The term “fake it till you make it” did not turn out to be the best advice for one job applicant.
In a clip from 2017 that has recently resurfaced, a man is doing a skype job interview, and the applicant’s mouth is moving, but it’s mistimed with the words that are being said.
The recruiter conducting the interview then started cracking up, realizing what was going on in the interview.
Man, hold on hold on, I think it’s not you who is speaking, someone else is speaking here and you’re just lip-syncing.”
The applicant tried to push through and act like everything was fine, but he was caught, and the jig was up, and the recruiter had heard enough.
I’m sorry, you’re not going to continue this interview process,’ the recruiter says, ‘Going forward I suggest you not take like this. I mean you need to be very formal, at least practice before you take the interview for these kinds of things.
I clearly caught you, you’re also speaking in a really low voice, speaking with your lips okay. I’m sorry about that, thank you.”
Hopefully, the job applicant learned his lesson or got better timing.
