00:00Hello friends, yeah, welcome to Humanology 2228. Happy Thursday. Happy Thursday morning.
00:12Yeah, well, it's my fourth day of having no job. Of course, I'm applying to new jobs.
00:20Yeah, I already have. So it's kind of a waiting game, right? But yeah, more on that later.
00:27Yeah, let's do some stretching, huh? Yeah. But it's not like I have to just sit there and wait. No.
00:37While I'm waiting for new job interviews, yeah, I can do stuff, right? Something constructive, educational.
00:44Sure.
00:47Okay. So it's like being between jobs. It's kind of like basically having a vacation. Okay. Let's enjoy it.
00:56Yeah, let's be used to time wisely.

02:44Oh.
02:49Oh.
02:50Oh.
02:51Oh.
03:24Oh, yeah.
04:30So, when it comes to like old movies, I really like the sound effect, like kind of cartoonish, funky sound effect in science fiction.
04:54And science fiction, also the Westerns, like in the Westerns, Spaghetti Westerns especially, like the dollar series, and by Sergio Leone and Django, Sergio, Corbucci.
05:13Yeah, the gun sound, that's not realistic, but it's more like cartoonish.
05:20Yeah, it's very funny sounds back in the days.
05:32I really like that, okay?
05:34Very cartoonish sound effects.
05:36Yeah.
05:37Yeah.
05:38Real gun sounds like pop, pop is nothing fancy really, like fireworks basically, okay?
05:43Yeah.
05:44Well, I was in the U.S. Army, so yeah, with guns.
05:50Yeah, with guns, okay, so yeah, but these days I don't like, I do not like guns.
05:58I like martial arts instead, okay?
06:00It's better exercise.
06:01Guns is not exercise at all.
06:03Yeah.
06:04Martial arts, exercise.
06:05Yeah.
06:06It's all I say for martial arts, okay?
06:19Yeah.
06:22Okay.
06:26Okay.
06:35Kuya!
06:56Good.
07:03Good.
07:19Good.
07:21Good.

09:16All right, finish the exercise.
09:24Okay.
09:26Okay, good.
09:35Five minutes.
09:36Five minutes, thank you.
09:38Yeah, nice.
09:44Okay.
09:54Okay.
09:56Okay.
09:58Okay.
10:00Okay.
10:02Okay.
10:04Okay.
10:06Okay.
10:08Okay.
10:10Okay.
10:12Okay.
10:14Okay.
10:16Okay.
10:22Okay.
10:24Okay.
10:26Okay.
10:28Okay.
10:30Okay.
10:40Okay.
10:42Okay.
10:44Okay.
10:46Okay.
10:48Okay.
10:50Okay.
10:52Okay.
10:54Okay.
10:56Okay.
10:58Okay.
11:00Okay.
11:02Okay.
11:04Okay.
11:06Okay.
11:08Okay.
11:10Okay.
11:20Okay.
11:22Okay.
11:24Okay.
18:26Good hairstyle, good attire, everything.
18:29Good hairstyle, everything.
18:32And the second guy, not as good looking.
18:37Maybe some makeup artists involved to look not as presentable.
18:45Lady style, same way. Good looking lady and not so good looking lady, okay?
18:51The job qualification, same level.
18:57Same level of degree, like educational level or job experience level, similar age.
19:05So they want to experiment, given the same job qualification,
19:14good looking guy, not so good looking guy and good looking lady, not so good looking lady,
19:21who get the job after interview, in person interview.
19:27Okay?
19:29So, μ΄μμ΄λ©΄ μ£Όν μΉλ§ means if price is the same, I would rather pick red dress.
19:36So you get the idea, right?
19:39So the good looking guy and good looking lady, they got the job.
19:43Of course, there's fake interview. I mean, fake job applicants, but interviews, they are real interviews, okay?
19:49Just fake job applicants. After that, they revealed, yeah, it was all fake.
19:54Employers, yeah, probably they were disappointed.
19:58Okay?
19:59Let me blow my nose. Okay, so.
20:05Okay.
20:06I'll see you in the next one.
20:07I didn't know you guys.
20:08Okay.
20:09Okay.
20:10Okay.
20:11Okay.
20:12Okay.
20:13Okay, so.
20:14Okay, let's go.
20:15Okay.
20:17Okay.
20:18So, let's go.
20:19Okay, so let's go.
20:20Okay, so let's go ahead.
20:21Okay, so let's go.
20:27Okay, so let's go.
21:02So after that experiment, these experimenters, they're basically scientists, okay, and who study
21:16like human behavior, maybe they're in business school, psychological collaboration, I don't
21:22know, okay, but after that experiment, yeah, they came out clean to the potential employers,
21:28hey, sorry for deceiving you like this, but I'm not sure if they pay them for their time,
21:35I don't know, okay, and then they interviewed the employers, interviewers, they interviewed,
21:41the scientists interviewed experimenters, they interviewed the interviewers afterwards.
21:46So let me paraphrase, let me dramatize a little bit, commodize a little bit, okay.
21:58Let's do some acting, okay, action.
21:59Okay, so employers, interviewers, what was that about?
22:09Well, you know, I'll be open and honest with you, like we employers, we want to have some
22:16fun, you know, they're kind of honest about it, meaning, is it a discrimination based on
22:29appearance?
22:30I mean, it can be seen that way, but if you think about it a little bit deeper, it's more
22:41than that, there's more to it, okay?
22:48Like, to maintain good looks, you have to do, that involves a lot of labor, work, extra work,
22:56and also discipline, healthy diet, I mean, sugar and fat, they taste great, like cheese, oil,
23:11they're like lubricant for food, so that you, it just get inside the mouth very smoothly,
23:19and oil, like lubricant in the engine oil, okay, so,
23:22it just makes things easier to swallow, it's tasty, sugar, same way, do I crave for sugar
23:36sometimes?
23:37I do, but I don't do it, why?
23:40If I eat refined sugar, I get pimples on my face, oh, I don't want that, also cavity of
23:49my teeth, I don't want that either.
23:52It takes discipline, strength, diligence, to refrain from sugar and oil, would they taste good?
24:07Okay?
24:12Yeah.
24:12Diet, healthy diet, okay?
24:15And health, important.
24:19We can function when in job setting or school setting, when we are healthy.
24:26Healthy diet, okay?
24:27Healthy diet, also exercise, physical discipline, diligence, exercise, also health.
24:37So, good looks, it means you are, if you're looking good, it means you are healthy, you are
24:41disciplined, you exercise, you practice, healthy exercise, healthy diet, regular exercise.
24:50So, it says something about your personality, your discipline level, your diligence, though
24:57you look good, okay?
25:00So, then, is it relevant for job qualification or job candidate?
25:08Absolutely.
25:09Okay, so it's not a discrimination, it's part of the job qualification.
25:21Okay, we can see it that way, okay?
25:25Five minutes break, vocal rest, okay?
25:28Good.
25:30Maybe some more water.
25:31Yeah, so, yeah, exercise and diet, okay?
25:38Yep, five minutes, thank you.
25:39Okay.
26:04Okay.
28:08Like, what's the average wait time between job application and interview?
28:13They say typically one to two weeks.
28:16That makes sense because companies, they do batch processing.
28:20Okay, so they post online job opening and then they wait for job applicants to apply.
28:29They wait for one to two weeks to accumulate enough pool of job applicants so that they do interview in the certain day, one candidate after another candidate.
28:43Maybe each candidate, what's the average interview time?
28:50Let me grab myself.
28:51You know what?
28:53I don't need that.
28:55I have internet right here.
28:56Laptop, okay?
28:57So let's do screen share.
29:00Let's look it up.
29:01What's the average time in interview?
29:10You're like 10 minutes?
29:12That would be my guess, okay?
29:1630 minutes maybe?
29:2030 to 60 minutes, okay?
29:22Okay.
29:25Okay.
29:26Yeah, about 30 minutes.
29:31Sure, sure.
29:3230 to 60 minutes.
29:34Okay.
29:34Interview.
29:35Sure.
29:35Some companies have multiple interviews, like a forced interview.
29:44Well, it's like this.
29:45Sometimes phone interview, right?
29:48Then in-person interview.
29:51Some other companies, even second interviews, even third interviews.
29:56Okay?
29:56Yeah.
29:58Yeah.
29:59Depends.
29:59Okay?
30:05Oh, hold on.
30:32Yeah.
30:35Okay.
30:46So, more interview tips.
30:48Okay, don't be too blunt when you answer something.
30:53Don't be too short.
30:55And don't be too talkative.
30:56Don't be too long.
30:57Just happy middle, okay?
30:59Yeah.
31:03Okay, yeah.
31:05When you answer, don't be too short.
31:07Don't be too long.
31:09Just happy middle, okay?
31:10Moderation.
31:12Okay?
31:12Yeah.
31:14That tells you, that tells them that you are mature person.
31:18Okay?
31:18Yeah.
31:21Well-rounded.
31:22Normal person, okay?
31:24Yeah.
31:24Yeah.
31:34Yeah.
31:35What else?
31:36Yeah.
31:36Etiquette.
31:36Be polite.
31:37Curious.
31:38Yeah.
31:48Decades ago, I watched this scary movie.
31:52The movie is called Interview.
31:54Actually, it's a Japanese film.
31:58The movie won award in Toronto Film Festival in Canada, I think.
32:05Decades ago, okay?
32:06It's a Japanese horror film, and it's about actually acting.
32:11In Japan film industry, there's this Japanese actress, and he applied for an actress in a film movie in Japan.
32:27She applied for it, and now she's waiting for audition.
32:31Maybe the title of the movie is audition, something like that, okay?
32:43Why is it a horror film?
32:44That actress, okay, after applying for that role in a movie, she should sit down and wait next to a telephone on the floor.
33:05That's kind of scary part, okay?
33:06Then finally, she got the call.
33:11And the director of this movie, who gave her callback, kind of exploitative, immoral guy.
33:26I'm taking advantage of actresses, kind of like Harvey Weinstein style, okay?
33:36Yeah.
33:37So she's basically exacting some revenge on that guy, okay?
33:43I remember, okay, yeah.
33:46I remember, okay, yeah.
33:50And...
33:55I have an American movie, yeah, though.
33:58Five is right, Bucharest, okay?
34:00Yeah, okay.
34:02Yeah, sure.
34:13I mean, I don't know.
34:14I'm not sure.
34:28I don't know.
34:29Yeah.
34:31Okay.
34:32Yeah.
34:33Yeah.
34:34Yeah.
34:35Yeah.
34:36Yeah.
34:36Yeah.
34:38Yeah.
34:39Yeah.
34:39Yeah.
34:40Yeah.
34:40There's a whole, like, yeah.
34:41Yeah.
34:41Yeah.
36:16So like in the internet, okay?
36:19Yeah, Wikipedia is like major league, Facebook.
36:23Other websites more minor league, but there will be great diversity.
36:26Like this movie, The Sins of Dorian Dre, I really like that.
36:32I mean, I watched like first 30 minutes of that one hour and 30 minutes movie.
36:37So one third in, it's in YouTube, okay?
36:41For free.
36:41And there's not a Wikipedia article about that movie yet, but maybe in the future.
36:47But there's other webpages like something like Fandom, okay?
36:51Yeah, good websites there, okay?
36:54Yeah.
36:54Then I deal with lesser known movies, okay?
37:00Lesser known people, okay?
37:01Yeah, Fandom, okay?
37:02And other shows like that, okay?
37:04Very nice.
37:05So originally, yeah, the portrait of Dorian Gray, this Oscar Wilde, Irish writer, originally Dorian Gray is a guy, okay?
37:19And, but the sins of Dorian Gray, Dorian Gray is a female, okay?
37:28Because I'm a straight male, yeah, it's more entertaining for guys like me, okay?
37:35And also more modern version because it's not a portrait, but it's a film footage.
37:45And Ms. Dorian Gray in that movie, she's an actress, fashion model, okay?
37:54So the test footage, kind of audition setting, okay?
38:00How does she look in a camera film?
38:04Yeah, the test footage, okay?
38:06So instead of a painting portrait, now it's motion picture.
38:12Okay, so yeah, that's very smart.
38:15Smart, yeah.
38:28Very smart production there.
38:34To me, I think it's way better than the original.
38:37Okay, yeah, female casting and also instead of portrait, now it's motion picture, okay?
38:44Yeah, yeah, yeah, and the figure in the motion picture is aging.
38:50So every time she looks at herself in the footage, she's aging like slowly in that motion picture, okay?
38:59It's very smart, okay?
39:01Yeah.
39:03Scary, too, yeah.
39:06Nice.
39:07So I had breakfast, it was like potato salad and some pasta, cold food.
39:32And it was nice and some pineapple, kiwi slices and then brush my teeth and yeah, two multivitamin gummies and then brush my teeth.
39:54Yeah.
39:59Mm-hmm.
40:02Yeah.
40:08Yeah.
40:09Also taking a break from carpentry.
40:11Yeah.
40:14Mm-hmm.

41:39so sometimes
41:41in the middle of hiking
41:43I'll get a callback
41:45for interviews okay
41:47yeah
41:48I remember
41:50I was in the middle of hiking trail
41:53right
41:54back then I was in Anchorage
41:55I lived in Anchorage okay so
41:57uh
41:59in Anchorage
42:01there are a lot of hiking trails
42:04in the city
42:05parks
42:06mountains
42:07like Chugach mountain okay
42:09and there are several receptions
42:11in some hiking trails
42:16in some hiking trails
42:16okay
42:18so I got a callback
42:21when I was hiking
42:22so I stopped walking
42:23and then
42:23oh yeah
42:24thank you for
42:26callback
42:27and uh
42:28yeah I ran some interviews
42:30and
42:30couple days later
42:32yeah
42:33it's fun
42:34let's get some ventilation
43:03shall we
43:03okay
43:14okay
43:33okay
43:34okay
43:35you
45:33Yeah.
45:35So, I mean, I used to drink alcohol, but I don't drink alcohol anymore.
45:40But for drinkers out there, you have to be careful when it comes to between jobs.
45:45Because being between jobs, it's like having a vacation, right?
45:51So, but the thing is, if you have a drinker and you have in between jobs, you don't want
46:01to drink during the day, in the morning, because you may get a callback.
46:05It could be a telephonic interview, or maybe they, I mean, typically, if they call you back
46:14or email you, typically they may appointment, maybe next day, two days later for in-person
46:21interview, right?
46:22But who knows, maybe it's possible.
46:26Hey, are you interviewing?
46:28Can you come to our office for interview the next hour?
46:32That can happen, rare occasion, but it can happen.
46:35Who knows?
46:36Okay.
46:37Okay.
46:38So, during the business hour, you don't want to be sober.
46:40Okay.
46:41Okay.
46:42Okay.
46:43Okay.
46:44So, let's do it.
46:46Yeah.
46:47Even when you're between jobs.
46:49Okay.
46:50Because, telephonic interview initial screening, okay, they can tell whether you're sober or
46:55not, okay?
46:56And you don't want to show up in the in-person interview smelling like alcohol.
47:02You don't want that.
47:07Okay.
47:08Not some vocalist. Let's play some guitar, okay?
47:13Yeah.
47:16It occurred to my mind, this nice serenade.
47:23Very reflective and kind of like a...
47:27Korean word, μμ μ μ΄λ€.
47:29μμ μ . It means like poetic.
47:32Okay?
47:38The lyrics in English, okay?
47:51I do not know what country is from.
47:53Maybe America, maybe United Kingdom, Australia,
47:58some English-speaking country, I guess.
48:00Female singer. I do not remember the lyrics.
48:03That song was probably back in 1980s.
48:071990s. When I was in Korea, okay?
48:10Okay, yeah.
48:12Okay, yeah.
48:15Uh, guitar again?
48:18I don't think that's necessary.
48:21I think that's pretty much all I have to say for this episode.
48:26Uh, I'm gonna continue to watch the scenes of Dorian Gray on YouTube, okay?
48:35Yeah, uh, because I'm waiting to collect hot water in the bathtub.
48:40Yeah, it takes two hours.
48:44So I collect the hot water that was contained in a small boiler,
48:49and wait for one hour.
48:52Okay?
48:53Then I collect the second set of hot water,
48:58because my boiler is small, okay?
49:00And then wait for second hour, another hour, okay?
49:03And then I start taking a bath.
49:05And that time, I collect the third round of hot water.
49:11Okay?
49:12Yeah.
49:13To fill my bathtub, okay?
49:14Yeah.
49:15And then, um, taking a bath for about one hour.
49:20Yeah, exfoliation with my fingernails, fingertips, okay?
49:25Every square inch of my body.
49:26It's good massage.
49:27Okay?
49:28Skin rejuvenation.
49:29And just before I get out of the bathtub, I collect fourth time hot water to warm up, okay?
49:45Yeah.
49:46Yeah.
49:47So, me taking a bath, yeah, it takes three hours.
49:51Four rounds of hot water, okay?
49:53Yeah.
49:54Okay?
49:55Yeah, four rounds of hot water, yeah.
49:57In between, yeah, one hour, two hour, three hour, okay?
50:00Okay.
50:01Yeah.
50:02Yeah.
50:03Yeah.
