My favourite 4chan adjacent Boomerbook page posts an HR woman wojak meme and everyone comes out to chant "we hate HR, we hate HR!"

Reminds me of the weirdest job interview I ever had, this being SpaceX.

Applied, and immediately got a request for interview. Select a time slot on their calendar for following week—sure, done. About 10 minutes before that interview, the HR rep messages me that he can't make it and I need to request another time slot. Okay fine, no harm in that and I sign up for a slot the following week. He cancels the same way again, and now I'm kind of pissed. Frick if, fine I'll pick another time slot.

I FINALLY get to the screening interview and the guy starts out with "why do you want to move to Texas?" To which I tell him that I applied for a Florida position. He says he was looking at the wrong requisition. Onto the next.

His very next question is "why don't you use your [post graduate degree], did you have issues?" To which I tell him that I use the skill set literally daily based on my responsibilities and job name, see points 3 and 4 of my resume. He finally looks at my resume and says "who is [so and so company] and what do they even do?" I reply with "uh, we help make a directly competing product, we're a tier 2 supplier in that supply chain." He scoffs and mentions about how he still hasn't heard of us.

He then finished with a short "I need to go" and hung up promptly. Never heard from them again.

Now—I have royally fricked up interviews before, I know what that looks like. But for SpaceX, I didn't even have a chance to put my worst foot forward, much less actually interview. The H1-B visa thing that's been discovered likely has a lot to do with it lmao
