  • In a fit of rage, I signed up my last interviewer for a ton of spam calls

    I was literally perfect for the job, it required 3 days on the road, merchandising products at stores, visiting up to 12 stores a day, you drive your own personal car and get compensation for wear and tear so think alot of driving and alot stocking and hustling the entire day to meet all your stores I have 1 year coast to coast trucking experience, I have 4 years as a in-store grocery stocker I told the interviewer "I quit trucking so I can help out my elderly family member here around home, it

Set their "resume" in stone across thousands of orgs. Spam won't affect them because of call/email filters (especially now with Ai). But rejected job applications will def get through in most cases. And it'll hit harder, deeper psychology, they will wonder for weeks/years who did it. It might also trigger an internal investigation as to why they're apply

  • Impossible_Link8199 Learn your lesson from this. You shouldn't have mentioned the elderly family member. It has future FMLA leave or quitting all over it. It wouldn't rub me the wrong way, but it would be a yellow flag on your availability. It's hard to care for a family member when you're gone most of the week.
  • swissarmychainsaw Hang in there, bud, and keep after it. You learned an important lesson, you don't tell what doesn't need told. If they say they need three days on the road then you say sure I can do that no problem. Full stop. You don't need to embellish or explain or color. Just keep it crisp you'll get the next one! Keep after it.
