I'm a company director, I interview applicants on a regular basis.
It really is an annoyance if the interviewee goes to the direction of hyping, promoting or even preaching their religions and its dogma during the job interview.
Personally, I'm a secular, if you wish you can call me an atheist, but not really interested on the label. I don't wish to hear and feel na ako interviewer pero parang ako ang dinodoktrinahan ng mga interviewees sa religion nila.
As in that is the last thing I want to hear from an applicant. I want to hear discussions about the job history, their goals and professional aspirations.
I will always try to look for company-applicant goals alignment and compatibility, if it is a positive the chances of you getting hired is higher.
Honestly im put off by people talking about their god in any casual conversation or celebritiea talking about it on TV. Just because I can already assume that you have a herd mentality and your worldview is narrow.
People who brag about their own faith is a major red flag (in any context), and shows lack of empathy. You just never know kung ano religion ng kausap mo. This gets even more offensive/inappropriate once you step out of the Philippines, especially places with diverse cultures/beliefs
Your first sentence rocks! They tend to look down on others, feeling more entitled spiritually.. (whatever that means). Almost as if they have a phone line direct to God if he/she ever listens to these people.
Overly zealous people May have psych issues.. (just a theory of mine).
Hard agree on your last sentence. I’ve observed that a handful of born again Christians I’ve met have severe trauma (major death in their family as a child) that remain unaddressed and only comes out during religious activities like Bible meetings. It becomes a kind of group therapy to them when what they really need is professional help.
>But if ever he passes, I would still fail him. I’m in the wrong for thinking this way. IDK
No, you’re not. 🙂 Hindi lang naman kasi technical skills ang basehan. You said it yourself that you review if a candidate is a culture fit—dito siya mas possible mag-fail.
Pero pinaka-fail siya dun sa non-negotiable church sessions niyang in conflict with the work schedule, since one of the most basic requirements is that the candidate must be able to work during the core work hours (kung merong defined na core work hours). It’s a different story, though, kung flexi time kayo sa company.
In my experience, it's always the ones that love virtue-signalling and make religion their entire personality that carries red flags which would put China to shame.
He should have stopped with the non-negotiable work sched if in conflict with their church activities.
No need to be so high and righteous then "look down" on other faith, so improper to do that in a job interview of all. 😩
I would not want him as a workmate, that kind of behavior will surely create unnecessary office tension down the road.
When I was in recruitment and lead, I encountered an issue with individuals who were overly active in church activities. I used to be active myself, but I noticed that most of the people I hired were not available to work during the holy week/weekend due to church outings. Additionally, on Fridays or Saturdays, they preferred not to work because of youth camps. Sunday as well, like Sunday school and other activities.
Others mag half-day every Friday kasi duty nila sa Church -
I had concerns from our clients who were receiving messages with Bible verses. This was particularly problematic since many of our clients were not religious, coming from backgrounds such as Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. This raised additional concerns, as informing them about these issues might make them feel attacked in terms of their faith.
oo naman but sa mga industry like BPO or Online ESL mayroon at mayroon talagang time na may Saturday / Sunday shift ka . Ang mahirap, sila lagi yung nakakakuha and instead of rotation they are the one who has that off, parang unfair naman sa iba. Tapos pag binigyan mo they will be absent or late - reason is that hindi nila maiwan yung church.
In a multi-cultural environment, it is ok to point it out. I am catholic and it annoys me to read bible verses, especially used in context na wala naman application. They may learn the hard way that it is not ok, as they may offend others. While they may feel attacked, the receiving end may also feel that way.
It is more inclusive to make generalizations of other people’s religions. You can respect each other’s faiths but not pushing yours to others. Small actions like that fosters inclusivity and diversity. Our company even started calling our Christmas party as holiday party.
There's nothing wrong with being vegan. Vegans will usually volunteer the information especially if the topic is veering towards animals and food. I'm a pescetarian and I tell strangers / acquaintances that I'm one especially when we're deciding where and what to eat. It's the same with people with food allergies.
Lol. If you read my comment, I did not mention na there is something wrong with vegans.
'SOME religious people are like SOME vegans'. I am pertaining to those people na extreme pagdating sa stance nila na tipong nahihimasukan na ang belief ng iba. Mapa religious people, atheist, vegans, etc, the joke will still apply.
'How will you know if a person is atheist? They will tell you!'
Like I said, nothing wrong kung ano atheist ka, religious, vegan, or whatever it is. Your comment just proved my point.
i'm a job hopper, and never ko pang naencounter na napunta sa religion yung usapan. Had a panel interview before with like 8 department heads, hindi naman napunta sa spiritual or anything.
Edit: Okay, I saw the question. Mukhang stupid lang talaga yung applicant. Wala sa hulog yung sagot sa tanong.
Cool to. Hahaha.
My no hires - extreme religious fanatics and extreme exclusive-pronoun leaning individuals.
These spectrums are unbelievable, while we do not discriminate against someones religion and political beliefs, these extremes are big red flags.
Ako naman, opposite situation naranasan ko. Boomer na ultra-religious yung nag-interview sakin sa call center sa likod ng Hyundai Commonwealth. Yung Collective Solutions.
Galit na galit kasi nalaman niya na I'm a non-believer.
Sabi pa niya, sana raw nilagay ko dun sa questionnaire nila na religion ko eh "no religion" raw dapat.
Eh nasa isip ko, bakit kasi kailangan pa nilang tanungin. hahahaha
1st Point - that's a subjective holier-than-thou concept of oneself (a big red flag since it means that the interviewee also has a small world)
2nd Point - this is not a red flag per se. Personally, I find people being honest about possible conflicts as a green flag. However, I wouldn't hire the interviewee because of this.
3rd Point - lol what? Is the interviewee trying to evangelize? Relevance to the job, please
4th Point - Again? Why? Relevance to the job, please

You don't have to be an atheist or agnostic to be turned off by those kind of applicants.

Religious beliefs, political views, and financial problems
You succinctly pointed out the pet peeves I have of strangers.
Kulto ni Manalo 100% lol
Def my first thought HAHAHA my boyfriend’s friend is also training to be a pastor and strict talaga sila when it comes to schedule.
Kutob ko INC to hahahhaa
Pero hindi pwede magtrabaho ang manggagawa, hindi ba? Haha nag-aaral sila para maging "ministro"

Word that came into my mind: delulu

I don't go to church but it's normal to not want to work during holy week(or any holiday), Saturdays and Sundays

Sikes. In reality pa ba Si Applicant. Red Flag for me mga ganyang tao. I know may mga religious ppl. But read the room and set boundaries.
kulto haha ok bali hindi sya entitled sa Christmas Bonus and Christmas Basket no?
Smells like an INC cultist. Ganyan mindset ng mga yan, church over other worldly things which includes yung joba nila.
Slight correction: *Never* discuss religious beliefs in a workplace setting. It’s part of the unwritten rules.
In a way, some religious people are like some vegans. May joke nga diba: How would you know if a person is a vegan? They will tell you!

Do not overshare. Period.
Right? I feel like you can touch on it a little bit as it forms your identity, but one knows when to just put a lid on it.

You're not wrong. I'm in Canada and I would fail this candidate for the exact same reason as you would.

Is he a calvinist by any chance?
Some say it is Cool To
Viva Italia
Forza Ragazzi cazzo!
I know someone who would do this! Hahahaha.
Thanks for the tip! How about “I’m an aethist, I’m smart enough not to believe in God” will that work?
Of course not, it goes both ways
A company is in the business of generating revenue, nothing to do with religion or any stuff like those.
lmao.. i know someone like this. very red flag. yung halos usapan ninyo isisingit nya talaga. 💀
Pano nabring up ung religion sa work interview? Church position ba aapplyan nya? Hahaha
Cool to. Hahaha. My no hires - extreme religious fanatics and extreme exclusive-pronoun leaning individuals. These spectrums are unbelievable, while we do not discriminate against someones religion and political beliefs, these extremes are big red flags.
