In the early years of Steve Job's career, he would go into meetings with potential investors barefoot and smelling like a hippie...because well, he was a hippie...and he became a billionaire...

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

Create your own job Op. It CAN be done as I've done it many many times over the years.
Think about what you are good at or really enjoy doing and figure out a way to make money at that, and yes, you can get high first. It'll probably help, lol

Yes I would hire you if you enjoy working with children. No experience necessary, we train you.
 Quoting: Bloody Peasant!


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?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79104722


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
 Quoting: Bloody Peasant!


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
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79104722


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.

Re: 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.

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.

Re: My experience job hunting.

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.

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.

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

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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55241621


wtfdid

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.

epiclol
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77553364


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.

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

you think your hard work was smart?

you are nothing more than a cog at the end of the day, there's a line of people waiting to replace you

cool let me just come up with thousands of dollars to relocate over there

We have a homeless shelter that is nice and will let you stay free at night. Gas to here is no more than 800 dollars for a v8 truck. In a month you will have enough money for rent in a decent trailer or apartment. In 3 months you would have enough to buy a trailer with land.

i don't have 800 dollars

we live off welfare that barely pays the rent

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.

Re: 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.
