Asked her the standard questions (half of which she had to turn to her mom before answering).
These were not hard questions and as she was just out of college and had a job while in college, the main question which she looked to mom for a clue as to how to answer - "what sort of work did you do there?" (She noted she was an proofreader for inter-office communiques.)
Simple question, IMO, for someone wanting to start as a tech writer.
Pretty sure our HR gave her the rejection notice before she left the property.

I cannot fathom even asking a parent to come to a job interview. Hell, I never wanted to live in the same city as an adult, where my folks could come on a job interview with me. And they'd be super insulted if, after all the money they spent on my upbringing, I still weren't ready for the workforce by the age of 21. Though I confess that they did have to drive me around to job interviews before I was old enough to get a drivers license and then sometimes drove me to/from work. We lived too far from town to bike.

Hard to blame her, I wouldn’t know how to spin “stripper” either. She was just looking to her mom to advise from her own experience.

Here is a tweet from yesterday trying to insinuate that Tucker Carlson sent her a handwritten note advocating gun control. And of course Carlson says this is "moronic". Also according to the Gateway Pundit, a company XRVision confirmed that the text was most likely AI generated

“In a statement to the blog, Carlson appeared to believe the conspiratorial allegation without question before noting his stanch support for gun rights.
“Ha! Seriously? I’m carrying a gun right now, as I always do. There are few things I hate more than the Democratic Party’s attempt to disarm the American population. That’s what dictatorships do,” Carlson said. “People actually think I sent a handwritten letter to Kamala Harris endorsing gun confiscation? That’s moronic.”
But Carlson did not stop there. Carlson responded further by doing exactly what conservatives claimed Harris did without evidence: posted a fake letter to X.”

Serious question. Why did you even proceed with an interview? Bring your parent to an interview even as a high school kid trying to work at McDonalds tells me enough.

Where in the insinuation it is Tucker Carlson?? Simply because the kid’s name is Tucker? If so you know that is a complete stretch simply trying to get clicks by whoever claimed it was that insinuation.

Read what KK wrote in response. "While we may not agree on every issue" pretty clearly insinuates that it was Carlson, imo.

The Tucker/not Tucker Carlson thing is somewhat amusing, but a distraction.
The central issue of this campaign is socialism/communism.
Meet Bharat Ramamurti. He has never run a business, nor has he ever worked for one.
Yet he’s the top economic adviser for the Kamala Harris campaign, and a not-so-covert socialist ideologue who intends to cripple the American economy through ruthlessly “progressive” taxation.
He may have first appeared on your radar Wednesday afternoon after his appearance on CNBC, during which he advocated for the campaign’s 25 percent unrealized gains tax proposal. The full clip is worth your time:
The Kamala Harris plan to tax 'unrealized gains' would crash the American economy Jordan Schachtel · Aug 21 The Kamala Harris plan to tax 'unrealized gains' would crash the American economy
This week, the Kamala Harris campaign unsurprisingly endorsed the Biden-Harris administration’s fiscal year 2025 budget, which stands to increase taxes by at least $5 trillion over the next decade. Read full story
But Mr Ramamurti has long been operating within the power centers of the Democratic Party.
A Harvard and Yale Law School graduate, Ramamurti has never run a business nor held a corporate job. Nonetheless, he has plenty of “ideas” for how to manage the American economy.
Before joining the Biden Administration as Deputy Director of the National Economic Council, he was Senator Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) senior counsel on economic policy for eight years. He has since left the Biden Administration for the Harris campaign.
Ramamurti’s commitment to progressivism (socialism) repeatedly revealed itself during his tenure with Senator Warren, when he spearheaded the senator’s signature proposal for a wealth tax, co-sponsored by some of Warren’s far-left colleagues.
The wealth tax sought to impose an annual tax on the wealth of individuals or families with “net assets” over $50 million. The wealth tax starts at 2 percent annually and rises to 6 percent for those with “net assets” over $1 billion. In short, it is a plan to “eat the rich” and have the government seize the wealth (again, on an annual basis) of people determined by the government to have done too well. Of course, these proposed taxes would come in addition to the taxes these individuals and families are already paying. It reveals a deeply embedded, committed socialist outlook on economics and individual rights, driven into Ramamurti during his time at Harvard and Yale, and defined by the notion that government can act as a fairer and more equitable distributor of wealth than free markets. Successful Americans must be punished for creating jobs and bringing value to society, Ramamurti argued, so it was time to shake them down and have the government redistribute the proceeds.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

If Kamala were to win, God forbid and got this unrealized gains tax passed, the same exact thing would happen here as did France when they tried the “eat the rich” thing with something like a 90% tax rate on the wealthy.
They simply packed up and left and took all their money with them. France quickly rescinded that after they realized what a disaster it was.

Kalama's Tax Proposals Are Horrifying - Peak Prosperity
At what line do we say someone's forced labor crosses over from 'voluntary' to being a slave? Certainly that happens at 100% of one's labor. I would submit that's still true at 99%, and so now the argument is where exactly is that line?

Two reasons, a. First time we saw it and thought it would be entertaining/good learning experience [for us] and, b. Company had a policy, for legal reasons associated with perceived discriminati on, to ask a specific set of questions to all candidates regardless of initial impressions (demographics, clothing, smell, visible tattoos, body junk jewelry on the face, etc).
Policy changed to only interviewers and candidate. Company soon had to deal with legal ramifications of that move because, as you might guessed, the young lady i noted wasn’t the first…
