    "if an employer wants to not hire you because of your race/gender/nationality etc, it can do it anyway in a later stage" First, you're increasing the probability of discrimination …

    I interviewed with them for a few different positions and worked for them once. Do not recommend. A toxic 'shark tank' like workplace culture and very middling salary.

    "Even 4x2 hour interviews is still only the equivalent of a single workday." So about $400 of labor? Neither the prospective employee or employer get a good 'feel' of each other be…

    This is decent. https://www.edx.org/xseries/harvardx-fundamentals-of-neurosc... Comparable to the intro biological psychology course I took in college. It's free if you don't care …

    you kind of answered your own question with the next to paragraphs. Other car manufacturers don't call their adaptive cruise control 'autopilot' or 'full self driving'.

    "Normal" cars don't call their adaptive cruise control 'autopilot' or sell "Full" self driving that doesn't exist yet. disengaging the autopilot or reducing speed at the wrong time…

    These don't contradict each other at all, unless you don't understand the fundamental idea of a team or organization. Let's say I have ten people with experience A. I add an 11th p…

    I'm pretty selective although I'm fairly low caliber. I have alternative income so I'm never in a rush to get hired. I'm sometimes surprised by weird hiring practices at a place I …

    All data is meaningless if interpreted or used incorrectly. Is there any evidence supporting the use of psychometric evaluations in the context of making hiring decisions? Just int…

    The very fact that they serve many clients gives the service a good view on what generates increased response rates. I once scraped a bunch of job postings and did a simple word fr…
