Put your life savings into index dividend stocks, move to cheap third world country, live on rice and beans, create travel content. Trust in God. 🤞 🙏

49 years male here, and I left the corporate BS and office games. I have left so many jobs I lost count. I now live avoiding most people as much as I can. These companies can careless about employees and giving promotions. It's about saving costs and how they can screw the hardest worker. and the pay isn't worth sticking around for a raise. It's much easier to find a new job with higher pay. Outside of work, its just me and my dog I have a nice nest egg for retirement and live below my means. Also forget about dating and women, as its a mess in the US. It's much better to be alone and do what you want when you want. . The entire system is broken, and only the ew make it. I don't see myself going back and sticking to my side hustle, like my podcast, to support myself. Great video!

Healthcare is booming.

Man this old corpo ain't quite getting it yet, the companies are paying child size salaries so they're expecting childish behavior, but profit being profit they won't change pay to match current population until it's too late and the machine making millions breaks down. Story as old as time so you just have to make your profit off of others pain. Nowadays that means 1099 charging 450 an hour. But since they'res no job security in that we can't build really good things that'll dominate the international market.

I am a corporate recruiter. IT went down hard in late 2022 and has not yet recovered. In addition to James LinkedIn post, ATS sort people in the order they came in, so spending hours perfecting a resume is actually detrimental to getting an interview. You should not be re-making your resume for each position, as that lowers your chances of getting an interview due to how ATS sort people. You should find up to four job titles that you meet the qualifications for and create a resume for each of those job titles based on those keywords and qualifications. Use those resumes to mass apply to jobs. Quality AND quantity of your resume matters.

Of course there are limits. Is still tough to get a job as a TN worker, and most employes will only want us to be there for at least a year or 2. We can't apply for full time job positions. We are meant to return after our time is over, and we are often abused and mistreated as TN workers. We are no taking away jobs at all. There are still thousands of jobs postings only available for USA citizens only.

Metas excuse was probably a projection to fit a narrative that it wasn’t Metas fault a downturn in the company’s performance was occurring, so the investors/shareholders wouldn’t be as alarmed

I am the top of my game. I've been out of a job for 2 years now. I am a software architect for most of the software that hospitals use. The only thing left is to just day trade.

I promise I don’t have a black heart! But the dark side of me wants to see these HR ppl who do this to applicants lose their jobs then have to go through what they put ppl through and feel completely hopeless as they get rejected and ghosted over and over. Karma eventually comes around HR monsters!

Go get a CDL drive a bus they always need drivers

I got laid off mid Dec should be illegal no one hires in Dec

I think my professionalism hurts me in interviews. It seems dumb at first then you have to think. Am I over performing and scaring off the company? Would the person potentionally hiring me scared I might take their job? It's insane you have to think about these things while remaining competent at the same time, and for me, thats really rough, it's hard to just turn off being "professional" enough to land a job.

Gooooood information!!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Perfect timing!

I had an interview with a pretty decent size energy company out of charlotte back in october 2023. They had hired the recruiter i spoke to like two days before my screening call. In my final interview, the purchasing manager was hostile, asked why she should hire me, said she didnt read my resume, etc. I still finished the interview but dont recommend doing one with a bad company like this.

They do these ghost jobs where they don’t even intend on hiring anyone. Also I agree for weeks they put that guy in emotional distress. I actually read that some of these companies post job ads to help candidates think 🤔 they are hiring and to boost their morale. They have to be sick in the head to think like this, of course unless their budget isn’t finalized, perhaps they are waiting for interest payments from the stock market for their budget, this is the typical game of corporate businesses

It's because the asking salaries for all of these candidates was too high! That's why they didn't want to hire anyone!

Wait til the US government starts having a population decline, slow market growth and corporations aren't making $$$...they'll start blaming Milennials and Gen Z for this. It's BS, and if I had to choose between saving up for a home or child, I'd save up for a home first. Kids are a luxury item at this point.

I feel everyone is cheating with openAI for interviews. What are your thoughts?

That guy that went through four interviews and then was told that the company was not going to hire anyone should never have happened. These HR people and any executives involved should have their faces on the FBI top worst companies list.

It’s not surprising that after 8 weeks of not finding what they want, if the circumstances change, they might decide to reorganize and cancel an opening. I have seen that from the hiring side. Desirable? No. Possible, definitely but rare.

They'er all asking for bilingual now too

Companies are stupid! It's been that way for decades. About 20 years ago I was looking for a senior developer position in NYC and had a heck of a time despite awesome references. Just some bad luck with companies going under. I interviewed - multiple interviews with several groups! - at one place and after all of that they told me they weren't interested. Then about 6 months later a recruiter got me in again. Different team interviewed me and I got the position immediately. They tried to stiff the recruiter and wanted me to lie about the situation, which I refused to do. I ended up rising to lead developer and architect on the most important projects and leading all the previous teams that rejected me. No hard feelings, I was all business. That job ended when 9/11 happened though. Another job I was given a technical interview and asked for my detailed evaluation of a system architecture. I told them it wouldn't be scalable as they needed and suggested a different direction. I was told I had no idea what I was talking about and then told right to my face that my education as stated on my resume was fake. I told them to call the school right there and find out. Obviously I stepped on someone's toes. The list goes on and on. At this point I won't go through ANY interview process. I will only take on work from those in my industry who know me. Thus my advice: get really good on one particular thing and be THE expert in it. Help others out and solve their problems and don't demand credit. At some point work will come to you.

That’s not a scavenger hunt at all! That’s a competency test for small law firm that will need the receptionist to do some basic research and mailing tasks from time to time… You show initiative and land the job, they’ll likely help you go through a paralegal course and move on up in the firm! Law firms are like tribal families! Or a mob family, you show initiative and respect, they’ll reciprocate handsomely! For young 20-25 yo woman, that’s a great opportunity!

Just some advice record your interviews, if it's in person chest can. Some of these questions are either inappropriate or had nothing to do with the description you applied for

There are a lot of people looking for jobs but there’s not a lot of good paying jobs for everybody

About the “do I like to party” question, I feel like interviewers over-index on their most recent experience. Probably had someone that liked to party so now they bring that into every situation 🤣

data grabs and harvesting to train their LLM and Machine Learning Hiring AI and workflows a bigger issue with these job platforms and HR platforms using us as actors and tools

What's with all these Whatsapp messages.

The best way to find a job in this day in age is stop cold applying to random jobs on job boards and utilize your network. Its all about who you know and who knows you. Networking is key.

I stopped playing this game. I'm watching and observing. They are up to something very dark.

the first guy... i'm sorry but HR is NOT an important job and in a market like that, it's impossible to find something. HR are a big part of the problem and the first thing company will cut. BTW sell your house right now, house price will crash and will be impossible to sell later, already slow market, sell it now.

Whatsapp msg is usually a red flag for scam. There is always a power dynamics difference between employers and candidates. The difference is especially noticeable during economic downturn. The stuff most redditors mentioned have been common for junior tech workers for decades in Canada. When a fresh grad complains about it, everyone told the fresh grad to shut down until it is their turn to the slaughterhouse. The idea of getting into big tech is eventually you move to shilling courses to get into a glorious job in big tech.

I feel bad for the first guy. It wasn’t just carrot dangling, it was literally getting to the final stage and then telling him that news. Thats crazy.

For those of us who plan for these downturns, it seems the best path is to build your skill set, which is yours to keep. This is a preparation phase for when things improve. Being busy without being productive makes no sense. You wouldn't test drive a car you have for sale with a "tire kicker"; why would you bother with a "tire kicker" employer?

I don't think that job posting is serious. It's a troll job to post something.

I love the children in Hr roles calling their roles “behavioral analysts” and a joke too

data harvesting and training the ML and AI should be illegal cause thats all it is

HR and recruiting is all messed up - more roles are wrong for what the skill work is and the data integrations and AI in these ATS workflows is biased I stopped interviewing with anyone using WorkDay or ADP too The whole HR system is a joke

Companies are most definitely playing a sick game. It's a joke to them. I refuse to play that game. Time to brush up on wilderness survival skills.

"Candidates must have fifteen years of experience in this system that was invented four years ago to be considered for employment."

HR is high on acid maybe even enjoying good old tidepods and paint thinner creating these bullshit job reqs./quals. Every single day I read horror story after horror story and post after post on both Linkedin and Reddit about more than qualified people in depressing amount of debt in the process of losing their home and already well on their merry way to homelessness that can't get a damn job. Also these kids that come out and actually want to kickstart their career/pay off student load debt that can't because the bar for "entry level" jobs keeps getting raised higher than the time before that it's obviously no longer entry level.

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news here, but here is something to think about. It all comes down to supply and demand. If there is too much of something regardless of what it is the supply is high and demand is low. When people start realizing that the supply is too high they go on to something else. This then will decrease supply and then increase demand. This is all cyclical and we are in the part of the cycle that has too much supply not enough demand, eventually the pendulum will swing the other way, but not as fast as what alot of people want that pendulum to swing. That's why it is important to retool and have a diverse tool set so that you are not so dependent on a singular skill set.

Best way to NOT get people so they can hire H1B is to ask crazy requirement.

There is a guy outside my window asking for spare change. Are bookstores hiring or colleges looking for professors? Intellectual type gigs. If you do get a job are you going to continue to do TH-cam? Medical marijuana places seem to be hiring also.

He's probably right, who would be seeking someone who has 24 years of experience and is still a junior. LMAO

May be a typo.

got a new job! it's a move california to louisana kind of backwoods a little bit but you gotta do what you gotta do in today's job market. if you can't find anything where you live, get out of there! even if you have a home or w/e what're you gonna do? lol, let your money go to zero? i intentionally try to own minimal stuff so i can move when i need to it took me 10 months of consistent applying to get that job btw, it was the only thing i could find that pays me more than i already make

Is it possible that they meant 2-4 years and forgot the dash?

I concur these job requirements don’t match the roles seeking. But without leverage, we’re forced to play the game by their rules
