Remember kids, HR is not your friend.
While the term “friend” may not precisely encapsulate the nature of our relationship, I am a member of Adobe’s Human Resources team. We strive to assist employees with work-related issues and provide legal protection when necessary. Our organizational culture fosters a positive relationship with employees and are more like a family than a friendship.
are more like a family
That’s also in the top ten red flags of management-speak. It’s also said to never be in a workplace position with family, and there’s a reason for that.
Was about to say, the above person’s comment sounds like pure HR/management speak, even got all the buzzwords…
Like most people know HR’s job is to keep the company out of legal trouble personnel-wise, whether that be to the people’s benefit or not - they don’t need to pretend they’re a bleeding heart looking after the employees, because they’d stab them in the back all the same.
Recruiter: Why is there a gap in your resume?
Me: Why has this position been hiring every month?
“I want to branch out and gain new experiences to broaden my skillset.” is the BS line I usually go with when I’m interviewing for a job outside my current specialty. Which has been every job I’ve interviewed for. Since my organization has rotation programs, it’s a well-accepted reason. Especially when the actual reason was “I’m fleeing a hostile takeover of my last department.” or “I gotta get the fuck out of Florida, it’s 2017.”

I’m looking to expand my network, and build synergies with new colleagues. I want to maximize our KPIs
How am I doing with the canned bullshit rhetoric? Did I get the job?
You’re getting good. Now you just need to sing this song in the interview.
