Had an interview at an engineering firm...

I'm just a high test guy because I dont rub my dick to porn. I lift clean and eat cleaner. BACK OFF

>one the guys remarked "spending too much time at the gym huh?!" and they all laughed.

That's pretty unprofessional, and kind of a red flag for how the company operates. Interviews go both ways. Approach an interview as if you're seeing if THEY are a good fit for you as well. You dodged a bullet.

That's some Donald draper leavel of corporate interaction

This. Who else is /fitlit/ here?

Yeah lifting helps but not if you're stupid, faggot. It's not cause you're swole you didn't get the job

I have a list of books that I have to read
> yes I took it from /sig/ it still counts

I've seen unfit people shit on muscular ppl for no reason. I think they see anyone who looks decent as being part of frat culture. But most of the time it will work to your favor.

Reading is slowly becoming my main hobby, however it certainly doesn't make you smarter. It improves your vocabulary, but not in a functional way particularly.

When you're asked questions you don't know the answer to, say "I'm not quite sure what the answer is, but maybe [your rational here]."

They're trying to figure out how you solve problems that aren't textbook or are obscure.

Now don't ever blame your physique ever again.

This honestly
Why would you want to work with jealous faggots?

this is very true he was jelly af

They're probably UGLY DYELS. Go interview at another engineering company

This is one of the perks of being asian and swole, they think you are smart but also intimidating as fuck

Lifting helps you out more in the business sector.

Well, don't read only fiction

Yeah for business jobs where it is optimal to look good. Who gives a fuck what you look like in STEM? They want your intelligence, not your looks or charm.

...

Right here is your problem "they were intricacies"... Who the fuck is they? You're just stupid.

They wouldn't have chosen you even if you knew the answer. They were clearly numales scared of you entering their territory. You're better off not in such an anti-fitness and insecure environment. On to the next one.

this

this.
>He is big so he must be dumb!
>Otherwise I'd feel really insecure.
>And I'm too manly to feel insecure, so he must be dumb.

Work at networking company with pajeets that smell like curry.
>walking out for lunch when I hear one of them say something to another.
>"He probably over compensates lifting for his small dick"
Get fit shamed all the time

are they skinnyfat manlets?

Lifting makes one smarter. Jordan Peterson said so.

What do you do to cope with your small dick tho?

Roid rage. Fuck off unemployed loser.Guess what i have that you don't? A career tat pays well. Faggot

Bullshit. OP was stupid, plain and simple. It's not that he needs to work harder, it's that ye still has to work

Just skinny guys with fake gold watch and shitty cologne

>Just skinny guys with fake gold watch and shitty cologne
And your crying in your pillow at night that they rejected you,aren't you faggot? It's ok to say yes. You're a little bitch.

>this is very true he was jelly af
no, he was just disgusted by you autistic faggots who think you are special. The entire planet is tired of you sad fucks. It's time to start killing you assholes at every fucking turn. Fuck off you scumbag

I agree with you OP. I got the same thing. It's just beta rage. I graduated top of my undergrad AND top of my master's program. Countless academic awards, even got a co-authorship on a paper. I roid too though and some betas at a finance firm said the same thing. "We've decided to go with someone with more experience." Lol, k. Just keep your head held high. Go work for the government instead. That's what I did. Normies don't get it.

>Normies don't get it.
No, you just don't get it.You never will

pajeets are cucks

chadjeets who play sports are cool tho

lol coping incel

let the gymcels gymcel

i will never work for government but i appreciate your POV

Nah it's more like sjw type of bitching. I can't eat meat in the break room cause it affends their religion. Human resources is cuck for sjw. I live in the Mecca of sjw's.

You don't belong with "normies" none of you do. You are all disgusting losers who should be put away from other normal people. You are disgusting and abrasive and will probably end up getting arrested for domestic violence against your boyfriends. Faggots

lifting helps your life.
We never said anything about career...
although to be honest you basically got shit tested.
The only way to answer was to switch the topic to your interest ("show you're passionate" route : WAHWAHWAH i used to be really fat but i persevered etcetc) or make a funny comment where the shame is somewhat sent back (Like make a "retard face" to excuse your ignorance, showing that you got it)

Based on other posts that I'm not autistic to collect for this response, I'd say the company gets more applicants they need and they've started asking whacky questions as some way to filter through applicants. There will be some few applicants who have researched the company in detail and have been evil mastermind plotting their career at this specific company since they were 15 years old. Those people are going to make it through the interview. Someone like that got the job. That would be my guess.

Without you naming the company it's hard to tell but maybe you have an idea if they are a desired employer. If they're not then that guy was just unprofessional.

*not autistic ENOUGH...

>not researching a company in detail before the interview

you weren't right for the job.

kill yourself

Veeky Forums and music are the only reasons I have a large vocabulary, I haven't read a novel in years but I still have a vocabulary that beats most of Veeky Forums.

>They want your intelligence, not your looks or charm.
In science charm can be pretty important, research is the biggest thing when applying to grad schools but after that they want someone who can get along with everyone and be able to express their views.

A lot of interviews for technical firms aren't expecting you to get the answers exactly right, they want to see your line of thinking, how you operate under pressure, and whether or not you'll be a good fit for the company.

Better luck next time.

You mean just being able to get through an interview without pissing anyone off? Im pretty sure most people have "charm" if thats what you are talking about.

OP dun set off the lunk alarm

No getting into a good PHD program in research science if not a minority or woman depends a lot on if you are going to be a good colleague.
I've known many men to get into some of the best programs of their field due to their charisma.
Protip: You don't rely on the interview. You contact the advisor through email and somehow meet them irl before.

Roid Rage!!!!

So basically what I just said? Being good at kissing ass? Im pretty sure most people got that down.

I can see you're not smart enough to be anything in life.
Being able to express ideas and being a "people person" is far more than just kissing ass.
Many scientists are gruff but are still the type of people you naturally want to please.

They could smell the fear and pounced on it, if you look fit you gotta have your shit straight in this field or else you gotta hide your power level.

They ask those "impossible" questions because they want you to say something along the lines of, "Don't know, point me to the manuals and I can figure it out." If you flop around just because you don't know something then they think that they're going to have to babysit you until you get your shit straight.

Thats real cute. Especially how you think you can analyze my life. But you are giving these college students too much credit. Maybe it was just the chemistry major students but they all fake as fuck. I would catch them talking shit a lot behind each others backs and act genuine or have "charisma" in front of other people. If you don't think they aren't kissing ass and you also think just being a "people person" is tough, then I just don't know what to say to you. I felt like i was weird for being the only one not being as fake as they were.

I'm not talking about undergrads, most of them don't make it.
I'm talking about people who actually have both the knowledge and charisma to make it.
And yes, most undergrads are still kids and it really isn't their fault, they just try to be nice and suck up to profs and advisors and have no idea how they can actually connect with people.
Back in undergrad when kids would be sucking up to our main older prof on conference trips I would just work hard and by the end of the day chill with him in his room talking shit and playing cards.

I did several different science majors as an undergrad so I'm lucky enough to have a good idea on each major.
Physics are exactly what you would expect (wasn't a major but had to take a lot of classes), chemistry had a few really chill people (some Veeky Forums too) but for the most part spergy kids that wanted to impress their profs.
Biology is filled with people who don't actually have passion for the content, they memorize flashcards and want to look at animals/plants without actually working. Still chill people.
Geology is filled with friendly people but most are deficient in math.
Guys were insecure when others knew math in it.

...

I was trying to say if fake people can get into grad school or a masters program, then expressing ideas and having "charisma" isn't that tough.

At this point, I have no idea what you are getting on about. But I stated my opinion and you yours.

Fuck every engineering interview I've been to I've wanted to punch them in the face for saying dumb shit like that.

Learn to laugh at yourself, nigger.

>Like make a "retard face" to excuse your ignorance, showing that you got it
lol what the fuck are you talking about?

Believe it or not, most firms (and all big firms) expect you to do your research and be very familiar with them and their work.

I'm only telling this so you don't fuck up your next interview, as it seems you learned absolutely nothing from this one so far.

>Then expressing ideas and having "charisma" isn't that tough.
Not that user, but it seems to be a pretty big problem for you. In all honesty you should have known the answers to the questions. Or given them a suitable answer.maybe you do need to put the weights down and pick up the books.

>fit shaming

I'm literally shaking now. How can we stop those shitlords?

damn, you are dumb as fuck

Don't listen to these guys OP. The interviewers obviously spend 90% of their waking lives in a feminized workplace, hence the faggoty remark. You don't want to work there.

Next time you're going for 1RM, picture their fucking faggot faces.

>Didn't know a couple of questions they asked
That's the problem, not the lifting.

GHHAHAHAHHAHA you were pretty much rekt my dude HUH?

You can't

"who the fuck is they"
You stupid cunt.

no. just fyi, the big bodybuilders ruin the mood by bringing their own food and constantly eating during the day.

its not personal, but whenever we get such guys in the application process im rejecting them.

you are likely a complete autist, and they would never have hired you anyway.

Sure thing, buddy.

>Called back yesterday after waiting two weeks and they said they decided to go another way.

Obviously. Why the fuck do people do this? Like they somehow made a mistake and forgot to tell you you got the job?

Dumbfuck.

>triggered that someone doesnt go out for expensive food every fuckin day
Speaking of autism..

It could be your physique that biased their opinion, could be the fact you didn't know the answers. Could be both.

I work at a pharmacy (technician) behind the counter so not a pharmacist but even with my low tier job I notice people walking up to the counter with a questionable look on their face. It usually fades after I give them the info + advice and their look changes to a smile.

I'm not even that big but I look like a buff chad Jokes on them because I'm an introverted dude who (had) an insecurity complex.

This guy gets it. It's your physical appearance that was the problem.
These tech companies were started and are run by people who were bullied by muscular jocks in school. They look at you and automatically are reminded of a time when they were miserable and unhappiness was an everyday thing for them.
It doesn't matter that you have a degree to them, they perceive you as a bully and they don't want you there,whether you are or not. Perception is eveything in a job interview. You looked a certain way to them so you were given a bullshit question and failed because it caught you off guard. Same thing used to happen to me alot when I was "jacked". It made m e angry then depressed. I cut down weight and now I look fit, not like I roid. Not that it matters anymore, I own my business now anyways.

I even got that perception in my dating life. It sucks and it shouldn't matter but unfortunately it does.

Or he couldn't answer their questions, wasn't prepared for the interview, and didn't get the job.

If OP had a flawless interview, you guys crying about discrimination might have a valid point. However, OP himself has presented a very clear reason why he should not be hired that has absolutely nothing to do with his physique.

>These tech companies were started and are run by people who were bullied by muscular jocks in school.
Real life isnt a fucking teen movie dumbass

Maybe

This guy is right:

>however it certainly doesn't make you smarter
That's where you're wrong. Try reading books that aren't for children.

OP might be dumb but you are definitely dumber.

>
>Roid Rage!!!!
lmao @ op

Asian.
Intimidating.
Only intimidating Asian I've ever seen is Godzilla.
Even that is questionable

Lifting had nothing to do with that. You fucked up here.

Is this a first-job interview? What's your experience? Did you dress like a faggot retard in tight shirts to an interview to show off your muscles, or did you dress like someone who wants a fucking job?

Also, Civil?

Or he can just keep interviewing until he is in front of the 6 women in STEM. Chances are it'll be the first time she has smelled testosterone since college

Could have replied something childish just to have a comeback. While that would be autistic in most situations, to a pajeet, it would have been intimidating

The tech companies started without state funding were made by jocks. The tech companies made by one certain nepotic bipolar race from the middleeast were made by the state.

>They were intricacies involving the operations at the company. Nothing I could know offhand. You probably don't even have a degree you complete waste

Most companies have an employee handbook published somewhere on their website. If they don't, then you should just go lift away the rage, since you're so good at lifting and all that

Do you work at buzzfeed?

OP you should have just laughed along with them and said something along the lines of " yeah, well I mean, it's just like everything else you know? School, work, learning. As long as you have the self motivation, determination and consistency it is almost impossible not to succeed. Amirite? "
Bosses love that type of attitude. Plus you integrate the fact that you got an education with the work ethic of work g out. Tie the two together

This happened.
