General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Turns out "tell me about yourself" doesn't mean tell them where you were born and what your hobbies are ๐Ÿ˜…

Well, fuck me I guess.

Right? Is it so hard to just ask "what are your relevant skills and what experience do you have"? Why be so general and vague? I don't get all the fakeness, I really don't, especially in jobs like retail. Why the need for long forms and multiple choice questions and all the other nonsense.

Interviews only test how good you are at interviews, not how good you are at the job.
