It's just become harder over time. Someone who's had a job for 6-7 years will find themselves starting over. Some of the hurdles in the way for current job applicants

LinkedIn profile (this is mandatory)
A list of personal projects
Experience in hyper specific tools only that employer uses
The time and energy for a 5-6 interview process, with the final round consisting of 3-4 candidates minimum.
Below market salary offers

The last one is especially key. Entry level white collar jobs are still offering 50k, like its still 2005.

My boomers are finally starting to understand. I send them every single job rejection I get. They've stopped giving me the "oh well sonnyboy you'll get em next time!"

>>84436523
i just cant be bothered to go to all this effort to be a monkey for a white collar job that i wont be able to get anyway, but i do feel guilty over not trying. should i be ashamed for just trying to find work driving trucks or flipping burgers. it really just seems like i cant do more than that atp

>>84436523
Yes. >>84436598 is correct but forgot to mention that the second you do get a job you realize it was all false advertisement and they are barely holding on. Do you know how many fucking companies are blood red right now post Covid? How many continue to be sold off to bigger businesses?
>muh ai and jeets
Justification for layoffs so the companies can actually show green for once instead of red. No, they didn't actually increase sales or quality but EOY gains are higher because there's less/cheaper people working.

There's no chance to grow or learn either. Wanna learn IT shit? Get these certs. Wanna put your engi degree to use? Better have at least 10 products sold on markets. Wanna work the trades? Complete this 2 year tech school program that puts you in debt so we can pay you $15 starting out.

Boomer hate on the Internet grows each passing day. if we get another Boomer president in the USA I guarantee we will see that demonic, dogshit generation being murdered in the streets and NOBODY will even bat an eye. Boomer hatred will be as mainstream as Jew hatred by that point.

White collar workers are usually salaried, not wagies

office jobs are for women
men can go die in the war

i'm a "wagie" that makes $80/hr, most wouldn't call that blue collar

I have no experience with white collar work, I'm not sure if that's all this thread is about. I started sending in applications to simple, manual labor jobs after 5 years of being a neet without receiving a single human response. My brother is in plumbing and had no problem finding jobs, getting raises, promotions, better offers from different companies, etc. I was thinking about using my life savings to get certified as an electrician, but I think I'm too stupid and lazy. I would end up failing the course and wasting the money. I actually think I'd enjoy the military. Unfortunately, I have cuts and cigarette burns covering both arms. Neetdom isn't the paradise I was led to believe. Normie or robot, playing video games and masturbating for 5 years straight gets old. I've tried a hundred different activities and they're all boring and pointless. I just want to work, buy my own place, and die.

people need socialism but it's been defeated

>>84437867
nobody needs socialism, that's for retarded low IQ fags to jerk each other off for.

what we actually need are expulsion of all jews throughout the west

>>84437867
>people need socialism
Adding more government parasites isn't going to improve the situation. Stop letting jeets in, and kick out the ones that are already here.

>>84436838
If they work for money they are a wagie. Doesn't matter what the salary is, still a wageslave because they aren't free.

>>84437867
Stronger unions sound nice.
>but those reward seniority not hard work
Right now we dont reward seniority or hard work.

>>84436523
This has been the case since ZIRP ended. If you get fired, gotta move back in with your parents or your entire savings will be drained before you can get a new job. Gig work hasn't paid well enough to stop the bleeding between jobs also for a long while. I'm probably going to become a city janitor or something soon since it pays decent and there's no stress about being fired. Eventually the economy will get better, I hope.

Both is good. The only way forward is a combination of fascism, nationalism, socialism, surely there is a way to put these ideas together

That's scary, 10 years ago I could quit jobs at will and search for something better knowing I would fall upwards. Now I have to lower my head and keep working in a place that no longer offers anything to me.

I thought it would be ageism, it really sucks the young people fresh out of school or college get fuck all to start with

>>84436523
yes very hard. 2.5 years in corporate finance been job searching for like 6 months. can't find another job to jump to. companies are LITERALLY looking for a unicorn that's willing to accept dogshit pay. its legit so fucked.

>>84436523
>nooooooo things suck for ME now please help please intervene everyone else on my behalf for my benefit!!!
Man these people really are unaware arent they

>>84436523
This is nothing new. I'm an old anon and have been through many of these cycles. For a number of years the job market will favor workers and it will be easy to get jobs. Then things collapse and managers, programmers, highly-paid workers will all get their real estate licenses.

Yes, it sucks. I've been laid off 2-3 times, sent out hundreds of resumes but landed on my feet. Few years later former coworkers are asking me to come work for them.

Keep the down times in mind as you are running through the good. Save money, keep contacts and networks active.

>>84436523
The job hunt process has gotten simultaneously more streamlined and also infinitely more difficult because of this. Recruiters will just check your LinkedIn or your Facebook and if you don't meet extremely specific and arbitrary requirements they'll just throw your resume into the trash. In the past you could just send out a thousand applications and companies didn't have like a database of potential workers so they had to settle for the ~20 people who bothered mailing an application or showing up in person and would take a risk training the 1 person who sucked the least rather than leave the position unfilled. This dynamic has completely disappeared, we're all fucked.

It's like how Amazon just ended up consolidating e-commerce towards the most popular brands. Would you rather buy the product with 5,000 good reviews or the product with only 50 reviews? It used to be that jobs would advertise if they're "willing to train you" or "perfect for fresh high school grads entering the workforce" but that shit is GONE lmao. even Walmart or McDonalds use algorithms to filter applications.
