Came to say this, only feel slightly better knowing it was already said and has upvotes.
Every day I'm feeding my resume into the big "Computer Says No" machine.
But it's not just a "Computer Says No" machine.
It is also a "Computer sells your data before and after saying No" machine.

This week I had two scams, too.
One just solicited me to do crimes. They wanted me to interview on behalf of other people. Just came out and said that's the deal
The other seemed a little off in its email, so I contacted the company directly and they said the position doesn't exist, and they didn't email me.
It's a hellscape
I mean, how much they payin for those interviews? That doesn't sound like a bad gig, fuck corpo's.
They didn't say, but like
- if they're a criminal enterprise there's no guarantee they'll pay you
- my lawyer friend said i'd be exposed to criminal and civil problems
- you're just helping some other corpo
I just had a 20 minute call with a recruiter. Was going great! Then she mentions the position is IT for a company in the financial sector...
Instantly I knew... I asked if it was XYZ company, and she said yes.
I was so salty... I had an interview direct with XYZ a fuckin month ago, and they ghosted me. Not even a rejection notice.
I had a recruiter contact me on LinkedIn about a great opportunity for SWE position located in Y country in the health insurance sector. I do a bit of a research about the recruiter and their company (it turned out to be an outsourced company for some % of recruitment originally done by X company). I ask if it's regarding the X company (I interviewed with them not 2 months prior to this person contacting me, and they rejected me, and not only that they said they would come back to me in 7 days max, and guess what, they came back to me almost full 4 weeks later, and I had to spam a person I knew worked there for the feedback who was not involved in the recruitment process), and they said yes it's regarding the X company. I told them I did an interview with them and got the rejection, and that's it, they said 'Oh we don't track who was already interviewed there, etc'. It makes sense kind of that the outsourced company doesn't know that, because I originally interviewed directly with X, but the absurdity of getting rejected and then being contacted for the position again is just mind boggling to me.
Now I'm sad again.
Guys, you can name and shame.
They can't hurt you here (because we don't matter)
have you tried blatantly lying like there's no tomorrow?
If they can lie on the listing I can lie on my resume.
