when you apply, do you also call in? might also be necessary to show up physically to schedule an interview.
other than that, all i can say is I'm sorry. it's not your fault we're in the most competitive, most raped job market in history. All I'm gonna say is that it isn't your fault, it isn't even the fault of the retarded immigrants coming in and increasing the supply of workers, you can't blame an animal for trying to eat. If it's not the fault of either party, who deserves to be punished? You don't deserve it, so you shouldn't kill yourself.

That's just how it is everywhere
I had internships, a 4.0GPA, degree from a good uni and I spent 18 months hunting for work after graduation
Only got my job bc my dad happened to know a guy

After 8 years of working It's still frustrating to see it happen in real-time Like, we have vacancies, we bring in Interns some who are real fucking talented and we want them.
HR just throws their papers in the trash.
Hires some nepo-baby that is like a fucking board member's nephew without even an interview into out section and now we're stuck with this retard.

Been working in a large super market chain since I was 16 years old. Since then I've finished an IT degree, done internships that went nowhere, paid off the school fees but never left the grocery store and just kept getting higher positions and better pay. Now I am the most well set up out of my cohort I studied with, and it's because I stuck with the most mundane option instead of fully committing to IT work.
Fucking sucks man.

I have a friend entering college for Civil Engineering and just scored a job at a large super market chain. Is this going to be his future or are you just an exception?
>>
>>84912192
>Is this going to be his future or are you just an exception
It all just comes down to competition, and how easily can you be replaced with someone cheaper. Civil Engineering is good and if he sticks with it he'll be successful. Not everyone is skilled enough to be a good engineer.
I live in a country and a state where every other person is studying something IT related, the number of immigrants from India is genuinely high, and the industry collapsed post covid. It's a dead sector.

What's worse, trying to get a girlfriend, or trying to get a job?
>>
>>84912324
They are as bad as each other. In time, getting a partner comes to depend upon what kind of work you do. In their 20s, women will date most young men because there is in that nascent life a shred of potential, and she could have a hand in helping you become who you want to be, an experience most tend to like. Late 20s into 30s, as life narrows, a partner is harder without a full life into which this partner can slot themselves because women are otherwise content to live their own lives.

Jobs are also harder to get as you age unless you have a sterling resume, otherwise there is just some hotter, younger guy. People like being around attractive youth.

Spoken like the children you significantly more than likely are.

Trying to get a decent job/decent income is infinitely worse than a girlfriend unless you come from money. Living in abject poverty is fucking horrendous. It's hard to give a fuck about some pussy when having a roof over your head is uncertain and you regularly have to go to food banks in order to survive.
>>
>>84912500
i mean purely in terms of the difficulty of doing so, not the effects of not having one
>>
>>84912500
>significantly more than likely are

Damn, I struggled to read that. Use fewer adverbs. The only reason you feel confident in calling other people children is because you could read what they said in the first place.

In my post I did not deny the difficulty of finding a job. I said they are harder to get as you get older, barring a parting life circumstance, just like women.
>>
>>84912561
particular***, not parting.


Jeez, all that and then I misspeak. Anyone can get it.

im so appreciative of my neetbux if I had to go to a job while having all my problems id of snapped a long time ago

People will call you if you have the skills needed. You doesn't even have to apply.

Did you grow up in the 1950s or something? Woman don't spend their 20s committing and building a life with a guy anymore lol

You can file for unemployment. This is considered constructive dismissal.

This hasn't been true in a very long time unless you're only talking about being a specialized surgeon.

This is the "never moving out" economy. If you can't live with your parents, it's the "you will die if you lose your job instantly" economy. Not really sure how this is supposed to work out given job security is dead.
