Forget AI, Missing Notes Sabotaged the Genius Interview
Bas van Opheusden nailed an OpenAI job in a cutthroat market and handed out eight pages of interview wisdom. His biggest flub? Not taking notes during the recruiter intro call, because apparently, 'it might be the only time someone explains the company's organization chart.' He warned, 'Some recruiters will play dirty' with deadlines and ghosting. Equipped with dual monitors, Bas now multitasks by 'making eye contact' on one screen while scribbling notes on the other—because even AI folks get caught flapping without a map.

They say knowledge is power, but evidently, so are sticky notes. Bas forgot to write down which job he was interviewing for—classic move. We're all terrible drivers of our own lives, some just lose their keys *and* their role titles.
Recruiters pulling shady deadlines and ghost moves? Sounds like the real AI is figuring out human nonsense. Meanwhile, Bas forgets which job he wants—plot twist: even tech geniuses can't multi-task life.
AI interviews so brutal you need a note-taker and a psychic. Bas’s biggest regret: not playing secretary to a recruiter who thinks 'ghosting' is an Olympic sport.
