Talview interview feedback

So i just gave a talview interview (for the uninitiated, talview is an online automated interview tool). The amount of permissions the tool asked was mindboggling and if this is the future, than it is worrying for data invasion and privacy.

  • The tool requests your audio, video and screen recording permission while giving the interview to avoid cheating
  • It also requests you to not have any microphone and no external sounds disruption or you will be disqualified.
  • In addition it requests you to do a 360 degree recording of your room surrounding including ceiling 🤣 before starting the interview

I was tempted to discountinue the interview before starting itself but since I wanted to see how deep the rabbit hole was, I proceeded with my curiosity.

  • So i attempted the first section of the interview (they had 4 sections) and it required you to complete 40 quant questions in 20 minutes 🥲. I could attempt only 10 and the interview was cut short by the tool which had a minimum score requirement to further proceed in the interview. I felt like I was sitting in a maths exam again, scratching my head and almost wanting to cry 😭.

All in all, the tool and in the interview just made me feel miserable and lose my confidence. Oh and by the way, the tool was just 1 round of the interview process, they had further 3 to 4 rounds 🤣 If you succeed.

Everything is complex these daysdays. All i want is a job and minimum wage to feed myself and family. Is that too much to ask ?
