My experience job hunting.
Been unemployed for about 9 months now.

Yes majority was during the covid crap.

I've filled out hundreds of applications, sent my resume to hundreds of places, nada.

I see the same job postings day after day.

I go to places in person, i ask about job postings online.

I am met with snarky attitudes, i am told that if they are interested they will call me.

I am also told by some places that they are not hiring at all(despite an online job posting), or an outside company does the hiring.

Fake jobs, fake life.

Also I spoke with an unemployment counselor who works with the city, he told me currently there are way more people out of work than jobs available.

What does this mean? hundreds if not thousands of applicants for each job, and super picky employers

At this point getting a job is like winning the lottery.

Agree with you OP.

I think the government is LYING about unemployment numbers. A ton of small businesses closed for good, and we are expected to believe that huge wave didn't affect the numbers in a huge way?

The numbers don't make it out to be that bad but let's use our brains here. Economy closed down in many states and that is hard to come back from quickly.

Agree with you on the same jobs being posted each day. I see that too. Another huge problem is temp agencies and other "hiring" agencies (funny terms for corporate middle men thieving entities) are everywhere.

As far as the attitude thing, that sucks when you encounter that in just the initial interviewing stages. Never a good sign, I tell those people to fuck off right away if I am given that snarky attitude. No job is worth that.

Re: My experience job hunting.
I see the same applicants every few weeks. Let me tell you why they aren't getting a call back... and I don't even interview these people myself.

Part time don't get exemptions from nights and weekends especially listing open availability to land an interview and, surprise, your open schedule applies to 4 days in the week. The full time and other part timers who could use your help are not willing to rearrange their lives to accomodate your 3 day a week commitment to community college. You couldn't take on more than that without a job yet you think your employer should accomodate your unavailability and trust you could equally commit to both. If you won't commit to school or work on its own how can you expect anyone to view you as a potential asset?

Green, purple, blue, orange. Nobody cares what color your underwear are but when you wear them on your head you are a walking red flag begging for mental health based preferential treatmemt. Its definitely a look but not really a good one for getting a job. If you did get hired on you wouldn't stay because nobody would risk an HR disaster letting you get to know the real them in fear of retaliation for percieved wrongdoings or discrimination.

No this is not everyone. But it is too fucking many.

And then you have people like me who didn't even apply to a place and get tons of calls. Get hired to the first job I actually consider. And still get calls left and right for other jobs. We can spot a liberal a mile away. Enjoy being poor living off the system.

Fake jobs, fake life.


The big scam now is people pretending to be
a large company, putting out job postings on indeed, linkedin etc,
you start to fill out the form which has the logo and everything.
You are giving them all your personal info to sell.
They may even try to get you to hand over your social.
The best thing to do is go to the companies main page, find out if the job exists, then apply from there.
