Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?
I get why it’s necessary but outside of programming jobs are there other job applications that require you to do actual work? I’m not a programmer, have done dozens of job interviews and have never done work outside the interview outside of preparing the job application.
I’ve done tests at the interview (excel, and a written maths test for one a long time ago) and I’ve done psychometric tests but nothing is quite the same as having to build an entire project with a high chance of getting rejected.
Unsure. I have really only seen it in programming. I dont think accountants get told “here balance these books before we proceed with the rest of the interview” designers and architects maybe asked to show a portfolio of work though.
