There are moves you can pull in an interview that will do one of two things: make you look like a ballsy hire or make you look like a complete dickhead. But if you’re not standing out, you might as well just shred up that resume you brought in and go home with your tail between your legs.
But this guy. This fuckin’ guy. The stones on him. There’s shooting for the moon, and then there’s this guy who asked his interviewer out for drinks before even hearing back about the job.
This was pulled from Katarina Batina, who apparently interviewed him. She hashtagged #shemightbegay so I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this didn’t work out well for our boy. But nevermind the fact that what he did was a move that most can’t pull off, I wholeheartedly do not approve of Katarina putting this dude on blast. It’s bad enough that he’s scraping by without a job, but to tweet out his hail mary for the world to see? Have some chill, lady. This isn’t the quarterback of an SEC school dipping into your DMs with a c-shot. This is just a dude who nicely asked you for drinks.
She took it one step further, too, after presumably receiving some blowback.
Nothing I enjoy more than having straight white men tell me what I get to define as harassment. #progress

Now, as a straight white male (#bornthisway), I’m not going to pass my judgment on whether or not this is harassment. Butttttttttt, like, is it actually? “I enjoyed meeting you,” doesn’t exactly sound like hate speech or stepping over the line. But hey, just a straight white male over here doing straight white male things. .

“You can’t talk to me like a normal person!” -Irrational Feminist
Third wave feminism 101:
Hit on someone because you find her attractive: “How dare you harass me! Such white patriarchy in society!”
Don’t hit on someone because you don’t find her attractive: “How dare you not accept me for who I am and not find me attractive even though I weigh 250 pounds! Such white patriarchy in society!”
**cough** Lena Dunham **cough**
AKA the Jesus of third wave feminism.
Damn, now I need TRJ’s take on Lena Dunham.
I would pay money to watch that
If she thinks this is harassment she was obviously forced to turn gay after high school because of her in ability to mate and connect with the opposite sex. She probably hangs out with her neo-feminist friends as they finger bang each other in an upside down triangle formation with eyes painted on their foreheads listening to Shinaed O’Connors greatest hits on vinyl press as the Hallmark Channel plays another empowering woman low budget movie in the background
This really escalated
**mic drop**
like Curtis said I can’t believe that any body can make $8668 in one month on the internet .
See it here===➥➥➥
As a recruiter, I can attest this guy is not the only one to take a shot like this. Based on conversations with people I’ve worked with or met in the industry, a female recruiter/interviewer probably has at least one story in their pocket like this.
So on that note, the fact this girl aired this out is kinda low. Just take it as an irrationally forward compliment and move on.
But just in case I can help anyone out here, this is NOT a good job seeking strategy. 0/10 will not work.
Dinner and drinks? I have a $100 Ruth’s Chris gift card burning a hole in my Khakis.
Hey! You’re the equivalent of a corporate sponsored human trafficker that has committed very soft human rights violations? May I please take you out to a vegan/gluten free dinner?
Thanks for putting my job into perspective Nived
Anytime, I’m here to help!
This is my favorite comment.
“If you’re not moving forward, you’re moving backwards”…do you guys have that slapped across a nice landscape photo of a mountain range that’s framed in your break room for everyone to get motivated and inspired? Sorry, I’ve reached my comment quota for this post. I gotta check myself
Also work in recruiting and had a hiring manager tell me that she once had a guy tell her that he couldn’t accept the position on her team. Why? He told her that she and him would end up hooking up after a few months and everyone in the office would find out. He turned down the offer to “save her her job at the company.”
She thinks he did it to be a dick and she knew he already had a better offer in hand. I still can’t decide if it’s a shooter’s shoot, PGPM or just a completely unprofessional act.
Sounds like a dick move by a big doucher
Not a recruiter by I completely agree…no need for her to put this guy on blast when he clearly was not intending to harass her…she should’ve just taken it as a compliment and kept it off of Twitter.
0/10 it will not work, does that mean it will work 10/10?
^ math checks out
Closing the job and drinks #PGPM
(If someone were to do this, obviously not this guy)
If you say “no” and he doesn’t let up – then it’s harassment, comments like that scare the shit out of me
She’s just pissed because she has to live with the fact that her first and last names rhyme.
Katrina Batina…fee fie fo feena.
Her name makes her sound like the main character in a children’s book series.
Will, we all know that because you’re a straight, white male, your opinion doesn’t matter. You’ve never been in her shoes, who are you to judge?
What the fuck has this world come to? This guy has balls, he did something that the majority of men in the world wouldn’t have the courage to do. He wasn’t crude, rude, or disrespectful, all he asked was would she like to get a drink, which isn’t harassment. Now what does she do? Attempt to humiliate the guy over the internet and yell harassment. She doesn’t have the character caliber that he does. Good on you dude for having courage, it won’t go unnoticed.
shooters gonna shoot
This is the epitome of “if she was into it l, then it’s the story she tells everyone at the bridal shower” but since she’s not, it’s harassment…
