I was talking to my friend who is in HR at a dispatch company, he said he saw a lot of applicants this year who “aren’t doing the basics”, eg: they’re dressed poorly, rub their nose constantly during interviews, show up with a clip-on bowtie half falling off, etc…
He also said he’s seen numerous applicants with bowl cuts (like were popular in the 90s). Apparently one applicant was ~60 years old and said his favorite TV show was Sailor Moon. My friend said the female applicants are a lot less weird and way more professional.
My friend also said he was having to choose between native English speakers who are weird, and people from the Philippines/Jamaica/etc… who speak with heavy accents but are more normal (no bowl cuts).
Did anyone else notice this trend?
