that guy should definitely wait a while before getting married again. at least move in with the girlfriend beforehand, maybe make sure she's actually good with the kids.

I hope to see Ask a Manager address it soon.

I hope to see Ask a Manager address it soon. I mean that is basically the most effective way of selecting suitable candidates for a job. It would certainly be an improvement if it replaces (and is not in addition to) the dozens of hours of bullshit personality and cognitive tests and writing the loving personal letter and multiple rounds of interviews. If the candidate happens to discover in the process that the position of "senior marketing assistant" mostly involves manually transfering customer data from an outdated system to a slightly less outdated system is another matter entirely, and possibly not a bad thing. If you didn't like doing it for 90 min, just imagine doing it for 5 years.

I've been playing a lot of incremental games lately, so I think the fees for a marriage/divorce should be exponential based on how many of each you've had. Say 1.2 exponent, so your wedding license is $100, your divorce is $158.49... Wedding 2 251.19 Divorce 2 397.85 Wedding 3 630.96 Divorce 3 998.97 Wedding 4 1580.62 Divorce 4 2502.55 Wedding 5 3963.08 Divorce 5 6277.32

Counterpoint: any job selection process that requires a candidate to do more than 5 minutes combined of work sample over the entire selection process should be mandated by law to pay that person at the hourly rate of whatever position it is that they are applying for. Because employers are already being found to be taking the piss with these types of selection processes, and are actually getting prospective candidates to do work for free under the assumption that they have a chance at being hired when in fact they do not.

It's 100% this. It's not appropriate to ask candidates to undertake work outside of the auspices of an interview or interviews. If you want work samples outside of an existing portfolio you need to pay for it Recruitment is a gamble and there is no way employers can eliminate all risk. Even if someone does put together your new brand template, or codes your whatever successfully (or whatever it is), they still might not end up a suitable candidate long term. That's life. As stated, too many employers take the piss with it for it to be a viable option for job seekers

Let's not forget the subtle self-selection of people who can work a full day then go home and do work for your interview as well, as opposed to: - Go to their second job - Raise their kids - Care for a sick family member.

It's an effective way of tricking/pressuring people into doing work for free. Getting someone to do actually useful work as part of a so-called interview process should be absolutely illegal under minimum wage laws, and since we're not likely to get much labor protection in the US people pushing back hard against all forms of 'do work for free' is the next best thing.

Before I got my current gig, I spent 18 months as an unemployed journalist, which sucked big time. During that time I got a call for an interview out to Lima, Ohio to newspaper gig. I was like... okay, a job's a job? So I drove 8 hours to Lima, to do an interview the next day. I got there, and it was an all day affair, out to lunch, time at the printing press, and then they had me sit down to to a mock interview for a story, with the their news director sitting in as the PIO of a local police department. I was given 5 minutes to interview the guy for a "drunk driving story" and would not be given any other information or be allowed to do the interview over. Nor could I record it. Which are like... basic parts of reporting work? When I handed the story in, I was 'docked points' for not asking for exact intersection of the crash, and which departments responded to the crash. I also didn't get the job. 8 hours back to Wisconsin. God, I hate Ohio.

Good lord, Grampa. Am I wrong for thinking I'm still young? quote:I'm an active person. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week, ride my bike around for 45-60 minutes on days that I don't, and I like going skiing. My blood pressure is good and my organs are healthy. I also consider myself pretty youthful. I like going out with friends and/or meeting people, I make music during my spare time, and I'm a certified personal trainer. I also referee for recreational and competitive basketball games at the university, where people think I'm an undergrad student. I'm a playful and talkative person

The post does highlight something that's been at the back of my mind for a while - what's the point of using fake first names on AITA? It doesn't matter to random redditors if the names are real, they are just names. As for the people involved, if they don't read AITA then it doesn't matter if the names are real, they are not gonna know that you posted about them in any case. And if they read AITA then they're going know that you posted, fakes names or not, because the situations are extremely specific.

K is in college and has a boyfriend P (25m). The other day K, M and P were at S's house with L, and he invited me over as well. It's 14km from my house to S's house, if I normally travel at 5km/h but there's a 20km/h headwind and the house is travelling at a 30 degree angle from me at 2km/h, how many apples should I bring for the trip, assuming I eat 1.5 apples every 4 minutes?
