BUZZFEED DIDN'T HIRE ME BECAUSE OF THIS QUESTION
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2017
- Apparently saying straight white males are cool, will cost you the job at Buzzfeed. Totally joking and I have to say that so no one takes me too seriously. I have nothing against Buzzfeed. I still take the occasional quiz and watch the occasional "Try Guys" video, this video is merely me telling you my experience with the whole interview and job application process.
So, I follow this twitter page that tweets every time there is a social media or digital media job that opens up. I saw an opening for a Video Intern for BuzzFeed Los Angeles. I clicked the link and saw about 20 openings for other jobs on the BuzzFeed site, so I thought why not? I make videos. Why not apply to become a video intern at BuzzFeed?
I've definitely heard all the negative press BuzzFeed has been receiving lately all the way from race baiting to fake news, but this wasn't really a concern of mine because I didn't plan on making that kind of video if they were to hire me. From what I've read, you're pretty much free to make the kind of content you want as long as its not too far right. I planned on keeping it as non-political as possible. Now I've see all the "Why I Left BuzzFeed" videos, and what concerned me was how much I could be involved in creating other content for my own youtube channel and perhaps other brands. That was a problem I decided I would worry about later.
I filled out an application, created a BuzzFeed styled video for them, and turned it in online. After about a month or so, I heard back from them again and did a video interview for them. This interview involved no humans. I sat in front of a webcam and answered pre-set questions within a timed limit. After that, I moved on to the next round for an in person interview, where I faced 5 BuzzFeed employees who would grill me about my internet knowledge. I think I did okay answering question after question, until they asked the one that would lead to my ultimate rejection.

Why I left buzzfeed: They didn't hire me
You were just too white and your maleness was just too pure.
Literally
Glad that you won't have to paint with your period blood
Its Celine loool
Omfg I thought you were joking. That's a real thing. 🤢
That comes in the follow-up interview if you get past the initial one. The follow-up interview also includes making a Rorschach interpretation of used, crumpled tampons & douches.
LMAO!
Its a real thing??? In Buzzfeed??? I gotta see this. Gross.
Congrats on getting rejected by buzzfeed! So happy for you. Thats probably the best thing that happened to you in 10 years.
Rename this video to "Dodging a Bullet" sister
No, people wouldn't click the video as much if that was the title, and the "dodging a bullet" title needs more context.
@@A-Dubs398 It was a joke...

I would have answered for the favorite video about buzzfeed as "why I left buzzfeed"
Jordan morris lol i would love to see their reactions
Buuurrrn 🙌🔥
The "movies 100%" answer was basically the same thing cuz they were probably thinking, "uh oh, she's definitely gonna be one of those "why I left buzzfeed" video people cuz her reason would be "to make movies of course!" 😂
Well your first mistake was thinking Buzzfeed was a good place
To make a "Why I left BuzzFeed" video when she was done with it.
How is it not...?
It’s not that bad but it is weird as shit
@@MyFictionalChaos Lmao because it's filled with entitled millennials, offended by everything, and stealing content from other channels.
HinaHina from safiya nygard in my opinion
The one thing I’ve learnt from doing interviews is dont be 100% honest , you literally have to tailor every thing you say to what they want you to say
Vanessa V depends on the one doing the hiring. I pass on the bullshitter every time. I appreciate the honest approach.
Tip Aly - it does depend on the hiring person, but most interviews I’ve been successful at were the ones in which I tailored the answers to their business model and needs, and I put emotion into it.
Vanessa V that is so true! Sometimes You gotta lie to get the job. Ive tried the honest route and on paper that sounds commendable but in REALITY it wont get you anywhere. U gotta get yourself in by any means necessary.
RuggedALAN Yeah, my last 2 jobs i lied to get hired or else i might not even have $ for a phone right now to comment.

XD true tho
Love you too
Seems similar to those fast food and grocery store jobs that ask what degrees you have and what your future plans are. Obviously someone close to an engineering degree won't stay long.
literally every company in the world.
Dear god their application process in ridiculous... like do they really need to do that much?
Jenny Reed I assume they do it because so many people apply. If you've got way more applicants than you can ever hire, you can be really picky and make sure you're only getting the exact employee you're looking for.
You think with all those requirments they'd be able to hire good people.
they’re extra af
Jenny Reed I
I hate buzzfeed but I gotta side with them on this one. When you need to hire someone to work with you, you can’t just do it out of sympathy. You need to actually see their work and what they’re fit to do, because they do get _paid_ . If it’s just a free job, then it would seem ridiculous to have this many questions. But if it’s a paid job, for something like getting videos viral, then you really need specific types of people.
*Girl* walks into room.
Buzzfeed: "ArE yOU a STr8 wItE MaLe?!"
I am a gay black female, but I identify as a straight white male...
@@sierraromeomike you forgot trans, you privileged cis shitlord!
You’re overqualified..
Chad Orable I think she’s too ugly lol look at her nose
Dylan Gill wtf she’s cute
not assertive enough ew wtf
Dylan Gill guess we know who watches BuzzFeed videos lmao
Dylan Gill yikes Imao
I love how chill this video was filmed. Usually people would film this sitting on their bed staring at the camera, but she used different settings outside which made the video much more relaxed
nicole gomes i was just thinking that and then i looked down and saw this comment
Relaxed? I could barely concentrate bc she was shouting over the background noise
And the change in scenery makes it more bearable to watch. It's not just a blank white wall behind her. This would have been incredibly boring if not for the way she filmed.
nicole gomes yes and this is only 6 minutes, most go for like 10+
Reminds me of a Remington College commercial
"Are you a straight white male?" LMAOOOOOO that actually seems like a legit question they would ask.
I actually thought that was the serious question😓....ahhhh, when did I lose my sense of humor?😖
Note to everyone: Every interview questions asked on you should be correlated to the company. It'll always be about them. That's how they'll know your very much interested to be on their company.
I can not relate... they cant believe you when you say the company means everything for you, cause you can't possibly know, you dont ve any experience working for them. Its like saying "I love you" on your first date. I prefere honesty.
@@benjaminhartmann4522 i wish thats how more interviewers thought about it lol
Yep, that's how the rat race works kids!
I honestly think you are way too smart for buzzfeed
Aww Thanks :)
true
East Houdini a lot of people in buzzfeed went to an ivy league/ really good private universities. But either way, she does seem smart and it sucks that she got rejected but maybe its a good thing for her cos she has really good content
East Houdini well to be honest she could have been a good addition... Let's be honest. BuzzFeed isn't who makes video its the peopleor "producers". If we could have one person at BuzzFeed that can respect a person no matter their belief... I think it would be great thing to have video not based on belief. That's why I like the tasty channel over the BuzzFeed channel... There is barely anyone talking lol
She not have purple hair no does she seem like the Far Left ANTIFA, statue trashing type either. I'm not surprised that she was not hired.
That kind of sucks, seems like they just wanted a robot! What matters more is whether you're passionate about making content... and these companies pretending to sit there and know about the internet and "viral videos" a place where we are almost every day is laughable... RANT OVER... (that pissed me OFF)...
LeeToTheVI but passion leads to making bigger better things. We can't have that lol
thanks for leaving the insightful comment 🙂
LeeToTheVI z
LeeToTheVI iiooo
LeeToTheVI hold on, you’re missing the point, it’s not about being “passionate about the content” it’s about WHAT type of content. Compare videos buzzfeed makes on mental health and social justice issues to Her making a Harry Potter movie review.
Don't worry they will steal your content later
3:49 I wish I was confident enough to talk to a camera in public sitting right next to a random stranger lol HOW
haha that really isn't a random stranger. That's my cousin, but we thought it'd be funny if the audience thought she was random
"are you a straight white male?"
me, a Gay Hispanic Woman: yes
Every time I hear about companies with a ridiculous interview process I want to yell at them that it's not that serious. A coworker of mine was made to write treatments for, like, three months for a social media app before they hired her. I'm pumped for the movies you're gonna eventually make, honestly.
The long process is the trick to make you want the job even more.
Aww thanks. You'll definitely have a spot in my movie, Karen!
Psych IRL D'aww thanks, Donna!! x
Karen Murray fuck buzz feed 🖕🏻
Please don’t get mad at me but put co-worker instead because it looks like *cow* worker 😂 no offence
Have you ever ran a business before? It IS that serious. It’s not like they’re hiring a janitor... they are hiring an add on to the creative staff
I was wondering why you even applied. . .then the "I low key want to make a 'Why I Left Buzzfeed' video" caption appeared and I was like "lol, don't we all" 🤣
NikitaRoqueSox
Bus Feet
XD
Lmao i bet you're thankful Buzzfeed didn't recruit you now
The question actually makes sense because they don’t want someone who’s going to come in, get experience, and then leave because their job isn’t fulfilling enough. Other companies will ask a similar type of question which is, “where do you see yourself in 5 years?” and if your answer includes being in a different company, then they won’t hire you.
Kilayli I feel like that's true if the company is shortsighted, which isn't a good sign... If a company is scared of an employee being successful then you know you're nothing but a number to them and they're not interested in you in the long run
adenineful that's kinda how corporations work though
Ictus I hear ya, but thankfully increasingly more see the value in investing in people
adenineful I think that it's more because of all the high profile employees that have left lately to make different kinds of content. All the why I left buzzfeed videos include some kind of factor of "I wasn't making the type of content that I wanted to make" so I can see their concern
Yeah, it's a pretty standard interview question and important for anyone. You always want to give a response that will show that your goals align with where the company sees you.
I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. I'm glad that you're keeping your head up, though. You're a bright, young, talented creator and keeping your passions in front of you is a great sign that you're not getting slowed down by some failing company who doesn't want people who have aspirations outside of that failing company. You keep going! :D
Thanks for all the kind words. Means a lot :)
K
Why would you even want to work for buzzfeed anyways?
you are moronic. you think her persisting on a no-name channel that only gets hits by name-dropping larger channels/ brands is better than working at an established big name like Buzzfeed?
Ambition is one thing. Pomposity is another. No one made it big without putting in the yards.
Psych IRL I’m sorry but if companies are being that sensitive they need to grow up and change their shit
The girl sitting next to her was scrolling and tapping on her phone that was just blank... Just a black screen not even on.
Well I read my books with a black screen, and you usually can't even tell that it's on.
Either low brightness or privacy screen protector
There's reflection because of the sunlight.. of course you cant see anything from that angle
It's sunny outside so you wouldn't be able to see anything from where their filming lmao
lol It's because they are outside you can't see it.
Such a complicated application process and yet their employees are trash
"You are not allowed to be straigh----"
I CHEOUHHSKWHWDJK
that part was hilarious
what's the problem being one though?
What the hell lol
your user and pfp omg-
I love how you've edited this. I agree with you, when I've hired people in the past for digital companies one of my questions is always what type of content are you most passionate about and I would always hope they say short form entertainment or whatever it is we're making.
so you rather prefer liers. Nice :)
Lmao all she did mostly was cut the video.
No, I think Peter prefers people who want to make content inline with what the company does.
That’s an insane interview process for an internship...
Sounds like they haven't changed their business practices towards creators but they have added a shitty question in response to all the why I left videos
You probably wouldn't want to work there anyway. From the other people who have left and gave a reason why, it sounds like they own you and your content. They care too much about progressing their popularity than caring about their workers. You'll find a job that's better for you!
Guys if you're a Buzzfeed fan, the jokes aren't that serious. As I stated in the video, written in the description, and explained to a few people in the comments, this is not an expose nor is it a vendetta on Buzzfeed. It's me simply explaining the interview process with added humor.
I Respond to Angry BuzzFeed Fan Comments Here: ua-cam.com/video/ps9wr7UDPys/v-deo.html
There are plenty "How I got my job at Buzzfeed" videos. This is a video about "What not to do" (in the in person interview). If you for some reason are you applying to be a video intern, take notes and good luck. Here is the video I turned in as my entry: ua-cam.com/video/tD7X9ag8nZA/v-deo.html
Ooo1
Keep your head up! The real reason you weren't hired was because you're not a purple haired, thick glasses wearing, androgenous lesbian, femminist.
If they didn’t hire you because you didn’t said you wanted to make buzzfeed videos forever is clearly becuz they just want you to say how muuuuuuch u love them & how u woooouuuld die to join them by kissing their ass just to get the job.
Psych IRL 755th like
It is okay to be a feminist, just don't be a purple haired angry modernised version (the kind that leaves a stigma on those fighting for proper equality). Buzzfeed are usually far left which is usually worse than being far right. Antifa who think of themselves as 'far left' go around attacking the Far Right and smashing up historic statues. Buzzfeed is basically propaganda for the Far Left. Purple haired 'feminists' would also attack a woman, either physically or verbally, if they disagreed with them.
I mean, to be fair if you say your dream job is to make movies at an interview for a short video company, I can see why that would put them off hiring you
@Long Schnozzed Tribesman Movies ≠ short skits
Long Schnozzed Tribesman Because they’re looking for people with a long term passion for their business and the work they do at their company. It would be like interviewing as a nurse and saying your dream is to be a dentist in the long term.
@@hottakebabe3842 it's so crazy that they expect that such a low level of aspirations and such a high level of commitment for an internship, though
Well movie commentary is on the uptick at UA-cam views, so...
Interviews are so boring, it's like a psychological game to me. I always check the recruiter's body language and, according to that, I tell them what they want to hear. Simple as that.
Of course I tell them the truth sometimes, in terms of knowledge and skills. But if you're looking for a job you've got to make them believe that you love their company and you want to work there forever!
I hope to work in my dream company so that I won't have to lie during the interview 😅
Found you from the FB YT LA group :) I love that you made this video! I wish i would have made previous work stories
Thanks for stopping by!
Do it!!!!
Skip to 3:57 to find out the question.
Not all heroes wear capes
Zanks you
It's good people like you exist because even when poor stragglers get sucked into these clickbait blackholes, they're still subjected to entirely too long videos of padded nonsense so the uploaded can get paid as much as possible. Oy.
^ so over dramatic, lmao. Watching 5 minutes is nothing. It’s actually interesting to see the stages she went through, since they acted as a great build up until the question came.
I love you, thank you so much.
Not being hired by Buzzfeed is a compliment.
I love this style of story time!! It really keeps me paying attention when the scenes change!
This is quite the interesting story.... and I know what you mean about watching "Why I left Buzzfeed" videos
I wanna make a "Why I left Buzzfeed" video too! lmao
ewww. imagine striving to be on a plateau
You're being dramatic, the experience you get from being paid to be creative and make content is priceless. Sure a lot of people are leaving BuzzFeed but the majority of them have been able to create incredibly successful YT channels with the knowledge they've gained. It's like YT with a professional safety net (Which owns your creativeity until you leave... but forget about that)
Yeah, I've noticed a lot of jobs don't want you to want to work at another job, they want you to like the job you have. It's unfortunate that there are internships that expect their specific dedication to be matched in everybody when there are part time and full time jobs willing to hire people no matter their passion.
"You can not be a strai-"
That was so great 😂😂👏👏
3:40 who is the other person in the shot???
Well, that's a pretty normal reason to not hire somebody. If a worker is not satisfied with what they are doing, then they won't be happy with that job and automatically do it less good than someone that's dream job it is to do said thing. Though I am young and never applied for any job yet so maybe I don't know, but from a common sense standpoint it seems logical.
It’s hard to get your dream job early on(less than 30 y/o). Most jobs you’re gonna get in life are jobs that pay the bills or jobs that provide more experience in order for you to get that “dream job”. Most people now a days do not work in the same place forever. So I think it’s pretty lame that she got rejected from buzzfeed just because of that one answer. She won’t work at buzzfeed forever, she just needs experience so that maybe she can move on later in her life and make movies, if she still wants to. Just because something isn’t your dream job doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy it either. The first job you get isn’t usually your dream job anyways. If your first job is at McDonald’s, should they fire/not hire you because it isn’t your dream job? Hell no! They should fire/not hire you if you’re not doing what you’re supposed to be doing or you’re lacking something.
actually is not a reason to hire somebody if a person wants to for sample make movies a job a place like BuzzFeed that makes video content is he reasonable step and it's sad that BuzzFeed wants to keep people trapped in a box. BuzzFeed don't pay their employees very much but literally they make crap they have real horrible standard on their employees and their employees is don't want to stay which is why so many of them are leaving.
I don't think so. She was saying that movies were a long term goal. Buzz feed wanted her to say she wants to make videos for them FOREVER. For a company to not expect someone to eventually move on is ridiculous.
Yup and at the same time that your supposed to be boasting about yourself in an interview and making you seem like the best of the best your also supposed to be propping up the company your interviewing at to make them seem like they are the best place ever to work for, job interview 101. When I owned a business if a potential candidate made it seem like we were going to be a between job en route to their dream job I didn't hire them, I'm not investing my money in someone who wasn't going to stick around when the job type I had going was what many people have as a dream job. I'd rather sink my time into training someone who knew less but actually WANTED to do the job I had. If you want to get into Hollywood movies then there is a chance buzzfeed is wasting time on you while your looking for other things to do in the movie world.
some of buzzfeed's videos are basically short movies at this point, and that kind of content gets a lot of views, her answer should have been more than acceptable. I'm kinda glad she was rejected though, buzzfeed treats interns like shit
buzzfeed feels like a cult.
Rotbart1337 yup it is a cult.
Alice Collins oof
As an HR student right now....having the recruiter tell you what mistakes you make is a potential legal case waiting to happen.
I had family photo shoot there
This is my first video I watched that is on your channel (subbing) and I feel like you are literally too smart to work at buzzfeed.
really loved how you filmed this in different locations. it made the video interesting. good job!
I don't mean to sound negative but you keep cutting before you finish the last word in every sentence and it's distracting.
Just a friendly critique :)
It can be an acceptable technique when used sparingly.
@@steamedbuns6197 shut the fuck up
Buzzfeed wants people who want to make buzzfeed videos, simple as that. The older you get you find that employers don’t care about your personal goals if it doesn’t fall in line with their business goals. If you want to make movies don’t go to buzzfeed. It’s like applying at Taco Bell when you want to make burgers.
Fascinating it woulbhave been so cool to see you on buzzfeed they totally made a mistake. So movies are a no go wamp wampp
So you can't aim to move higher in life. And all of this is for an intern position.... Just to make money off of your work.
really cool to hear some insights! Thank you! :)
Honestly you're WAY to smart to work at Buzzfeed! You definitely can do so much better :D
You can, *too!
Ikr
I really like how you film and edit your videos :)
this just popped up in my recommended and i love you and i subbed.
Interviewing is tough when it comes to large companies like that... thats what happened to me with the IFC channel. They asked me "what i wanted to do in film and television" and I said "I wanted to be a producer". What they really wanted me to say was I wanted to do marketing for television.
Never be honest with an interviewer, tell them the bullshit they want to hear.
obviously you have to say something that has to do with BuzzFeed in a BuzzFeed job application interview, so if they ask you what kind of content you want to create for the rest of your life has to be something that has to do with them not something to shows that they are just a stepping stone for you to eventually do movies. I know that maybe wasn't your intention but that's exactly what it comes off as. it's just the truth that in job interviews you have to say things that you know they will like and not be 100 percent truthful is just the way it is
Sarah I kinda agree. Questions like that come up in interviews and it's quite obvious you'd want to let the employer know you plan to stay with the company for a long time. But wtf it's not like she's gonna leave within 2 years and release the next Avatar movie. I'm still on her side for this one lmao
@@kite3278 Some companies want to hear answers like that tho so it's actually less simple.
In my opinion, you actually dodged a bullet...
You know what I find so funny about people saying .. "are you surprises" .... i think people forget that BuzzFeed puts out content based on what the consumer has found interested and viral .... its always been up to the audiences to dictate the content but .... most if not all people are entertained, by entertainment whether it is silly, dumb or serious content.... it just so happens, people like mostly silly and dumb stuff ...
With that being said .... i appreciate you taking the time to share this process with the people because, it will definitely help people who were considering it before and maybe didnt know how it would it go!
I don't think it was because of that. But recruiting managers and that kind of people know when you are not passionate about a job. If you don't like buzzfeed and buzzfeed style videos, it automatically you are not a good candidate. Especially compared to other people that live buzzfeed, have never missed a video, and dreams bout going there sincethe company's first steps. That's all. "I don't really like buzzfeed" "I find most buzzfeed videos are cringy but.. it's a job" this kind of thinking won't get you into any job honey.
That's just my opinion. Just like college application,you can't fake anything. You're passionate about anything? Good? You are not? Don't even bother. Find something you like and the pursue it!
Sotiris Maragos No of course you can fake it, she should just have answered right
I find it curious you think people don't do jobs because "it's a job"
AuroraLalune I don’t think that’s what is being said - I think what was meant is that, when compared to people who are clearly passionate about buzzfeed, you won’t get the job. Of course people do jobs because “it’s a job”, but far less so in the entertainment industry where most people go into it knowing it’s cutthroat and underpaid and actually do it for the love of it. Equally, even if not in the entertainment industry, most people still have to fake enthusiasm about their jobs even if they’re just going into it for a paycheque.
@@ediecolley9642 Oh the irony. I doubt anyone who says that they are passionate about buzzfeed truly is passionate about it. Hell. Some poor souls that had any level or respect or liking of the company got that shot to hell by buzzfeed and it's complete and utter b.s.
AuroraLalune two things here:
1) I think it is absolutely plausible to be passionate about the style of buzzfeed type videos - short form videos, designed to be informative, amusing or in some way entertaining. Even if you absolutely loathe buzzfeed, I think you can still muster some form of passion for the medium
2) I genuinely don’t see what is so horrendous about Buzzfeed as a company. Obviously it isn’t perfect, and sometimes can be seen as stifling or profiting off individuals’ creativity, the same as LITERALLY ANY ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, but by and large it is a company that gives a platform to people to create media, treats its workers decently well, and is a diverse and inclusive workplace (even if people think it’s biased against cis straight white men, that at the very least is a balance to the large majority of companies that lean the other way). I think it is totally plausible to be passionate about Buzzfeed.
"you're not allowed to be straight"
WHAT
THIS IS HETEROPHOBIA
Abiyyi Ramadhan ok I know buzzfeed is liberal af but I don’t think they would not hire someone because they’re gay because that’s horrible and stupid
It's a joke u dip
It should also be, and is, illegal under Federal Law.
Victoria Correa
Heterosexual=straight
Homosexual=gay
I can't get the image of straight white guys being cool out of my head
I can only imagine which guys you're thinking of in my head.
This is soooooo interesting! I've been thinking of trying for an internship after I graduate so it's really nice to know their process and what they are/aren't looking for. Bummer that having the goal of filmmaking was a bad thing though :/
iM GLAD I STUMBLED UPON THIS VIDEO, UR CONTENT IS AMAZING
_buzzfeed doesnt deserve this level of quality._
That’s so fn stupid it’s like if someone asks “Who is your favorite person?” And you said “My Mom” And they said “WOW NOT ME OK I GUESS I WONT BE YOUR FRIEND”
You're better off, if they can't respect your need to move up in your career, then they obviously have no intention of letting you get there on their path. In fact, I smell a fishy contract if such was their intention. But yeah, you're definitely better off.
true. From other "Why I left BuzzFeed" videos it looks like a lot of video producers have a "First look deal" which essentially means If you have a video idea for your own channel, you have to share it with BuzzFeed first. If they like it, they make you create that ideal on their channel. If they don't, you're free to upload it on yours.
Ay! Love the Garyvee stuff too (mostly). Super helpful info for social media and business in general.
Like your style. subscribed! Look forward to future work.
generally speaking when you go into a job interview and they're like "what are your future plans?" and you say "literally anything else" that's a sign that you see no longevity with the company and don't see any value being there.
MEMES. Just say MEMES
iii best answer
I.LOVE.YOUR. CONTENT. Thanks so much for making this video, its interesting insight into the inner workings of Buzzfeed. I think your work is amazing and I'm subscribed to you.
i really love the way this was filmed
all that for an internship? damn.
Thank you for making this video. :)
Im glad that you're doing this instead of buzzfeed
That's because BuzzFeed didn't want you to have dreams. They want you to work for them, not work with them. That's why BuzzFeed employees aren't allowed to do side project that isn't BuzzFeed. They just want to suck creativity out of their employees and make it as their own. People who's leaving BuzzFeed, create better content now as independent UA-cam creator because they finally can do what they want, not what BuzzFeed want.
THIS WAS UPLOADED ON MY BDAY!!!
Happy birthday!! 😀
I love your top. Where you got it and what is it's name?
My guess is that they took your response as making movies as your end goal thus you're intending on leaving BuzzFeed at some point and don't see it as a long-term goal??? Hence they thought you're not worth their time or something???
Klara xKat_K that's every company ever
I would only join buzzfeed to leave and make a video “why I left Buzzfeed”
So glad you watch Gary Vee too
Linkard love his stuff!
Seeing this video just now, damn that roast in the end :"D
Woaah you've gained so much subscribers!! I still can't believe I was one of ur 50 subscribers back then... Stay on the youtube grind!
lol
That application process seems too dang long
Good video. A like from me.
Thank god this video exist. I was in my prime BuzzFeed-hating phase so this video was recommended to me, and that's how I was introduced to your content.
The best advice I ever got while interviewing for jobs in LA is that no company wants a candidate who views the position as a “stepping stone” to something else. They want to hear that you plan on staying with the company (even though you probably do want to move on eventually). If they hear that you view the position as a path to something bigger, they won’t hire you.
Glad you didn’t get in. You have too much talent to work there.
R u sure you applied for job in BuzzFeed bcz may be even NASA'S application process is not that complicated 🤔🤔
At first I thought this was a buzzfeed video and I was like wtf why on earth would buzzfeed upload this ? But then I realized it was a different channel haha good video
Scrolling threw my home page seeing this I was like dang but why would u even want to?
Lol @4:52 to @4:58 you can see people doing a photo shoot
😂😂
This video actually made me laugh 😂
Sorry you didn’t get the job, but eh maybe you dodged a bullet there. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What is the twitter account that you followed for these applications?
Got this on recommendation, her channel is really "the chosen one" again after her latest videos.
At least she's more charismatic than any Buzzfeed employee ツ
ugh no you just like her politics more
Even if you don’t like the buzzfeed employees it’s hard to deny that they are pretty charismatic
Buzzfeed employers are as charismatic and entertaining as cockroach. It's always intresting to see them die.
Safiya is pretty charismatic, she's a former buzzfeed employee, I'm glad she left that buzzfeed
she drones in the same monotone as them.
she actually looks lesbian too. and she looks like some indistinguishable race.
woulda fit right in.
