Epidemic of Zoom Interview Cheats
Title self explanatory. Tired of interviewing kids thinking they can read off a cheat sheet during a Zoom interview.
We’re not blind and you’re too smart to need to be doing that.
Reading off your ‘tell me about yourself’? Common…
"Reading off your ‘tell me about yourself’? Common…"
"Common"
As much as I want to say the inability to answer ‘tell me about yourself’ is a red flag, I kind of get it for recent grads. Your nervous, if you say something that is perceived as ‘fascist’ then there goes your chances. They just have yet to learn that most people are pretty normal outside the world of higher education.
Don't think coming across as a fascist is a very common pitfall...
Yeah, I get it too. I remember when I was interviewing, the associate said I was coming off as too “vegetarian” so I knew I lost that offer..
If you're saying something in an interview that could even remotely be perceived as "fascist," you absolutely shouldn't get the IB job. At the senior levels, this is a people-driven and sales-heavy business, and the industry naturally selects for candidates who can navigate different personalities and perspectives. Just as IB doesn't hire communists, it shouldn't hire facists, extremists are stupid.
If your political beliefs are so strong that they unintentionally surface in an interview, that’s a red flag, not just for your ability to work with a diverse client base, but also for how well you handle high-pressure, professional settings. Successful bankers work across political, cultural, and industry lines, if you can't keep your personal ideology separate from a job interview, you're probably not a fit for this career.
Dude what the hell are you talking about that would make someone think you're fascist? Clear incel.
My point is simple, look at the modern college campus. Unnecessarily PC, the word fascist is thrown around over nothing. I could see why someone with little to no actual real life experience would want to be cautious with their answer and aim to not say anything remotely uncouth. Now, would the interviewer actually call them a fascist, likely not. But, you don’t know how their opinions on certain matters are and what weight that may take on their decision after the interview.
I remember when I memorized inflation & BoE rates—got falsely accused of reading off a script for using rudimentary abilities of my brain
