Six years ago, I applied for a job that made me record ten five-minute videos answering their questions.

It was a colossal pain in the ass, and I wasn't allowed to go back and retake. I'm not actually talking to a human, so my rambling nature kind of took over, and don't know if I really ever answered the questions because I didn't have any ways of clarifying the questions and "course correcting".

They never got back to me, so maybe they're still considering me :).

Though that's not nearly as bad as Canonical's awful process.

Yeah, I wasted probably 40 hours of my life on Canonical's interview process and never even got to talk to a person. They wanted to know my high school GPA and ACT score.

They wanted to know my high school grades and ACT, and they also made me write a nine page essay about skills that have been impactful to me.

Then they made me take some weird IQ test thing, and then they wanted me to take another one. I was genuinely starting to get kind of worried that they were going to make me talk about my astrology sign, so I eventually just emailed them saying that this is all stupid and I don't want to continue.
