Need A Job? Skynet’s AI Will Not Recruit You!
Skynet’s AI robot recruiting is on the rise!
So some companies are using Skynet to interview prospective employees. Not good.
This is an employers market and they plan to take control.
I’m self employed, however when I get an opportunity to up my game with new skills I go for it.
I’m a tax pro that doesn’t need to work for TurboTax, however when I got an email about a position I checked it out.
I was interested mainly because I know that Turbotax is owned by Intuit, the Quickbooks company. They are like H&R Block when it comes to staying on top of tax technology and making sure their people are on the forefront of tax laws and software.
So I thought why not go through their training program so I can learn some of the new laws coming for the dramatic 2020 tax year that my annual CTEC hours renewal might not cover.
Soooo I go thru the initial telephone (not Facetime) interview process and all is good. I’m told that I will receive a couple of emails regarding testing. No problem I like taking tests.
TurboTax uses HireVue, a company I’ve never heard of before. If I don’t get the gig due to Skynet’s AI, no problem as my eyes are clearly open to the new way Human Resources is recruiting and hiring people.
But Skynet will not end with recruiting! The sky is the limit for AI!
Anyway I did not know about Skynets AI computer system weeding out applicants because they blinked too much or talked too slow etc.
I did not not know the Skynet AI system is basically looking for robotrons who will take orders with no back talk. I’m sure that’s what HR asked for.
With Skynet running the hiring game it’s truly time to start your own gig because getting a job now with companies using Skynet programs like HireVue, your masters education and cleavage will not matter.
It will not matter if you have a 4.0 grade point average if you sit in from of a Skynet AI recruiter and do not fit the specs the employer seeks.
Skynet is in the recruiting business.
What are we going to do when Skynet tells us that our spouses have the capability to cheat or that your kids will be losers.
We need to go back to analog before it’s too late…oh yeah I forgot it’s already too late!
Wow us lowly human beings are in serious trouble and it’s too late to turn the ship around.
The future looks bleak for job seekers who have to take a Skynet AI test before they get the gig!
- Skynet is the AI that took over the world in the original Terminator movie.

I Passed Skynets interview! Turbo Tax that is! Then they wanted me to submit all my background info to Hire Right who wanted so much info I didn’t even apply!
