Hey you, business owners
Are you so blinded by short term profits that you can’t make a long term recruiting plan? Or have you given up on the future already and are just trying to live the life before it’s all over? Why are you asking me for 1 year of experience and mastery of 8 different technologies on your entry level pre-employment listing? I’ve already got a degree, does that mean anything to you? Are degrees useless now? I’m willing to take any salary at this point just to get out of my room and do something with my life
Why do they call it a job market? A job is the only real source of income for the majority of the world population, are we trading people’s lives now? Why is it that if I stay unemployed I’m treated as if I have an expired sticker on my face?
And you, state
Are you so pathetic to publish a document with all sorts of legal jargon for just one position? One position that will get you a 6 page list of candidates just so they can all move to the capital twice to pass your oral and written exams? For one position? Are you not ashamed in the slightest?
I’m so tired of you all
Had a falling out with a roommate who thought I wasn’t looking for a job when I went without one for ~5 months. Probably sent out an average of 2 applications a week during that period, which may not sound like a lot, but when 80% of the job postings in your area are “Walmart Stocker”… I feel you. Once, I had to take an hour long exam as part of the application process, with no guarantee of getting hired. The job? Cashier at Home Depot.
It’s so demoralizing, they’re so used to having it their way
I’m not doing much better with sending applications either, what with having to send a personalized begging letter to every recruiter
