That is what you get for having the same birthday as Hitler.

Maybe that’s why they kicked him out of art school…

I don’t understand why the name of the company is redacted. They chose to send this letter, let 'em own it.
Smoogs@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Lol I’m just imagining whomever told AI to do this must have had a bad date with a Taurus. Your chakras are all wrong!!
pineapplelover@infosec.pub 11 months ago
Damn, hopefully that won’t happen to me. I was born on June 9th

You can only apply to jobs in European countries.
Sorry, I don’t make the rules.

Says the guy who was probably born on September 6.
Deuces@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Nice
viking@infosec.pub 11 months ago
That date means nothing to me, what happened there?
BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Nice day.

Sue them for age discrimination and watch their lawyers sweat awhile.
TheBiscuitLout@lemmy.world 11 months ago
If that’s not a reason to write your dates in a less unhinged format, I don’t know what is.
ricecake@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
It’d probably still flag on 1990-04-20 unfortunately, since the application probably didn’t ask for birthday, but date of birth, which would have a year.
Honestly, if you ask for someone’s date of birth and they just give you the month and day, that’s about as useful as saying it was a Wednesday.

Honestly, if you ask for someone’s date of birth and they just give you the month and day, that’s about as useful as saying it was a Wednesday.
Which is honestly all you should feel obligated to give them, since it’s illegal to discriminate based on age. The only potential reason an employer would need to ask for birthday during hiring is to be able to distinguish between applicants with identical names.
Laticauda@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
I just put the month name instead of the month number personally.
thorbot@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Fake as fuck
ares35@kbin.social 11 months ago
that's unfortunate. sure looks like they could use some competency in the area applied-for.
Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I would spam them with even more “inappropriate” but equally plausible applications out of sheer pettiness and the vain hope that a real person would see it and realize that using AI to screen job applications is an awful idea.

That is what happens when you don’t write your birthday in the correct format you filthy barbarian

4\20
Vlyn@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
I mean that’s what you get for writing the date wrong :)
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
What? How old are you?
PullUpCircuit@iusearchlinux.fyi 11 months ago
Op is 54 years old
TootSweet@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I see what you did there.
Laticauda@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
April 20th, not 2020.
Zoidberg@lemm.ee 11 months ago
OP can always say they meant April 1920 and sue for age discrimination.
BrownianMotion@lemmy.world 11 months ago
If you were normal… 20/4/19xx … or 20th of April, 19xx. If you insist on freedom units and format, its your own fault!
Also, who knows what it was written to identify? you are all speculating. It could have been weed smokers (420) but it could also have been written to filter out the yanks…!
MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 11 months ago
So, uh, what was on 4/20?
pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
For possible non US people? knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/420
hellequin67@lemm.ee 11 months ago
In fairness for non-US this makes even less of an issue as my birthday is 20/4 and 4/20 as a date is meaningless.
shalafi@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s a reference to smoking weed. Reread it with that in mind and it’ll be clear.
HikingVet@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Hitler’s death.
DeepFriedDresden@kbin.social 11 months ago
Close. He died on 4/30, he was born on 4/20. But there were many deaths at Columbine High School on 4/20/1999.
Frypant@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Ignoring my first instinct, I tried to imagine some context to this, and if someones linkedin profile says he is in his 30s with a lot of experience, but somehow after applying, they got a cv of a 20 year old with little experience, it put them into a situation where the first impression based on this breaks the trust they try to build with an applicant.
It is probably still not wise to point out the age discrepancy, but i can see how I wouldn’t want to work with someone who I only know for 5 seconds but already confused me.
There is a chance, the letter was written by an AI, but equaly can be a corporate template.
If it was a typo, and the difference is only a couple days, tough luck, maybe you should remove the “attention to details” part from your cv. :D
ComradeBunnie@aussie.zone 11 months ago
The issue is the 4/20 (blaze it).
It also seems fake.
