>>60933430Vote for the craziest shit you can and say lmao even
>>60933440Yeah I remember 2003 too, good year.
>>60933430>ok I’ll hire you anon, I could use another hand in my landscaping company >…no, not that kind of job >I deserve to sit in front of a computer all day playing Minecraft while making six figures!> I’m too good for that kind of jobMany such cases with zoomies
>>60933511The landscaping company only hires mexicans because they'll work under the table for less than minimum wage
>>60933525A spray tan and a subscription to duolingo can work wonders anon
>>60933430>>Society: Sorry, we decided you're not allowed to work.When did society ever say that?
>>60933546>after careful consideration>at this time>moving forward>other candidates>unfortunately, Many such cases.
>>60933558Do you have a marketable skill?
>>60933430>>Society: You must work to surviveThere's many programs that let people too retarded to work survive >>Society: Sorry, we decided you're not allowed to work.Society isn't a monolith, a lot of different companies recruit and you can also create your own work by providing other people with something they're willing to pay for >What am I supposed to do with this information?Find a way to be useful to people and demand money for this usefulness
>>60933575I have multiple marketable skills and not just in one industry or profession, but employers are small-brained faggots who can't see the forest for the trees even when I spell out to them the literal definition of "transferable skills.">I'm sorry we are looking for someone with at 3 years of experience in this proprietary fucking thing that nobody on the planet uses but our company
>>60933601>There's many programs that let people too retarded to work surviveenjoy your $800 a month and yearly "are you still retarded" checkups kek
>Then just lieBeen there done that. Meanwhile all sorts of videos like these keep popping up. Where are all the fucking jobs? Why is everyone complaining about Ghost Jobs all of a sudden?Why do you suddenly need 4 rounds of interviews for entry level jobs?Why, why, a lot of things. Most importantly, if we as society determined that you must have a job to survive, then why is a job not guaranteed to all who are willing to work? Or to put it another way, if so many people are struggling in this dogshit job market and general economy right now, then why are we as a collective perpetuating this myth that you just need to pull yourself up by your bootstraps because there are jobs!
>>60933575>thinking it's all about skillsin this day of age, most info can be looked up on the internet. just need a bit of time and learningyou have to be economically competitive. you have to be earning shit
Yeah dude just pull yourself up by your bootstraps, those millions of people saying that can't get a job all of a sudden and seemingly out of nowhere are just lying
>With over 800,000 job losses and counting in 2025 so far and I'm almost impossible job market were even well qualified. Individuals are having a hard time landing a new job. This could easily be the worst job market ever. Unless you are a college student fresh out of school that is buried in student loan debt and still can't find a job and when you do if you don't pay your student loan loans, your wages will be garnished.Don't worry bro society never said you have to work and totally isn't denying anyone the right to work trust me
>>60933628Skills pay bills, but I would say actually the most important factor is the state of the economy. I'm a software developer and a few years ago (when I had less experience obviously) my linkedin was blowing up constantly with messages from recruiters desperate to hire. Now it's silent.The job market in both Europe and the US right now is absolute shit. That's just the nature of cycles though, in a few years it will be good again.
>>60933660That’s because software dev jobs are on suicide watch now
>>60933660If the state of the economy is right companies will train high school graduates to do jobs that pay $100,000 a year. If the state of the economy is right companies won't hire people that are as good or better than most of their current employees. Sometimes these cycles last decades before shifting.
>>60933650>societyYour mistake is thinking that society owes you something. Society can be as irrational and unfair as it wants. You're right that the job market is shit right now. It will eventually improve (it always does) but your choice now is to either adapt or just complain that it isn't fair.
>>60933430>my LinkedIn profile photo
>>60933511>people with engineer level intelligence should just pull weeds
>>60933440>mcdonalds is always hiring anonYou in 5 years when high IQ jeets and AI have deprecated your "career"
>>60933660>just live in your car until things get betterer snowflake
>>60933688>but your choice now is to either adaptThe problem is, "adapting" right now looks like disengaging with the system entirely and turning to a life of crime or something otherwise unethical, because engaging with the system at all results in the same phrases:>after careful consideration>at this time>moving forward>other candidates>unfortunately, At least, that's how I'm interpreting the signs. But I am curious to hear what you think successful adaptation looks like in this current environment.
>>60933710Zoomers are wasting money on advocado-a-place-to-store-their-things-and-sleep
These hoes talk all kinds of shit to candidates but can't take the bantz when it's their turn smdh
>>60933717If you're able to use your skills you mentioned in order to start a business, that would really be the ultimate way to be free of HR roasties forever, or even become their boss some day and force them to actually do their job rationally and not based on feelings or emotion.But I realize that the entrepreneurship path requires a long runway, not everyone is lucky enough to have that. I'm trying it myself, but it's hard.The only other option really is to be such a strong candidate that the company would be retarded not to hire you. And that requires jumping through hoops to please the HR roasties which isn't ideal but it's better than nothing.
>>60933757The median entrepreneur is actually kinda stupid because you have to be an idiot to start a business. Seriously. Also another common form of millionaire entrepreneur is a high school drop out that started a pizza restaurant or worked at a car dealership or something scaled their lawn mowing business or collected lots of connections working as a contractor for decades. Rich people are more often lucky and/or patient than smart. The original book the Limitless movie was about acknowledged how little intelligence actually helps in this chaotic world, but in the movie they just gave him superpowers. I did not read the book but liked the movie.
>>60933757>start a businesslol, lmao even. name one economically viable business idea an individual or even a modestly sized group of individuals who don't have free start up money can realistically be competitive with.
>>60933782It really depends on the type of business, yes I think restaurants are usually a horrible idea, trade-oriented businesses can do well as you mentioned. I know some freelancers as well who are doing well and working remotely.But one thing I forgot to say in my previous post is that the goal isn't making a lot of cash, the goal is to escape the corporate nightmare and remove your income's dependency on corporate drones who only view you as a number on a spreadsheet.Even if you make less than minimum wage in entrepreneurship it's still better than being dependent on a corporation, plus you always have the potential to scale up.
>>60933830Food truck. Landscaping. Pizza shop. Trade contracting.
>>60933834>less than minimum wage>scaling upguess how i know you will never establish a successful business: you literally don't know what they look like and don't know how money and effort are deeply correlated.
>>60933839all of these recommendations are also inescapable effort pits. you're retarded.
>>60933858Okay post get rich quick and easy schemes, guinness.
>>60933834> the goal is to escape the corporate nightmare and remove your income's dependency on corporate dronesThat’s the dream, yeah I agree.
>>60933870You could do it anon.I remember when this board used to be full of optimistic young lads trying shit out, discussing different ideas, there was an entrepreneurship general, etc.Now it's full of sad demoralized people trying to put other people down because they feel bad about their own failures. Don't let them get to you.I might not have my career if not for a post someone made on /vg/ once.
>>60933902I started an LLC a year ago, but never found any clients and my business checking account got shut down a week ago because it’s been negative $100+ for too long lol
>>60933912I did basically the same thing lol. Mine is still eating 10 € per month right now but it's there in case I should need it.
>>60933627It's really weird to me. I graduated at the exact wrong time, le coof, and both jobs that I was essentially guaranteed disappeared. 2700 job applications later I gave up trying to get a job in chemical engineering and got a quasi-government job with no education required. Super high turnover so you at least got all the hours you wanted... Starting around December of last year however, people started sticking around and it wasn't because the job conditions were any less hellish.The job market has been bad for a while now, but this year it's like there's legitimately nothing out there anymore and people are forced to grab what scraps there are left.But yeah we should definitely just walk in somewhere and give the boss a form handshake, that'll fix it.
>>60933575anything can be learned on youtube in like 3 hours max. just hire me and let me spend a day learning and another day shadowing an employee and then i can start. things aren't that hard. certifications are just a scam to get you to spend money.
>>60934090Nope sorry you have to be already perfect
>>60933440NO THEY ARE NOTTHATS THE PROBLEM
