Exactly.  Especially as we're quite obviously better than they are. Big smile

Why do I get interviews by people who are quite obviously talentless?

Naturellement! However, I don't think I'd mind being an employer either. I think it's quite entertaining to interview people.Evil Smile

I made a mug of tea, forgot about it, re-heated it, drank some of it, it then went cold, so I filled it up with hot water and now it's cold again.

I'm sure it's a little harder for you people with actual careers though.

James does not have a career. ;-)

You can't tell if someone is lazy from an interview, that is silly.

They're just people in terrible fitting and creased shirts and/or blouses who think they're really clever and know who they want in their company.

Meh.

Well no, but you can determine other things from it that maybe useful in determining whether they are any good.

I realise people are amazing bullsh*tters though.

You are correct.
It's really just a gamble, I've seen tons of people come and go from the movie theater I work at,
and then there's been people there that have been there since I started.

I agree that they're more useful than the useless CV game, but the majority of the people hired at my old job were useless and we did interviews. But I think part of that was that they wanted to hire younger people because we're more likely to accept $8.50/hour and stay there and young people suck.

Everyone I work with is 20 or younger for the most part other than managers.
I think you're on to something with the young people comment.
Hell, I've been at my job for three years and have gotten a total in raises of 20 cents.. They don't see me complaining.

Personally (and I realise you cannot do this for everyone or every vacancy) but giving someone a month's trial/probation and avoiding stuff like CVs/Letters/Interviews, could work better.  Maybe a mini-Interview is useful here (especially as there will be lots of candidates).  Of course, the potential employee has to put the word out too that they're interested.

I know I can do a lot of the jobs I've applied for but not even getting an Interview means I cannot prove to them how good I'd be.

I'll just leave them to get some idiot instead.

I thought you were coming to England, Lizzy?

I thought Norway had some weird prison laws?  Realising you're going to Sweden, obviously.
