Quoting: BRIEF Yep. I read that in his biography. However, I believe when he did that, he already was a billionaire. |

No experience necessary, we train you. so you are ok with hiring someone who would be essentially homeless with no experience? when i fill out my w2 do i just put "homeless" or write your address in? I've hired homeless before and they were able to get a place to live within a few weeks. It's all about your work ethic. I honestly how you find work, but do something now even if you think it's beneath you. Having a purpose is better than feeling sorry for yourself. You can keep applying for your dream job while working a shit job, but already you are doing something it has nothing to do with a "dream job" i've been applying for any job i can so great now you, a guy on the internet, claims he will give me a job if i uproot and move 1500 miles away, to be homeless great prospects oh wait that requires me to have hundreds of dollars in gas money and food money nevermind You have the wrong mindset. No one owes you a job. You need to show people that you can add value to their business either through physical work or problem solving. That chip on your shoulder stands out like a giant case of butt hurt. Managers with experience can see it a mile away. A local guy had recently lost his job and his marriage. He moved into a friend’s basement. He then started making gun targets. He’s grown that business now to 5 employees and owns a half million dollar home. It doesn’t matter what you do, just do something. Stop looking to others for help and make your own luck. Living the gospel of Christ is an action not a thought. |

I was shocked at the number of 200 million dollar companies that had one IT director and looking for IT grunt to handle telco/VOIP, routers and infrastructure, all travel, all wiring, all portable devices, all point-of-sale,all servers and system admin. The wanted up and commers and pay 50k. I'd sooner live in a 1 bedroom boarding house and work at subway than kill myself working that grind 24/7. I dont blame young men for avoiding those traps. Women dont want a guy making 50k anyway. They either want a millionaire or face tattoos. So theres no upside. |

User ID: 77504359 United States 01/21/2021 12:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: SugarSand I think a lot of women screw themselves by assuming that they won't get hired because of their age ... which translates to childbearing or not, etc. They make themselves crazy. I got hired twice while visibly pregnant. People were shocked I was job hunting while ready to pop. It wasn't the hiring managers that were the problem, it was all the ladies saying ... "they aren't going to hire you because you'll be out for 3 months already ..." There is a lot of old school thinking going on that really doesn't apply in corporate settings anymore. It depends upon your profession-- Some are much better than others That's true. I have many unpopular opinions, and how I feel about private sector corporate life is one. I advise all the girls I know - if they have no idea what they want to do with their lives - to go to any affordable college and get a degree in whatever pleases them, and then go for whatever they can in the corporate world. HR, Accounting, IT, QC, Audit .. whatever. I've been in corporate life for 25 years, and there is no end in sight. I have co-workers pushing 80, still happily coming in, and still valued by the company. If you increase the bottom line, you are valued by the company. That's the way to go for average kids, boys and girls, who can sit still long enough. if you are a female and struggle at all at any point in time in this world, you are probably an idiot women have the hands down easiest time in life that's pretty harsh i guess we have different meanings for the word "struggle" i've only ever worked with about 10 other women in my role and scores of men ... if I had it easy then men are still like 90:1 on the easy scale john lennon pointed out that women are the n-word of the world yeah, i've always had a job, but i also earned a master's degree that i paid for all own my own, and i supported a family and a mortgage for decades, including a man whose physical labor took a big toll facing the prospect of moving in elderly parents while still raising children and supporting it all on my job alone? thank goodness i have it easy could it be that a successful woman puts the hubris aside and does what needs to be done in spite of the naysaying? there were 5 women in my graduating class of a few hundred at the college of engineering ... only two were American citizens ... I was 33 years old and had a toddler watching ... that made it much easier to complete my degree while working full time ... you're right I suppose it was easy every single day I got up, suited up and showed up ... even when babies had fevers and husbands hospitalized and parents hospitalized and parent teacher conferences and no clean clothes and whatever ... even if I hated my boss or my job or my coworkers ... i did the easy thing and sucked it up and waited until I found a better job all i had to do was keep hustling for 25 solid years, making sure an entire family was paid for, clean and set every day easy peasy ********************************* guess what, OP - no one has it easy if you think being a woman would have made your career as an auto mechanic easier ... maybe you are right ... maybe if you were a woman you would be so scared of never having such an opportunity again, you'd have done something differently. and kept your job until you found a better one When the shit hits the fan and the end is just nigh, will you cry out to Heaven? Will you lie down and die? Not me, my dear one - THIS IS MY SACRED LIFE - to no one nor no thing I'll surrender.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79587795 United States 01/21/2021 12:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55241621 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. Sweet Jesus, Are you able to even read what you write. You overthink, cant spell for shit. If you went in the recruitment process yourself I suspect you would fail too. If everyone in your company is like you, and your HR??? DUDE start looking for a JOB, your company is going to go bankrupt with this think. No the company isn't going bankrupt because of a few phone typos or autocorrects. It's making more than it has in 10 years by selling the little shit available at full price during a time of insatiable demand all with labor cut to the bone. I should be looking for a job if I couldn't do mine without my employer. Fortunately for me I can and will. When they are the last man standing and sell out or sell off like all the leftist ran BLM loving megachains do my position will be gone. Just like my legal obligations to not bring my clients with me to my own business. Everyone in my business is not like me. They are usually under 5 years experience, promoted from the outside, lesbian, angry, and the last person a Karen would want to get if asking for the managers boss. I would do fine in the recruitment process. I am not a retard that can't google the answers to a personality aptitiude because I don't see why those two words would even be used together. |

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. Quit being a bum. Theres a million jobs out there. half are fake and 100 million are applying for them |
