Speaker 1: Have you ever had an awkward job interview? You know,
Speaker 1: where you sit down and they ask you all those
Speaker 1: ridiculous questions like did you.
Speaker 2: Really go to Harvard Business School?
Speaker 1: Or things like if you get this job, do you
Speaker 1: promise to come into work every single weekday? No?
Speaker 2: What, it's a ridiculous question. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: But if you want to have a job and earn
Speaker 1: a paycheck, you have to go through them and listen
Speaker 1: to all those dumb, stupid questions that they ask you. Well,
Speaker 1: a trend is going viral of hiring managers sharing the
Speaker 1: special tests that they use to secretly judge.
Speaker 2: People during their interviews.
Speaker 1: So we'll go over them next so that you can
Speaker 1: be prepared for the next time you have one of
Speaker 1: those power hungry managers wanting to ask you about your
Speaker 1: special skills or whatever really they're judging.
Speaker 2: Next, it's the Jewbil Show.
Speaker 3: I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late. I
Speaker 3: use the side door that way lumberd can't see me,
Speaker 3: and after that I just sort of space out for
Speaker 3: about an hour. I just stare at my desk, but
Speaker 3: it looks like I'm working.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I do that for probably another hour.
Speaker 2: After a launch too.
Speaker 3: I'd say in a given week, I probably only do
Speaker 3: about fifteen minutes of real, actual work.
Speaker 4: Solid great.
Speaker 2: It's not that I'm lazy, It's that I just don't care.
Speaker 1: That's the way it is in a lot of offices.
Speaker 1: But how do you get your job? It's a jewel show.
Speaker 1: You had to go through a job interview, and there's
Speaker 1: a trend of hiring managers sharing the secret tests that
Speaker 1: they put you through during job interviews to judge if
Speaker 1: you are company material.
Speaker 4: I hate job interviews.
Speaker 1: We'll go over them in a second so that you
Speaker 1: can be prepared for the next time you have to
Speaker 1: go into a job interview to know how they might
Speaker 1: be secretly judging you. Also, remember on performing this Saturday
Speaker 1: in Olympia. You can get tickets for that if you
Speaker 1: go to the Jebelshow dot com and click on stand up.
Speaker 2: Come to the show. It'll be fun.
Speaker 4: He'll judge you there too.
Speaker 1: Yes, definitely. But how do hiring managers secretly judge you.
Speaker 1: We'll go over some of the tests that they do
Speaker 1: just so you can be prepared. The water test. The
Speaker 1: water test, one hiring manager says that they look at
Speaker 1: if people brought their own water then they think they're
Speaker 1: prepared and they pick ahead. Okay, if they take a
Speaker 1: sip from the manager's cup, that's a bold move.
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody would ever doing a job interview.
Speaker 1: But if they chug it like they just crossed the Sahara,
Speaker 1: then obviously they don't have any sort of self control.
Speaker 2: Oh I feel like that's what this person said.
Speaker 4: This feels like a very hard way to judge somebody.
Speaker 5: The water test feels like I thought there was one
Speaker 5: where they were like, hey, can you get me some
Speaker 5: water to see how they would react if you were
Speaker 5: like to get up and like serve the manager before
Speaker 5: you even worked for them. Oh, but like I pee
Speaker 5: all the time, so I don't bring my water around.
Speaker 2: So if you have no water, I would maybe maybe
Speaker 2: they see you as not prepared. I don't know this.
Speaker 1: This hiring manager didn't say anyth about it if you
Speaker 1: didn't have water. Oh okay, so you said they like
Speaker 1: to see how they handle their water.
Speaker 4: That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: We're going over a trend of hiring managers sharing the
Speaker 1: secret tests that they put people through when they have
Speaker 1: job interviews with them, so they can judge if they're
Speaker 1: good company material. Or not one person that they try
Speaker 1: to catch people in a lie. They pretend to know
Speaker 1: a non existent person working at one of their old jobs, like, oh,
Speaker 1: you used to work at this place, you know, Janie,
Speaker 1: And if they say yes, then you know they're a liar.
Speaker 2: That's a good test, actually.
Speaker 4: A really good one. I think you can use this
Speaker 4: outside of the office.
Speaker 6: But what if you just forgot that, like, oh, maybe
Speaker 6: there was a Janis who worked there and just said
Speaker 6: yes accidentally and then.
Speaker 1: Oh crap, And then you should say I don't know
Speaker 1: a Janis. You should just be honest about that.
Speaker 4: Like I don't remember. Shoot, I bet maybe if I
Speaker 4: saw their face. But oh, that's a good way. Victoria
Speaker 4: is a liar.
Speaker 6: Then huh No, I'm a nervous nelly who just says
Speaker 6: whatever comes to my mind.
Speaker 4: Difference, okay.
Speaker 2: Fair.
Speaker 1: Another manager at a restaurant said that they like to
Speaker 1: leave a broom on the floor when they're walking to
Speaker 1: where they're going to do the interview to see if
Speaker 1: the person picks it up or not when they walk by,
Speaker 1: if they just step over, if they don't get hired.
Speaker 1: This but I might not pick that up because I'd
Speaker 1: be like, I don't know if they want me to
Speaker 1: do that or not.
Speaker 6: You know, like, well, if they're leaving it down there
Speaker 6: for a reason, right, Like what if it's for someone else?
Speaker 2: Also, I wouldn't pick it up if I worked there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 5: It just feels very manipulative.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Another thing that hiring managers do to secretly test you
Speaker 1: in job interviews is ask questions that don't have a
Speaker 1: correct answer.
Speaker 4: What okay?
Speaker 1: Hiring managers at Google used to do it a lot,
Speaker 1: I guess. One question they'd ask was how many golf
Speaker 1: balls would fit in a school bus?
Speaker 4: How would I answer that? How does that affect your
Speaker 4: ability to do your job?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 1: They said, you'd need to know the exact size of
Speaker 1: the bus and do a lot of math. So the
Speaker 1: real reason they asked the question was to see if
Speaker 1: people would toss out a number or think through it
Speaker 1: and explain why a right answer wasn't really possible.
Speaker 6: Oh, I think I would think through it. I'd give
Speaker 6: a number, for sure it would be the wrong number,
Speaker 6: but number. I would laugh and be like, I have
Speaker 6: no idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd be like, where's the joke? Because it's a
Speaker 1: dad joke. I love dad jokes. This one says that
Speaker 1: just ask the receptions. Several people said that they always
Speaker 1: asked the receptionist how the person treated them. Oh, that's
Speaker 1: like they're a waiting that's a good one. It's like
Speaker 1: how you treat waiters on a day.
Speaker 4: It is a really good one.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I had a friend who she didn't work for Google,
Speaker 6: but she worked for a different company, and she just
Speaker 6: wanted to see how I would do in one of
Speaker 6: her interviews, like how I would do interviewing for her company.
Speaker 2: And so I applied to the job, just trying to
Speaker 2: see if I can get it.
Speaker 6: They immediately ten minutes later sent me a rejection email.
Speaker 6: Why I don't know, but I didn't even get to
Speaker 6: the interview stage.
Speaker 2: Usually sad, but I was like.
Speaker 5: Fair, I was not qualified, she wasn't even a real interview,
Speaker 5: and you still got rejected.
Speaker 4: Yeah, is it hurt.
Speaker 1: Another test that hiring managers say they do to secretly
Speaker 1: see if your company material or not is how you
Speaker 1: react to small talk.
Speaker 2: I hate small talk.
Speaker 5: Okay, I think that's fair. I mean you need to
Speaker 5: be able to get along with the people right office.
Speaker 5: If they're like, hey, how's your daven? Fine, Well we're
Speaker 5: not talking about my day. We're talking about job interviews. Yeah,
Speaker 5: we talk about that police. Can we stay on task?
Speaker 4: It probably wouldn't like that.
Speaker 2: You're an idiot. I don't want to work for you.
Speaker 1: Also, your email address, that's the one that you don't
Speaker 1: really think about, right, Yeah, why your email?
Speaker 2: What does that have to do with anything?
Speaker 4: But it's like a hot girl sixty.
Speaker 2: Nine and they're like, we're tired. Definitely getting the job
Speaker 4: Ceptin sleater right here,
