    Got denied a position I was fully qualified for and was the only applicant for. Got hired in an internship elsewhere in the company. Attended a post-internship recruitment lunch whose “keynote speaker” (hardly) was the dude who interviewed me for the first position. His advice? “I don’t hire anyone if I can see the white of their fingernails. Shows lack of attention to detail.” Lol fuck that guy

        Nah he apparently checked for bitten nails vs clipped nails. Eyes of a hawk this ghoul

          Maybe he was concerned that his employees would unionize and construct Naglfar? Seems like a perfectly reasonable fear to have.

      Might be bullet dodged. Who wants to work for someone like that?

        Not I. He also required people be sitting at their desk and waiting to clock in a 9:00 am on the minute

      Everyone has whites on their fingernails visible, even just after cutting (unless you cut into the body of the nail which is unpleasant at best)...

      Love that he doesn't hire any feminine women. (or other genders, rock those long fingernails!)

      I've done interviews for companies I've worked at before, and it's always astounding to see how absolutely clueless they can be.

      Like, dafuq does all this shit have to do with the job at hand? You need an ass in a chair and 8 hours billable a day. Everything after that is astrology for dweebs.
