Pro tip your resume is read by bots in America no human looks at an online resume.

Follow these steps:
Copy the requirements and features they are looking for in the job posting.
On the bottom of your resume paste.
Change the text to white

Now the bots love you and the humans can't tell you cheated the system.

Europoor here.

Same happens here: "woohoo lots of jobs available and no people applying! reeeee get a job, you lazy faget!"

Catch is, either those jobs have ridicolously low ages for the expertise they demand, or they're far from home. I can't get a job 100 kilometers away in the worst Bumblefuck town in the middle of nowhere, demanding me every day 3 hours commuting by car when the fucking gas costs $1.81 / liter ($6.88 per fucking gallon) plus unpaid overtime and no safe employees parking spots.

I don't need it anymore I got the job I wanted anon (data warehousing) use it while it works.

From what I understand though is the software they use for resumes are simple and need to support colors for photo resumes. They look at the resume as you see it in a pdf reader and not the text content of the resume, why? Because formatting matters.

Numbers are skewed. National debt is much higher than double digit trillions. They always leave out the Rothschilds and how they're the ones with the money. They broke down their family hierarchy into JP Morgan and companies like that.

There are jobs out there, but 1. Younger generation refuses to work at Burger King and 2. The dollar lost a lot of value since the baby boom era. Boomers could afford more with less because the dollar was worth more and they didn't have to work as many jobs to make enough to afford living.

It's not that fucking hard to figure all of this out.

i would guess there will be some jobs for robotics, ai and programming related but not much else, everything else will definitely go downhill with automation next 2 decades. high tech will pay probably, traditional jobs disappear completely rather quickly. when you atuomate no need to pay taxes, pensios on salaries, very good deal for corporations

I work as a programmer and I do some pretty goddamn complicated shit, barely make more than minimum wage somehow. I'm learning for a better job right now, but what the actual fuck. Half a decade of experience too, what's the point of working hard if taxes keep going up like this and the money is printed into hyperinflation. I can't compete with >10% inflation. I've already started eating much less to compensate.

You're in the right industry. CS and branches of it are the future. I think we boomed too fast and society can't keep up with how quickly things are changing. The old systems have to die to allow the new ones to prosper. 70 year olds in office can't code anything. They're setting up to crash everything so the digital age can start over.

Warehouse, fast food, retail, sales. Only one with real potential is sales, but all the jobs open right now are dead ends. You won't be earning much more than you'll make when you start, they are literal slave jobs to keep you poor. All the real opportunities are being hoarded by older people or behind nepotism walls.

It's is actually so bad that I am not really convinced that any longer that applying makes sense. I posted a lot here lately and I don't want to brag about my qualification, but I hold a PhD and still I had to apply 300+ times for my first fixed-term contract. I am without job now and had to torture myself so hard to apply again... I sent out some, I don't know, 30-40 applications, but nothing. I just doesn't make sense any more.

The issue is companies put all their diversity hires in HR assuming they will do the least amount of damage there, but it turns out that they are so incompetent that a business can never get the new hires it needs. They can't just fire the diversity hires either since they would just have to hire more to replace them.

There are multiple ways to classify unemployment in the USA. The most commonly used one is the U3 unemployment rate. As you might have guessed it is the most common because it gives the rosiest picture of the economy. The U6 rate is far more accurate but is rarely reported on outside economic journals.

Part of it depends on where you live. I was lucky to find retail and even those needed pull to get into. I moved from there and am in training to get a decent job. All depends on where you live. And as zombie Reagan once said if you can't find jobs where you are move.
