If the applicant is this lazy, I wouldn't want him/her on the job.

Anyone this stupid to give Alexa all your personal info is too stupid to hire.

Nah, you already have given that much away without even using a personal assistant.

I had to apply for two security jobs through the computer. I think I made a couple of errors and won’t get those jobs.

I miss the days when I could just dress presentably and hand in a resume to the secretary and hope for the best.

Like it or not, we are entering a brave new world in which everybody has an online profile that can be accessed by others. For example, with a push of a button, I can obtain my credit score on the Credit Karma app (both from Equifax and Transunion). I downloaded this only to see what information everybody else had on me.

In my company, we have already automated much of the hiring process. On-boarding is almost 100% automated, with network log-ons, email addresses, etc., auto-created and devices are configured and sent to the employee the day of hire.

Low skill jobs like working at fast food or retail can definitely be automated as background checks and credit checks can be conducted behind the scenes in seconds and give the applicant a thumbs up within just a few minutes.

I remember applying for me first real job (at a supermarket) back in the late 1970s. I was 16 years old. It involved several trips to the store, filling out various carbon-copy forms, speaking to at least three managers and so on. I had to wait six weeks to find out whether I had a job or not and two weeks later (two months total), I was finally filling my first bag of groceries. Even getting a time card to punch was a bit of a hassle on my first day. Had to go to the upstairs office and wait about a half hour for the secretary to type one up for me.

Those days are gone forever.

Is there any way to spoof Jerry Nadler or Jim Acosta on Alexa? Cause if there is this could be a whole lotta fun!
