I’ve applied to 150, most didn’t respond, most that did said they didn’t want me. I had a few interviews but only one accepted me for an internship so I work for free.

Job seeking is truly hell. It really is that fucking bad. Wait till you apply for a job and they make you do 5 rounds of interviews only, give you an offer, make you fill out all the tax paperwork, and then never contact you again. It's the biggest load of shit in the fucking world.

>>52939997
>most that did said they didn’t want me
explain?

>>52940311
They emailed me saying they went with someone else or I didn’t meet their requirements.

>>52939788
>I'm still unemployed.
if you're applying to wagie (non-professional) jobs just lie on your resume and say you're still employed. being unemployed is an insta-shitcan to most boomer/roastie hiring managers.

>>52939788
There are more people qualified for lucrative careers than there are lucrative careers in existence.
t. recruiter

Same thing I’m going through. I wonder if these companies just put up positions on websites to prove to their boss that they’re doing something. Because 95% of them never reply.

I’m starting to think I need to get some skills. Unskilled labor is fucking hell trying to get a job because there’s so many people who can do it so they don’t give a fuck about your application. Any tech certifications or something that I should look into? I’m 30 and I need a scale because fuck man this job application shit is the worst.

>>52940446
Skill not scale

>>52940440
This.
And there's only so many Patels, Ezekwichis and Rosenthals in the hiring pool.

>>52939788
>Click on interview
>group of 25 people
>12 of them are niggers
>immediately exit out

Jobs are basically elaborate scams at this point
I don't think real jobs even exist unless you're a Mcdonalds worker

I’m convinced that they make it so unpleasant so that when you finally get a job you feel Stockholm syndromed into never looking elsewhere in order to avoid going through that unpleasantness again. I’m still traumatized from 8 months of job searching in 2019

>>52940428
>Kick everyone out of a job because of a fake flu
>UHH WHY DO YOU HAVE A GAP IN YOUR RESUME?

Why do normies pretend like the past 2 years of lockdown never happened?
They just basically erased it from their minds
How is that possible?

you know those people on craigslist who respond to every ad with "is this still available?"

you list your computer for sale, get a hundred responses with "is this still available?" you respond yes to every one but no one responds back. you try to set up date and times for pickup and nothing. you ask them when they'd like to pick it up no response.

and you wonder, why did all these people ask me if it was still available when they have dont actually buy it in the end.

it's just a strategy for these people. if they're interested in a computer they just span every computer listing with "is this still available" and then half the time don't buy a computer anyways. they don't care.

they do the same with job applications, send out a request for resumes even when not hiring in the same way they spam "is this available" just to collect responses. they think they're clever and strategic but they've basically combined to fuck up online reselling and job recruitment at the same time playing their fucking games.

it's so fucking awful. I'm so over everything. Fuck employers. Fuck everyone, fuck everything.

>>52940037
How do you fill the tax paperwork ?

>>52940513
Group interview is the number 1 sign its a scam. It means the job is such fucking garbage and has such a high turnover rate that they need to interview 20 fucking people at once

>>52940674
they sent me an online form

>>52940428
Thata what I am doing. My resume is completely fake.

>>52939788
a lot of companies just pump out fake job listings so they can get follows on linkedin

>>52940037
>5 rounds of interviews
I had this recently and I aced the round except for one question. Then they kept me on the wait list for 3 weeks before rejecting me kek

>>52939788
He pushed you back because he was impressed with the other girls interview and knew no one could compete with her

>>52939788
i got a job offer to be the ups delivery driver assistant. i guess they have 2 guys in the truck now to deliver shit? i didnt end up taking the job because my back hurts.

>>52939788
>get approached on linkedin by potential employer
>they ask if Friday is good for me for an interview
>"Monday would be best for me, Fridays are difficult to arrange due to my job requirements"
>*never hears back from employer*

>>52940037
if you were a woman it would take like 3 applications and you'd get hired and the HR lady would bump up for salary 15% just to be nice

>>52940037
>>52942560
and im not being a cringey incel. Even when data clearly shows an advantage they spin it into some sort of oppression lmao. Young women also make more than men in many large cities now. Wage gap reversed for people entering the workforce. If you're a male under 30 you are literally getting fucked for something that's not your fault. But larry fink and those wholesome ESG investors want companies to balance out all those boomer men with fresh young empowered women. Sorry Sir, into the discard pile you go hehe

Why didn't you get a job when companies were hiring any and everyone, plus overpaying them?

>>52939788
Welcome in the HR GAME, they're fucking with your mind and they won't hire you.

>>52939788
Its horrible and its 10x worse give or take if you are unemployed, add a 2 every month that passes for difficulty.

>>52942844
Because I had enough crypto to never work again and now I'm down 99% from ATH

>>52942535
This happened to me last week. It's rough out there boys.

I have two degrees, one of them a law degree, and I am applying to fucking telemarketing roles. It's completely fucked. People are like 'a law degree is highly regarded' but that is total bullshit because I haven't seen it.

>>52940446
A lot of companies have internal policies which states thay they have to advertise job openings externally, but most of the time the manager whos department is hiring has already chosen someone internally or at the recommendation of someone. Then they get a few schmucks to come in for interviews so that they are in the clear

>>52939788
I hope you never get a good job. Go flip burgers you worthless scumbag. Your kind will always be poor.

>>52944586
this, OP is applying for jobs out of his skill level

>>52939788
I applied for only three positions before I graduated university and I got one offer. Didn’t seem that hard

>>52942844
Because all of them were asking for vax passes you fucking nigger, now most of them aren’t which means the vaccines were always gay trash. Enjoy your aids because I hope you die for asking such an obtuse question. Nigger.

>>52944586
I probably made more money off shitcoins than you ever made in your entire life
>>52944601
Nope, applying to jobs that I meet the requirements for, faggot

>Never once considers to analyze their own skillset
>"It must be then who's the problem, it can't possibly be me"

Many such cases

This is going to sound really dumb but just pretend to be gay. Talk like a fag would in that annoying gay voice and be overly cheery. After you’re hired just drop the act completely. Some states will need an actual reason to fire you so they won’t. Some don’t need a reason and those are likely the states that wouldn’t fire you for suddenly being straight anyway.

>>52947751

youre right that did sound really dumb

>>52947751
based gay pretendooor

>>52947862
Yeah well black people pretend to be white for interviews so what’s the fucking difference. People just want to see you pretend to be something, they hate when you’re real. Anyway I’m the one with a job you’re probably fucking actually gay and unemployed.

>>52940440
>recruiter
Client side is okay, but if you're dealing with the candidates themselves you are literally bottom of the barrel
Like a real estate agent who does rentals
Recruiters are scum

>>52939788
holy shit yes, it's like that, just like everything, based on luck. get a grip

>>52951341
yeah nah loser

>>52944383
I am absolutely certain that the fault is 100% yours. You are afraid to talk to people and have no innate drive to really do things.

>>52951341
Ok anon :)
Hope you find a decent job and maybe next time you’ll learn that unless you sell you don’t have shit and clipping your biggest source of cash flow isn’t a good idea especially when it’s because of unrealized gains

>>52952285
>>52952354
Its alright champ, keep at it and maybe one day you'll make more than $100 on a trade!

>>52952548
Good luck on your job application goals of 2023. I'm sure with your attitude and qualifications you will get a call back for the overnight shift at Whole Foods. They'll probably give a you a sweet employee discount too.

>>52940037
I shit you not when I was 23 fucking Meijer of all places did this to me. A fucking grocery chain...

>>52939788
Best you can hope for is a minimum wage job, in couple years even those will be gold and require multi-round interviews. I guarantee you'll see those with doctorates working at McWagie's because that's all they can get. Future is bleak, Anon.

Why go through the ball ache? Why not focus on your own business ideas. And be humble in that regard too. Ideas most people are afraid of for easy local business that require very little capital
>moving/removal company
>gardener/landscaping company
>handyman
>mushroom grower (Jap restaurant will pay under counter for namenko and other varieties that spoil quick/in transit)
>drug dealer
>resell antiques/furniture/vintage clothes (boot sales) on etsy/ebay
You are just lazy niggers who even when you have entrepreneurship just bail at the idea of putting in effort. You want to be wagies, and you suffer for it.

>>52941127
Ty for the ssn lol

>>52946841

It's pure luck what kind of problems you get, so either you get lucky, or you are a no-life uber-autists who spends all your time master everything

>>52952836
Nah I'm not looking to become a retail wagie like you. It's not like I cant change my qualifications at any moment since they're all fake anyways. What'd you get from spinning the wagie wheel bud?

>>52939788
Just save yourself the despair and demoralization of applying online and only apply through references. If you don't have references then you need start attending places where you can make connections like university. But first exhaust everything else, ask your parents for connections, your siblings, cousins, your friends, friends' parents, anyone you are vaguely acquainted with who has a decent job, etc.

Online applications are a complete psyop and fraud and nobody will ever convince me otherwise.

>>52955888
>Just get nepotism'd
>>52953028
Just start a business which fails 9 out of 10 times

/biz/ is really sending their best today I see

>>52957818
>fails 9 out of 10 times
Just start 10 businesses then, easy.

>>52947751
Just say your pronouns are they/them and wear a skirt to interview. Have them call you by some bullshit name like fuchsia. If you play your cards right you might even be able to get them to pay for your HRT.

I think it should be illegal for interviews to last longer than half an hour. If companies want to vet you further they should do it on company time.

got tired of my job, applied to 3, got the first one, 35k improvement
idk bro just be friendly and find your niche

>>52939788
Good luck dude everyone is having a hiring freeze at the moment applied to work on the tech side of Amazon and they ended up closing the position and never calling me, applied for other tech companies and never got a call back.
Sucks broo sucks, I did get hired at my current one only because I probably took some boomers old position from COVID.

>>52955399
One of us lost their entire net worth holding shitcoins that are never coming back and is now applying to job postings with a completely fake resume on the cusp of an economic recession unable to even get a phone interview and the other one makes $60k/yr in distributions alone while working a comfy job where he not only isn't at risk of getting fried but also got a $10k raise earlier this year.
Maybe if you were actually as smart or talented as you thought you were then you wouldn't be in such a shitty situation. Oh well, sucks to suck. Enjoy living with your mom the rest of her life.

>>52958197
Not that guy but you really do sound like a faggot who enjoys eating his own shit

Honestly, I just think people are retarded and too prideful and it blinds them. I’ve found hands down the easiest single way to build a career is take the job with at the worst company and the shittiest pay but with the best title. If you’re even half way intelligent you will be able to roll that into that same exact title at a big company people actually know and have a career going in no time. You WILL work long shit hours for garbage pay, but at the end of the day you can leave in a couple years and have a reference for life saying you did XYZ at bobs company, that you know ABC systems and procedures, and that’s when the big companies will be willing to hire you because they’re looking for someone with 3 years XYZ experience that used ABC systems, experience that nobody else has as you can see with all the whining, and you’re a fucking shoe in for the role now.

>>52941106
Bullshit I got a job this way as a content mod working from home and it's the best job I've ever had

>>52939788
100%
Now while applying for jobs I just keep trying to think of as many ideas as possible to try to create a business and employ myself. I think this is the only way to get a job if you're a white man.

>>52955399
It's not so bad working in retail

I fucking love working at the Krusty Krab. Give it a shot anon.

>>52958212
Ok and?

>>52958197
And yet I still have more money than you, a faggot bragging about a 60k a year job
Also
>lost their entire net worth
Never said that
Maybe if you were as smart as you thought you were you wouldnt be posting retarded shit online

>>52958261
best advice itt

Niggers

>>52958494

>>52958523
I didn’t say a $60k/yr job, I said $60k/yr in distributions. Learn 2 read retard.
And even if I did only make $60k at a job it would still be $60k more than your job because you don’t have one and you can’t get one, evidently. Imagine being such a fucking idiot you quit your job before realizing any profit, then holding to $0, and then waiting until the fucking economy nukes before you start looking for another one. You’re a fucking idiot dude hahahahs

If you're White don't do it.

I got laid off a couple of weeks ago and already have a job lined up tomorrow, but I gotta give up WFH for a while.
No more day drinking for me for a while, I guess.

>>52948356
Nah, right now it's more like 2009.
Next year will be like 2010.
Zoomers will soon experience true suffering.

>>52942560
I work in IT and HR don’t make shit.
I can literally tell they seethe when they tell me the offer number which was given to them by the hiring manager or some TL or something.
It always feel’s interesting to see someone my age not even making a 3rd of what in making.
Btw i get to confirm this later while checking the paygrade brackets assigned to their role in my company org info page

>>52958617
The only thing you distribute is cum into your boyfriends ass

>>52939788
Most job offers are fake
Companies are forced to do the whole politically correct bullshit of searching for employees instead juat hiring friends and family.
