Where all the fucking jobs? Even entry level minimum wage shit isn't hiring. I'm working part-time at a retail store right now to save money. I've applied for hundreds of other jobs but I either never hear anything back from them, or I get called in for an interview, go to the interview, then never hear from them again.

that literally the normal job market since 2008 crash.

no idea if it was that bad before.

Look the boss in the eye, firm handshake, etc
Good news is we're probably looking at complete financial collapse within the next ten years so we won't have to worry about jobs then

The problem is always at the point where you stall. If there were absolutely no jobs, or if your application/cv/letter were terrible you'd never get an interview. If you get even a few interviews, then you look fine on paper, but you're fucking up the interviews

How? The interviews just consist of a few basic questions.

McJob? Just lie at this point. Get a friend to cover for you
"Yeah, anon was a great employee. One of the best. If his grandma didn't get in that car accident and he had to quit just to take care of her, I would've made him supervisor".

In this day an age of corporateism and online-only applications that are filtered by AI, you don't get to meet the boss. If you do, it'll be a lower level manager who doesn't get paid enough to care.

Why didn't you hire anon back?

OP BTW

Companies get more money from investors if they keep their job listings up even if they don't actually have positions open. They say they always do as a way to secure that extra money even if they don't. As a result you can only go in person or get ahold of HR or the hiring manager and then ask what they actually need. If it's something you can do, you're in. That's what I did to get my last job. It's the only thing to rely on I think. Just do eet

Basically spam applying will never work. Applying organically with high effort also does not work. All you can do is get ahold of actual humans who make hiring decisions and ask them what they need any way that you can. It's all that works in this fucked up job meta. Good luck bro

I offered the job back to him but he refused, said something about wanting to "widen" his job experience
