Not your usual interview fraud

[Kurt Buff]

In the past few years I've sat in on a number of interviews for the helpdesk and sysadmin positions. There were a few candidates who were obviously consulting AI offscreen, but this is very different.

Fairly amusing,

I am of the handshake era. A man, or woman, is only as good as their word.

 

It’s not surprising yet it is and greatly disappointing.

Same. At least one of our interview rounds is always in person.
