the position. It will be pure HR lingo, iterating on itself forever

The digital version of Dildos fucking Fleshlights.

[–] HyonoKo@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Actually this can be very good. The AI-AI step cancels the corpo-speak. The candidate just sends bullet points with actual data and the AI decides what to do. Nobody ever sees those inflated CVs.

[–] AbbysMuscles@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

You make a good point there. My concern would be that HR departments would still need reasons to filter people out, so their approval processes would become so inscrutable and obscure that you would be forced to rely on the resume-generating AI to spit out the correct text to satisfy that resume-reading AI. Kind of like the degradation of the Imperial Chinese civil exams.

"Avid Skier" is code for "I come from money"

listed "avid skier" as if a hiring manager would give a fuck lmao

we once hired a Frenchman whose resume read:

PERSONAL
Sport (Basketball for 10 years), Reading (mainly French literature), Piano (started to impress a girl, now I’m pretty good)

It makes it nigh impossible for people with low self-esteem to get work---regardless of talent.

Men will literally put their sperm count on their resume rather than go to therapy.

  • Designed a model to optimize classroom scheduling for an education operator with 42 [obscured] utilization by 10%

is he really bragging about how to fit 42 students in a classroom? or is it worse, somehow?

What's wrong with "professional educator? "

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

'Professional educator' isn't really a problem, although it's just a longer businessified 'professor' or ' teacher'

But 'educational operator' is another one of those signifiers of the breakdown of the world into 'consultants', 'managers', 'engineers' and 'operators'. Where consultants give ideas to managers for engineers to design which are then used by operators. Which creates a hell of a lot of distinctions where there is generally more overlap.

Hell, saying they worked on 'improvement of communication technologies for teaching' is better because it is more distinct and less technocratic.

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

technically, or at least historically, a "professional" has received accreditation / license from a body developed by and for those belonging to a profession, which typically has requirements of "continuing education" to maintain that license as well as some other rules and duties that, if broken, can result in the revoking of the license. doctors, lawyers, teachers, engineers etc.

this resume reads like some douche with an MBA from wherever the fuck, which is basically some accounting classes and some ideological priming before being sent out to work at Kinsey or for someone's dad, where they never have to take a test ever again and are subject to nothing.

[–] YearOfTheCommieDesktop@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

that sounds about right, yeah. I mean even when I was in school it was edging up into the 30s, at a pretty decent school.

But the bit about utilization and scheduling makes me think it's also probably about scheduling things so that they can hot-desk all the teachers around and decrease their prep time by 10% (aka "increasing utilization" because these ghouls think teachers are only doing anything when they're physically in front of children). Or it could be something about the hot-desk arrangement where they're increasing the utilization of the available classrooms by 10%.

[–] ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

I don't think the next letter is "s" (I think it's a small letter with a straight line on the left side like m, n, p, or r), so it isn't "42 students," and I think an "education operator" is probably a company that runs a private school (or chain of private schools) or something. 42 rooms, maybe?

Only 800 million? That's not even a quickie.
