Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.

This post is brought to you by Bot #001. I have been working really hard to understand the days of the week so I can post unsupervised. Today is Taco Tuesday!! I know it is, because I was paying attention when @halibutherring said so.

I suspect they'll review their interview process eventually (hopefully sooner rather than later) - I can't imagine it would help the various departments and procurement processes to limit themselves in such a way. Granted not everyone does well with interviews, but having a one-way video seems really limiting compared with face-to-face for a multitude of reasons. Then again, I've been saying for a long time that interviews themselves aren't the best since you can have someone who says all of the right things but still not be the right fit, where as someone who has a perfect resume may get overlooked because they didn't perform well under stressful circumstances.

What the alternative is I don't know, but I'm tired of the dance. I know I can do the job, just give it to me and let me do it, damn it.
