Why do comics rarely depicts how hard it is to find a job ? Is it because the industry is full of nepo babies ?
Just the thread I was looking for. I'm applying and not getting anything. I could go back to working low level restaurant jobs but they pay like shit and they're dead end. How am I supposed to get better paying jobs if I never get that first initial job in another industry to help me transition? I'm in college and apply to internships in my field and never get those either. People love to make fun of men for being unemployed and staying at home and playing video games etc but I'm literally actively trying to get a job but no one will hire me. I don't even get interviews. All I get are the "sorry we didn't pick you" emails.
>>150408371The entire game is rigged. A lot of those jobs and internships are already snached up by people on the inside for their kids/relatives/friend's kids/some guy they met and liked the cut of their jib. Throw in absurd barriers of entry (need a Bachelor's Degree for low level data entry ect) and you have a nightmare I'm sure some faggot will chime in and blame the usual suspects instead of the actual obvious reason
>>150408371My only options are shit jobs and I still can't get shit. I can't handle my current situation anymore. I wish I could just make enough to live on my own.
>>150408303At least you didn't learn you lost a good job opportunity in your field because you told the company that you had a vacation coming up (that you were willing to cancel on for them) and to give you a heads up for when they wanted you to start.
If you never get interviews then you are not applying to jobs you can do, or didn't write your resume properly.If you fail every interview, then there's a problem with you since the interview is mostly about checking that you didn't lie on the resume, and checking that you can actually work in a team.Typically zoomies too often than not, demand to work from home from the starts, without even passing any test nor questions.
>>150408303I wish there was a western equivalent of zom 100
>>150408469There used to be a time when people weren't expected to eat, breathe, and shit their profession every hour they are off the clock.
>>150408469>Guy who has it easy telling everyone else they must be stupid or lazy
>>150408486Isn’t Welcome to Zombieland very similar ?
Because nobody cares, half of comics fans are willfully unemployed and the other half are upper middle class people with very easy jobs.
>>150408303the issue is HR and unchecked worker migration.Mostly HR DESU.T. Migrant worker
>>150408490Yeah… and that time was a roughly ten year window starting in the 70s when Boomers entered the workforce. Profession has been identity for 99% of the span of human civilization - don’t mistake an outlier for the norm.
>>150408490Anon when medieval peasants had their time off they mostly spent it doing their work on their own fields.
>>150408463What did you even lose out on for? Because you said you had vacation time? Did they simply not trust you?
>>150408835>applying logic to HR
>>150408303This comic is dumb. Croc is an infamous hypervoilent cannibalistic criminal. Icky scaly wouldn't be what they were thinking at the time.
>>150408835Literally because they needed me to start the week I was going on vacation. It took everything for me not to lose my cool during that call. I even repeated that I was willing to drop my vacation because I considered the job more important, but they didn't care.
>>150408303Because most comics just want to quickly move onto the next storyline said job provides. They rarely display the struggle of job searching unless they're really trying to hammer in the character is at a low point. Another reason is a lot of writers these days are people who have had steady work for decades, or are trust fund babies/married to money, and thus cannot relate or even comprehend what the current job market is like. Its like how my dad told me when I was searching to just walk around town and hand out printed interviews to every business. He didn't understand, because he lived in a time where you could quit your job, walk across the street, and get hired there within an hour. That was some years ago, and he now knows that life aint that simple anymore. But I'm sure a lot of writers still have a mentality like that.
>>150408601>>150408831And for the majority of that history you also got taught on the job, could expect to be doing it for 5+ years or die doing it, and move up the chain.You're fucked if you think work being your identity is ok because it was that in ye olden times.
>>150409486Ok ill give you that, pretty much you were guaranteed to have some job back then.
Letting women run HR is a mistake because they use their same unattainable standards for finding a husband to find employees. The key is to bypass them and try to strike up a conversation with a manager.

He didn't understand, because he lived in a time where you could quit your job, walk across the street, and get hired there within an hour.I regularly get to educate the elderly in how the world works today at my job. 60-70 year old people come in wanting to talk with the manager about getting a job.>"There's no point, you need to apply online, and the manager won't even see your application until corporate gives the OK.">*smug look* "I just wanna talk to the manager about the job, that's all.">manager tells them the exact same thing I just did>they end up looking more and more depressed>"but I never hear back on the applications I put in!">"I know how you feel, I've been looking for another job for 6 months, still haven't gotten a single call back."More and more I hear from younger people that their mother/father/grandparent didn't believe they were trying to get a job, until their relative tried to find a job themselves.To answer OP's question, it's because the majority of comic artists and writers live with family to support themselves. Writing/drawing a comic about getting frustrated with the family you live of off could blow up in their faces and get them in an unpleasant home situation or homeless. It would be like a 12yo making a webcomic about how much his friends drive him crazy and publishing it, he might not have friends afterwards.
>>150409486Blame employers for outsourcing on the job training to schools (using a degree as a substitute for training) to save pennies on the dollar, not the schools for offering degrees in the first place.

>>150408303Just be born rich.
>>150408891This type of thing would ONLY work if it was before Waylon ever committed a crimeIf its post that where hes eaten people why would anyone take the risk
>>150408303>applying on indeedThere’s your problem.
>>150412851Everyone deserves a second chance, anon.
