they make no profit from me unless they get to exploit my labor time right?
It’s such an obscene lopsided relationship, the potential employee with no social / government support for basic costs of living in capitalist hell, taking entire classes in high school or community college, or vocational rehab programs dedicated to tweaking their résumé for fucking job-specific keywords and learning iNtErVieW SkILLs for a chance of being noticed by HR drones sifting through digital stacks of desperate laborers’ applications.
I’ve never found the stones to speak so directly about “why I want to work here” (or my favorite “WHY SHOULD WE HIRE YOU?!”) at any interview, because all these employers and their liberal HR acolytes who’ve never had a hard time in their lives are on hair triggers looking for the slightest fucking reason to toss your application in the trash and send you an automated rejection e-mail.
