It's amazing how many loopholes you have to jump through to get a job that you actually qualify for.

[nergispaul]

There's also the documented fact that a large proportion of the jobs advertised aren't actually available.

APPLYING FOR A JOB SHOULD NOT BE IT'S OWN FULL TIME WORK! DO YOU WANT EMPLOYEES OR NOT?!

I like how humans have literally innovated ourselves into making life harder than it needs to be.

Imagine how much talent gets tossed in favor of people who know how to farm keywords.

Company - "We can't find enough people to hire"
Me - "I'll work for you"
Company - "No, not you"

I was in Recruitment for 4 years. I advocated our department heads hard to prevent automated screening like he’s describing. I initially let it be automated, then pulled resumes only out of the discarded bucket. When we hired enough people, and the dept head mentioned the automation, I said I’d actually pulled them from the ones it discarded. We then tried to tighten it up, but nothing was able to catch what a human was looking for. The automation was turned off after a while, and is still not in use today. It does take the Recruiters a bit more time to find great resumes in the hundreds (sometimes thousands) of apps we get, but we don’t lose quality.

Im fully convinced these companies are just taking your applications, and then selling your personal data off of them.

[billyj.causeyvideoguy]

So the job market is now not about how well you do the job, its about how well you game the automation.

"no one wants to work" says the employer that won't interview 99% of applicants

[realSOnoYa]

so is this why companies are getting crappier over the years?

[frankcowpeerwood]

you have to tailor your resume to fit the job description. now do this 50 times a day just for a chance of being interviewed. incredible

[Autogenification]

Hot tip: if you're struggling to fit all their shitty keywords into your CV, just make a transparent textbox and put all those words in white/background colour behind all your main text. Landed me too many recruitment calls when I did it 😂

[DragonbornMike-ymer]

Dont forget, that's assuming the company is ACTUALLY hiring, and aren't just collecting resumes, or using it to tell people the conpany is expanding.

[atomic_poppy]

I miss the 1980s where you’d walk in and just fill out a paper application. Sometimes you’d get an interview that day and land the job on the spot. Ah the good old days.

There are also a lot of positions that are only hiring internally that are put up because they are obligated to. All outside applicants are ignored.

“Everywhere is hiring, you’re just too lazy”

Everywhere:

The beginning to think the reason that I find it so hard to succeed and life is not because I'm not a capable human being or have all these different skills, but instead because I simply refused to jump through all these silly hoops that make absolutely no sense and have no actual bearing on competency.

Out of all the bs reels and tic tok videos and mindless material we consume, thank you for making something truly important
