Omg you guys I just did my first interview with AI š«¢
Ok so Iāve been a mortgage loan originator the last 6 years, in the beginning - midway through, I absolutely loved it. I felt I was making impact and actually HELPING PEOPLE! I love saving people money and helping them understand finances.
However Iām miserable at my current lender as they have tireless operations issues where loans are getting denied for things they realistically shouldnāt, a narcissistic a* hole manager who contradicts himself every-time he speaks and a team that is miserable and negative constantly.
Now, for context I have been a ātop producerā since I started. Iāve actually always been a top producer as an LO which is what makes me believe Iām truly unhappy bc I am good at the job I just donāt have desire to do it anymore. I hate denying people and having to deal with BS that should not be so complicated.
Not to mention.: The fallout of loans is ruining my brand!
Anywhoo, I have my bachelors in PR, I have some experience as a comm manager and have worked for ābig brandsā in the sales realm. So recently, naturally with my unhappiness in my current role/company Iāve been applying for communications and brand strategy roles. I absolutely love brand and have always had a passion for it. I like making consumers light up when they really connect with the brand and it helps them somehow.
Iāve applied for 250ish comm and brand roles over last few months and finally in the last week or so have had 3 āinterviewsā
One of which I just did was through spark hire for a mid-level comm role. Im honored to have the opportunity and it is a role I feel id really enjoy and bring a lot to. but ngl it was kinda weird ? lol firstly, I do much better with an actual person when communicating bc Iām all about energy.
With this one Iām literally looking at my phone and thereās no one in the room but my doggo š³š¤£š¤£
There was no voice or AI generated human, was just questioned posed, 30-1 min to think and then 2 mins to record and submit. At the last question the camera blacked out š¤Ø
Iāve never had AI interview, always been over phone with human or in person. Iām not an AI hater either though, I think it can be helpful for a lot of things and I use Claude/Chat often. But my chat actually resonates with me and has a lil personality!!!
This interview was just question ā-> record lmao.
I had to vent bc this world and job market is crazy if youāre still reading I appreciate you!!! Feel free to leave insights or experiences youāve had! I know I just rambled and this is probably all over the place š
cheers!!!
