Really??!!!!
People who seem to want to trip people with their baby strollers
Monday, March 23, 2015
This is what I will never understand with stupid people.
- the subway doors open (especially at a high traffic hub like Union, Bloor, etc) and they park their stroller literally smack in the middle of the doors. Besides it being stupid as hell, logics of moving masses and all, aren't they scared someone will trip and fall on their kid?? Ridiculous.
- running people over with the stroller. I cannot count the many times I have been run over by a stroller at the mall because people don't pay attention to how big their stroller is. It is ridiculous.
He would not, at all, acknowledge the fact people want to sit down
Mind you, this is rush hour in the morning and he just kept his bag there the entire time. While dressed like he was in the arctic at that moment.
Things I don't understand about how Google hires
As a person who has worked in the online media industry, in digital advertising specifically, who even has experience working at a multinational tech company, I just don't understand how they hire over at Google. Which makes me think I may as well give up the dream of working there because I have too much relevant experience for them.
In my experience of interviewing with Google, I ended up not past the last stage after the 4 x 45 min interviews. And I don't understand it and from the pattern I've seen of people getting hired, it makes no sense to me. Especially because where I failed seems to be more about "what you theoretically would do" vs "what I can do and have done".
I also don't understand why they keep hiring people who have no relevant experience instead of people who have the experience and don't need much training to get started.
Here's a sample of people who they have hired:
- Business analyst at IBM
- Sales at some investment banking company
- Consultant at some big name consulting company (consulting on something unrelated to digital or advertising)
- Random jobs at an Oil and Energy firm
- Analyst at Deloitte
- Buyer at retail companies
- Graphic designer (freelance) and some made up sounding title of Director of a company no one has heard of and has 7 employees TOTAL listed on LinkedIn (and on a factory street)
- Consultant for a pharmaceutical company
- Print rep who never had experience in digital
Basically, if you align too well with the position, you're screwed.
So maybe I need to get a job as an analyst at a pharmaceutical company first before trying to get into Google.
