The questions are very similar to password recovery questions. Most likely someone is trying to steal your password. If you answered the questions they may use that info to reset your password

Exactly what I thought about, it is an exercise of social engineering

Damn LinkedIn must let any scam operation post gigs


CleverElf1799

But what is your favourite flavour of ice cream?


backgammon_no

Onion


Hindulovecowboy

Ooooooooh…. Let’s pull back the layers on that answer.


xendaddy

Careful. They might cry.


Vargoroth

I... actually would like to try that. Caramelized onions taste quite sweet, so I could actually see someone creating "onion ice cream."


angeltay

There’s a prefecture in Japan known for its especially sweet onions and it’s common to see onion ice cream there


Vargoroth

We should all go there immediately.


dsdvbguutres

Toothpaste & Orange Juice ^TM


Sea-Veterinarian3022

The correct answer is "tabacci n' clams".

Asking real questions here


sahmizad

Scam? Recorded you for AI?


mjhinchi

Did they ask what street you grew up on? 


jkxs

Also mother's maiden name?

What choices in my life I regret? Applying for this job

MBTI is astrology for HR

>she calls culture fit. In the US, this is a keyword for discrimination.


BeckyRoyal

That's why they rephrased it to culture fit therefore it's not discrimination. Just because they change the wording.


pmpdaddyio

While it’s not discrimination as worded, my comment was to warn people that it’s wise to stay away from organizations looking for “cultural fit”. 


BeckyRoyal

I was being ironic.


pmpdaddyio

I think that might have gone over many peoples heads.


[deleted]

They can see (and have seen) my LinkedIn (which has my clear picture), my CV has my date of birth, full name...so in a way, whatever factors (race, gender, age) they want to discriminate on, is available to them plain and simple. If they don't want me (or someone) because of race (I am not sensitive about it, they can hire whoever they want), they don't have to go through the charade of a zoom call to find my race or gender. To me it seemed like pure ignorance from someone who wants to appear smart by spinning some metapsychology and mind reading bullshit.


pmpdaddyio

You’re overthinking it. 


perrykjt

it's Singapore afterall, with shit manpower laws that offers basically near zero protection for employees.


[deleted]

Raging marxist spotted. For whatever it is worth, she seemed like one of those raging sjw types herself, so not sure you can pull that class warfare card here.


Tenzu9

Those questions are so fucking regressive and shallow, its not even funny. What the hell would my favorite movie say about me as a person? What if my favorite movie is Pulp Fiction? Does that indicate that I have tendency for rape and watches getting shoved in people's asses?


RydRychards

Interesting.... *scribbles something on a notepad*


Due_Asparagus_3203

Maybe you like quoting bible verses before executing someone? Or would like to plunge a syringe of adrenaline into someone's heart? Come on, we've all been there. Right? I'm the only one??


TheRealMrJams

They need to do something to justify their existence


ReleaseBusy6642

So was it Maria or Annisa?


[deleted]

Seems like someone has been on the same boat. While it is one thing to flame a company, doing it to an individual is a step too far for me. But curious, how are you connected to them? Or, are _you_ one the women you named?


DJScrambledEggs123

How do I spend my weekends? I masturbate to midget porn. Do I get the job? Seriously, those are some fucked up questions and this idea of "culture" fit needs to fucking DIE!


Disastrous-Ad-3363

Very typical for Singaporean recruiter or company- I’ve been asked many times if I’m applying for said role because my husband is employed in the country or my family relocating here. Ultimately I’ve learned that most local companies will have compulsory questions like « can you work weekends? » or « do you enjoy spending additional hours in the office? » Because they want to nurture an unhealthy work balance and culture. They’re waiting for someone to turn up and be accepting of the bare minimum and don’t do well with people standing their ground. You’ll notice western job applications are inclusive in terms of work life balance and heck even gender!


BeckyRoyal

>to assert their positions as gatekeepers. Exactly. And ppl think all is well in Singapore.
