If you had lunch with a friend, took a picture, and posted it online, would it have been to "show off"? Ask yourself why you're making that assumption about the subjects of this photo.

Agreed, this is pretty gross.

I tried one of these video screening interviews once. It's very unfriendly to the neuro-atypical. Gave up about halfway through, because I was on the verge of a stress-induced panic attack and figured the job wasn't worth it with this kind of hoop to apply.

This sounds like just another way of saying "ideas guy".

I get a lot of “can you just make me a checklist I can follow.”

I'm teaching computer networking and this hits the nail on the head. My students are plenty willing to learn answers to multiple choice questions. However, it is like pulling teeth trying to give them anything even slightly open ended. Sorry, at your real job the boss isn't going to come up to you in a panic and say "the network went down, which of these 4 answers is the reason?"

Troubleshooting, researching, and having curiosity are all important in this field. I'm having difficulty getting them to see that, or care.

They can't do that, it's illegal!
