Is funny and absurd at the same time you can lie on references and put it on your resume and that can sent you to jail while an employer who fake a job posting gets away with it
They labal a job as "entry level" because they don't want to pay them a lot. If a job is "entry level" the pay is cheap. They demand experience because they don't want to train new workers. If they want cheap labor they should hire inexperienced workers & train them. If they want pre trained workers they need to pay more. The problem is that managers want to have their cake & eat it too.
And they can do that because people who should be retired are still having to work, giving them a monopoly on jobs. Companies don't have to waste any time or money training people.
@@benafoo25 it's still an oxymoron. entry level means you're looking for someone with 0-1y experience. what they actually mean is they're just looking for someone. ideally they're looking for someone they can hock off to a contract straight away. a lot IT jobs in an area are actually the same job through 10 companies. I had this crazy situation this one time where I was arranged a job at a company, that was a contact job to a different company, that was actually a job interviewed by the actual company footing the bill for the gig. the company in the middle couldn't do a hire and neither could the actual company footing the project bill, so they just were got told to make this arrangement.
Classic one I saw when I was looking back in the day, I'll get the years wrong but point the same: must haves: 5 yrs experience in Office 2003, must have 8 yrs experience in Visual Studio 2005, this in 2006. They'll want experience that isn't possible for anyone to have. I think they just edit the job posting adding the new versions of stuff a couple years later when they need someone again but don't realize the requirements no longer make sense.
I miss the good old days when a person could walk into a business, talk to the owner/manager, and ask for a job. They either need someone or not. you're either qualified or not, but you get hired or you don't, but you know immediately if you have a job...
Agreed, that still exists, at least in smaller cities and towns. I've worked construction my entire life, 20+ years now, if you want a job, show up on site with boots, a hard hat and the will to work. I've never heard of a construction company turn away willing laborers, just most folks are too lazy to actually work. They want an air conditioned office and a nice chair. 😂
@shanephillips4011 Yes... this I true.... I'm 62 now with diminished physical and balance issues, not to mention the need to go pee at unpredictable intervals. I need the money, but I'm no longer qualified to do most physical labor, such as construction, which is mostly what I know, nor am I confident that I qualify for disability... And I suppose I've lost considerable confidence in myself... I'm still fairly strong for short periods of time, just poor endurance. Construction for physically fit workers is still open for the willing to work... Pray for those who are in my position... We are willing to give what we have to offer, but over all its not enough.
@@shanephillips4011 That's what confuses me about the younger generations. 70 years ago, most work was in plants or out in the hot fields. Most didn't have college degrees, and a copy fax machine was only a dream. Now, lots of the hard labor is automated or sent to China. These kids get number crunching jobs in some cushy office and complain that they have to work 8 hrs, or that they have to drive to work. And we're dumb boomers for pointing it out.
Me too. I have spent hours on Indeed and sites like that. Even took tests for some of the jobs. I never got a job out of that. I’m with you. I miss busting in and talking to the owner etc. and you get a job or not. Nowadays there are to many hoops to jump through like background checks and even credit checks etc. what does my credit have to do with a job. Even the background checks. Yea I did some dumb shit misdemeanors as a young person but learned from that yet stuff like that and my credit which I screwed up years ago is still relevant to them no matter how much I have changed in my 50 years.
On behalf of everybody, I want to officially say "Screw You!" to every single HR person who misposts their jobs as both "Entry level" and "Requires 3+ years experience" As far as rejecting based on the address, that raises some legal concerns. Many cities have "Minority heavy neighborhoods", and if the employer is filtering those out then they're effectively violating labor laws and discrimination. "All you really have to do is put down fake references, because they can't confirm nor deny" Not accurate. They can confirm/deny that you worked for the company, and the dates of employment. Those are objective facts that they won't be sued for. What they won't do is state whether or not you were subjectively considered a good employee because that's what potentially opens them up for liability.
The issue is that people are NOT hiring it's ghost jobs they're just collecting applications for backup. It's super annoying and discouraging! I applied to 400 jobs positions, the majority were ghost jobs. Eventually I did get a job. After 6 months of hunting.
it hasn't been easy for like 10 years for overseas either. the mass hiring was part of the problem and the projects not benefiting from the mass hiring. you know nokias s60 back in the day, the first version of that symbian platform was developed by roughly 100 guys, mostly by 30. by the end of series 60 they had thousands of people working on it doing essentially nothing both western and overseas and to get things done had to resort to contractors anyway.
There's consequences for refusing to train new employees. All this does is cause the population as a whole to become less skilled, and as these highly technical positions age out, there's going to become an ever smaller pool of actually qualified candidates until eventually there's nobody left but the bottom of the barrel.
It's going to be gone forever since we're negating the "Non compete" sections of contracts. No employer in their right mind is going to spend thousands of dollars and weeks training people just for them to go work for their competitors.

The thing that bothers me most about companies not caring about their employees is the companies are ran by people. This is a pretty big number of people that dont care. Lots of scrooges
We dont have enough union paying jobs for people in urban and rural areas to aspire to. Given our success over the decades we assumed the economy would prosper yet our government has created the beginning of our downfall
Yes!!! I have been applying for months!!! For jobs that I have 15 years experience at!!! I lost my job 6-23 and had to take a job making a 1/3 of the pay!!! It's horrible 😢
Sorry you gotta go through that, keep pushing! Unfortunate that we have to live in these times. Keep applying whilst working there, hoping the best for you
For anyone who can't get a single job. I would just lie on my resume. I would search online for different resumes and use them as a baseline to cover 2 or 3 years for my own experience. Then I would research common interview questions and figure out ways to tackle them. Hope this helps someone out there.
Couldn’t agree more with your advice for people to work for themselves. My dad used to tell me that companies only paid me and promoted me because it was a good deal for them, once it wasn’t they’d let me go. I wish I could tell him that he was right. 🙏
I have two friends, both management level capable. Both have been looking for a job for over a year. One was getting interviews, but the scope of the job during the interview process would change well beyond his skill set and capability to learn in the time they wanted to have him perform. Both were in interview processes that were more than 6 interviews, with no job. Then, you have companies that post jobs but the position has already been filled internally, so they are resume farming. It's a stupid world now.
My 16 yo daughter works at Arby's a couple yrs now. They wouldn't even fire anyone cause couldn't get workers. But now so many needing jobs got as high as 1200 applications in a week. People an hr away applying. Tells you job market isn't easy as they say. People are now going back to basics
Our rule at the large retailer I worked at was if someone called in asking if we were hiring the answer was always no. You need to come in, talk to a person, shake their hand, etc. We needed to see you.
Entry level jobs are full of 10,000 plus applicants, which makes them harder to fill. I went on 6 job interviews in one month that totally seemed like I was a good fit, but because recruiters have such a large pool of candidates, it feels like they're just interviewing to keep their books full. Eventually in June I got a decent temp work and got hired within 4 days for a 5 month contract. You cannot stop applying for jobs even once you get one. Entry level is the new minimum wage.
if you don't have something to show 'i did this' - or pre existing relationships - you ain't making it, sorry. with software it's not that hard(resources wise) to have something to show that you made it, if your field is oceanliners then good luck.
Seems about right. Lost my disability because my wife works. Been trying to find a job for 4 months now. Can't even get a job at McDonalds or something as simple as bringing in shopping carts at a store. Ugh. And so many have silly requirements. I've been disabled my whole life, how am I expected to have 5 years experience before?
Stop being lazy disabled no excuse get to work you 😂😂😂 that’s the attitude of our governments plus you can’t talk to anyone now it’s all automated crap I am Scottish no one understands us 😂😂 hope things get better for you I know how hard it is ❤❤
I get messages from recruiters several times a month. I mean, we're probably averaging 5 a month, if I were to estimate. And every single one of them reaches out to see if I'd be interested in more information. I respond with yes, and then never hear from them again. This has been going on for over a year.
I can't tell you how many fake advertisements are out there. Careerbuilder, Monster, and ZipRecruiter are full of them. Investing in a living, breathing headhunter may serve you better. Wishing you success on your job-hunting journey!
I once Applied for a Employment agency, those guys made me wait almost a year to say No January 2023 - applied, 2 days later we haven't seen it February - 1st interview May - 2nd interview July - 3rd interview and background check and pay for company ID August - 4th interview and when can you start September - Left my toxic job to then see Employment agency lied about even promise me a Job, and yea lost $70 lost and out of my job...
My youngest has her Batchelors degree and the only work she can get if you want to call it that is unpaid interships so she can get that 3 years or more experience. Its ridiculous. That said, she wont even put in an application to the local grocery store, Walmart, or McDonald's. People need to do what they need to get work, hell do what I did and join the military, learn a trade and get experience.
Don't need any degrees or debt to be a laborer on a construction site. Nobody wants to do real work anymore, as a Carpenter of 20 years, I'm at a complete loss as to who is going to replace our aging and greatly diminished infrastructure workforce. There are almost no new people coming up, all old guard, at 38, I'm the young guy in the industry these days.
It's shocking to me that 20% of all new college graduates are taking at least 1 parent with them to a job interview. Companies have been screening resumes for job keywords since 1999; I'm 66 and I've only worked for someone else 2.5 years in my entire adult life - I would rather work for myself doing something I am interested in even if it means I am not getting rich as long as I am able to pay my bills, take vacations if I want, and work the hours I want. With the internet, there is no reason for anyone to constantly be learning new things and broadening their skill stack. You only have one life, try not to spend most of it making someone else rich!
I’ve also heard about companies posting “ghost jobs” where they’re not actually hiring but just so HR can look busy and the company can show to stakeholders “look we’re growing because we have all these jobs open”. When really they’re not hiring or already have a candidate in mind (usually internal).
When I first started working as a project designer, everywhere I went they wanted 5 years of experience. I was like well how do I get 5 years of experience if no one will hire me? I had to find a place that would hire me.
So I actually had 4 years experience when I graduated with my bachelor's degree. I got it by working part time for professors while studying full time. It gave me great connections and a leg up in the entry level applications. That said the number of positions requiring it now is crazy.
30 yrs experience in variety of software, systems etc but not certified! Took me 90 days to get to 3rd interview. I was most successful when I wrote a cover letter touting how I would be an asset. Several of those companies reached out initially.
I have quit a lot of jobs because the companies standards did not meet mine. They pay the district managers a lot for doing nothing and do not acknowledge the people who are actually doing all the work. The ordering system at dollar general was the worst I have ever seen. Goodwill was awful, they hire people with disabilities and then a second later forget they have those and expect things they can't do. 7-11 was the best job I ever had out of all of them, I made over three thousand a month as a cashier. But after a few years and unfortunately working in a ghetto ass area I had to leave. Now I work from home and love it. Don't have to deal with people or rely on anyone else.
I've been a hiring manager and a senior guy helping out screening for a manager in tech. The pile of resumes is pretty crazy and the thing is finding the new guy is only one of the things you have to do, you still have your normal day to day work to do. That said it's not hard to cut them down, and it's ruthless but say I get 20 resumes a day I can't cut them down to 2 worth looking at in about 6min. Lots of obvious English errors and education from foreign university? rejected. Address on your resume (before remote work was popular) not in the same state or province? Rejected. Foreign work experience but non local: unless stellar sounding experience rejected. Helped that we had zero interest in helping with relocation or visa issues. You are here ready to work and obviously qualified or we just stop reading.
Great video I actually have a mentor because that was military retired and went to school and my civilian mentor actually call me that most of the jobs that are posted are fake or just ghost jobs. And I'm currently experiencing everything that this video is saying but I'm positive and I know in the long run everything's going to be okay but it's just going to take a little bit of time.
I've been on the job hunt since April 2023. Although I've been doing some part-time work lately, I still haven't landed a full-time job. Very frustrating.
I just watched a video where 3 employers said won't hire gen z as way too many bad experiences. I think Dr Phil was the one who interviewed gen z that showed exactly why
I feel like the entry level positions requiring 3+ years experience are really just looking for those with more than entry level experience to pay them less. 3+ yr experience and a lot of those jobs are paying under 60k
Find what you love to do, then find a way to get paid doing it... that's been my advuce for decades. That's why I'm a plump chef lol. Well was... a restaurant I worked for previously recently contacted me and offered me the entire restaurant (GM basically, official title is assistant director of food services at a local technical college) and the offered it to me bc of my personality, love for what I do, and how well I do it.
I would like to play devil's advocate and say this: at my company, over the last few years we've noticed that a young prospect is not willing to commit to the job for more than five years. This is usually the maximum, and they tend to leave even earlier than that. I have been with the same company since 1999. That being said, yes, companies are no longer as loyal to the people they employ, but the current young generation of workers always seem on the lookout for a better deal, even when their current job meets their needs.
Government should hire applicants who have been in student loan default the longest, with the most amount of debt. In default for 7 years, with a $400k balance? You probably deserve priority hire if the billionaires in private sector refuse to give you a chance.
Its not just a job role anymore, its a serious consuming commitment. I took a big paycut to pivot to a role withing my local goverment. Benefits are great, but they treat the new guys like shit, despite the skill and experience... For what i dwelled on my pay stub, like wtf is this.(benefits are half of what they were after biden)
If you need work go to a trade job. It is fiscally demanding but they always need more workers and most people do not want to do the work, long hours, usually working in the heat or cold, some have to climb ladders all day. I watched a video about union trade jobs. One of the highest paying is elevator worker unions. I say the easy thing is gig work, which does not pay much but you can make decent money if you are lucky, or go into business for yourself doing something. Doing what is the question.
I've been applying for over a year got lucky and got a contract job kept applying all the way through, it is ending soon no bites at all even fast food won't answer back 😑
Across the country youll find different trades making disparaging differences in wage. Low wage jobs should be categorized but as so, the middle waged should be union. Im a operating engineer n i wouldnt dare move to a city without skyscrapers as im here in nyc. Most other states id get paid 60k less.
In Scotland in my youth you could get apprenticeships much easier from secretaries to labour jobs now you need minimum 4 high grades to get in to any apprenticeship those who are better with their hands had no chance now he seems why trades are on decline and that puts costs up it’s such a mess the minimum wage for the young is a joke 18 year olds get much less but any now have homes how are they to do anything. Kids can’t leave home now a days can’t get on the property ladder. I feel so sorry for the youth of today. Lots of jobs perhaps but thousands going for each job it’s very hard.
I need 15 people we pay good and you learn a useful skill. The issue is everyone that i tell to come in and apply, i always get "Oh, I dont wanna do that."
I don't know, the people I know who are hard up for work are also very picky. Beggars can't be choosers. Well, I guess now that's all we've got and it's disgusting.
Instead of loosing my nut about the aweful grammer in the title, can someone please explain why this needs to be done as I see it everywhere. For once it's not just my pedantic nautre.
How much is impacted by people being unwilling to work from the office? At my company, It’s a hybrid environment and I had someone tell me that if the company required them to come in more than a few times a MONtH they would expect to be compensated about 50% more! Dude, It’s a customer service position. It’s worth about what you’re getting paid. He wants $65K for the position if it required him to come in. Crazy!
As a side not you need some different thumbnails my G . Not every thing is a cover face open mouth situation. So many vids you've created have that same expression it's hard to know which one is genuine worth watching. Just some food for thought. Tho you never asked
Learn a trade and never be out of work again. Sorry, you're gonna get a little dirty, you need to buy your own lunch, and you can't take naps on the clock. Other than that, you can make a great living - especially now. Plus, on the job training is almost always available. NO DEBT! Get paid to learn. Every area of the country and world is different, of course, but if you live anywhere near any kind of population center, there are many people who need things fixed.
@@tylerhunt8425 You missed my point. There are plenty of trade jobs that will hire you with no experience, especially now bc no one is going into the trades anymore. Like I said, every area is different so it may not be the case where you are.

Eventually in June I got a decent temp work and got hired within 4 days for a 5 month contract. You cannot stop applying for jobs even once you get one. Entry level is the new minimum wage.
Ive only gotten jobs via word of mouth, never via the internet.
Bro i got certs, an associate, and a bachelor, and all i got to show for it is debt and rejection emails.
if you don't have something to show 'i did this' - or pre existing relationships - you ain't making it, sorry. with software it's not that hard(resources wise) to have something to show that you made it, if your field is oceanliners then good luck.
@@lasskinn474it doesn’t even matter if you have a portfolio and experience. Get a reality check
Seems about right. Lost my disability because my wife works. Been trying to find a job for 4 months now. Can't even get a job at McDonalds or something as simple as bringing in shopping carts at a store. Ugh. And so many have silly requirements. I've been disabled my whole life, how am I expected to have 5 years experience before?
Stop being lazy disabled no excuse get to work you 😂😂😂 that’s the attitude of our governments plus you can’t talk to anyone now it’s all automated crap I am Scottish no one understands us 😂😂 hope things get better for you I know how hard it is ❤❤
Who wants to hire someone to do minimum wage, physically taxing work when they’ve been on disability all their life? Bad for business.
Didnt realize spouses' employment mattered w/ disab. Is this new?
Look at this way
At least you are married with kids
You can survive from them
Notice @ 16:44, the sign stated "Hiring up to $15 per hour!" with "up to" in small print.
Starting at a pittance of $9.40/hr
I get messages from recruiters several times a month. I mean, we're probably averaging 5 a month, if I were to estimate. And every single one of them reaches out to see if I'd be interested in more information. I respond with yes, and then never hear from them again. This has been going on for over a year.
I can't tell you how many fake advertisements are out there. Careerbuilder, Monster, and ZipRecruiter are full of them. Investing in a living, breathing headhunter may serve you better. Wishing you success on your job-hunting journey!
I once Applied for a Employment agency, those guys made me wait almost a year to say No
January 2023 - applied, 2 days later we haven't seen it
February - 1st interview
May - 2nd interview
July - 3rd interview and background check and pay for company ID
August - 4th interview and when can you start
September - Left my toxic job to then see Employment agency lied about even promise me a Job, and yea lost $70 lost and out of my job...
They want everything for minimal pay it's that simple
There’s job hiring but not enough pay for a grown person bills, more like jobs for teens high school/college.
My youngest has her Batchelors degree and the only work she can get if you want to call it that is unpaid interships so she can get that 3 years or more experience. Its ridiculous.
That said, she wont even put in an application to the local grocery store, Walmart, or McDonald's.
People need to do what they need to get work, hell do what I did and join the military, learn a trade and get experience.
Don't need any degrees or debt to be a laborer on a construction site. Nobody wants to do real work anymore, as a Carpenter of 20 years, I'm at a complete loss as to who is going to replace our aging and greatly diminished infrastructure workforce. There are almost no new people coming up, all old guard, at 38, I'm the young guy in the industry these days.
The level of disconnection from reality in your comment is insane.
Grocery store 🏬 jobs are better than you think 💭
@@PraveenSrJ01 you're right, but even if you lower your expectations it's still a bloodbath just to get the job.
It's shocking to me that 20% of all new college graduates are taking at least 1 parent with them to a job interview. Companies have been screening resumes for job keywords since 1999; I'm 66 and I've only worked for someone else 2.5 years in my entire adult life - I would rather work for myself doing something I am interested in even if it means I am not getting rich as long as I am able to pay my bills, take vacations if I want, and work the hours I want. With the internet, there is no reason for anyone to constantly be learning new things and broadening their skill stack. You only have one life, try not to spend most of it making someone else rich!
I’ve been jobless for months because this crap
I’ve also heard about companies posting “ghost jobs” where they’re not actually hiring but just so HR can look busy and the company can show to stakeholders “look we’re growing because we have all these jobs open”. When really they’re not hiring or already have a candidate in mind (usually internal).
Companies list dozens of jobs as open when they have none. This is done routinely.
When I first started working as a project designer, everywhere I went they wanted 5 years of experience. I was like well how do I get 5 years of experience if no one will hire me? I had to find a place that would hire me.
So I actually had 4 years experience when I graduated with my bachelor's degree. I got it by working part time for professors while studying full time. It gave me great connections and a leg up in the entry level applications. That said the number of positions requiring it now is crazy.
30 yrs experience in variety of software, systems etc but not certified! Took me 90 days to get to 3rd interview. I was most successful when I wrote a cover letter touting how I would be an asset. Several of those companies reached out initially.
Boomers: "Nobody is willing to work... for peanuts."
I have quit a lot of jobs because the companies standards did not meet mine. They pay the district managers a lot for doing nothing and do not acknowledge the people who are actually doing all the work. The ordering system at dollar general was the worst I have ever seen. Goodwill was awful, they hire people with disabilities and then a second later forget they have those and expect things they can't do. 7-11 was the best job I ever had out of all of them, I made over three thousand a month as a cashier. But after a few years and unfortunately working in a ghetto ass area I had to leave. Now I work from home and love it. Don't have to deal with people or rely on anyone else.
I've been a hiring manager and a senior guy helping out screening for a manager in tech. The pile of resumes is pretty crazy and the thing is finding the new guy is only one of the things you have to do, you still have your normal day to day work to do. That said it's not hard to cut them down, and it's ruthless but say I get 20 resumes a day I can't cut them down to 2 worth looking at in about 6min. Lots of obvious English errors and education from foreign university? rejected. Address on your resume (before remote work was popular) not in the same state or province? Rejected. Foreign work experience but non local: unless stellar sounding experience rejected. Helped that we had zero interest in helping with relocation or visa issues. You are here ready to work and obviously qualified or we just stop reading.
Find something you love ❤️ doing and have someone pay for it
Great video I actually have a mentor because that was military retired and went to school and my civilian mentor actually call me that most of the jobs that are posted are fake or just ghost jobs. And I'm currently experiencing everything that this video is saying but I'm positive and I know in the long run everything's going to be okay but it's just going to take a little bit of time.
I've been on the job hunt since April 2023. Although I've been doing some part-time work lately, I still haven't landed a full-time job. Very frustrating.
Moon is a great source!
Are you with Mr. boy be your own boss start your own business absolutely💯
Companies advertise for a purple squirrel. They then use that as justification to hire someone from overseas for low pay.
Job scams not surprising at all
You are definitely correct ☑️
I just watched a video where 3 employers said won't hire gen z as way too many bad experiences. I think Dr Phil was the one who interviewed gen z that showed exactly why
I feel like the entry level positions requiring 3+ years experience are really just looking for those with more than entry level experience to pay them less. 3+ yr experience and a lot of those jobs are paying under 60k
Find what you love to do, then find a way to get paid doing it... that's been my advuce for decades. That's why I'm a plump chef lol. Well was... a restaurant I worked for previously recently contacted me and offered me the entire restaurant (GM basically, official title is assistant director of food services at a local technical college) and the offered it to me bc of my personality, love for what I do, and how well I do it.
I would like to play devil's advocate and say this: at my company, over the last few years we've noticed that a young prospect is not willing to commit to the job for more than five years. This is usually the maximum, and they tend to leave even earlier than that. I have been with the same company since 1999. That being said, yes, companies are no longer as loyal to the people they employ, but the current young generation of workers always seem on the lookout for a better deal, even when their current job meets their needs.
If you stayed it the same company since 1999, I can almost guarantee you are now underpaid. You probably can make double somewhere else at this point.
Never had a problem finding a job I just used the temp agency’s when I was searching
Could care less what other ppl think broke is broke
Government should hire applicants who have been in student loan default the longest, with the most amount of debt.
In default for 7 years, with a $400k balance? You probably deserve priority hire if the billionaires in private sector refuse to give you a chance.
Its not just a job role anymore, its a serious consuming commitment.
I took a big paycut to pivot to a role withing my local goverment.
Benefits are great, but they treat the new guys like shit, despite the skill and experience...
For what i dwelled on my pay stub, like wtf is this.(benefits are half of what they were after biden)
Today, there are too many College Graduates. There are a only limited number of jobs that required a diploma in any given field.
If you need work go to a trade job. It is fiscally demanding but they always need more workers and most people do not want to do the work, long hours, usually working in the heat or cold, some have to climb ladders all day. I watched a video about union trade jobs. One of the highest paying is elevator worker unions. I say the easy thing is gig work, which does not pay much but you can make decent money if you are lucky, or go into business for yourself doing something. Doing what is the question.
No one ever mentions USAJOBS.
I've been applying for over a year got lucky and got a contract job kept applying all the way through, it is ending soon no bites at all even fast food won't answer back 😑
Across the country youll find different trades making disparaging differences in wage. Low wage jobs should be categorized but as so, the middle waged should be union. Im a operating engineer n i wouldnt dare move to a city without skyscrapers as im here in nyc. Most other states id get paid 60k less.
In Scotland in my youth you could get apprenticeships much easier from secretaries to labour jobs now you need minimum 4 high grades to get in to any apprenticeship those who are better with their hands had no chance now he seems why trades are on decline and that puts costs up it’s such a mess the minimum wage for the young is a joke 18 year olds get much less but any now have homes how are they to do anything. Kids can’t leave home now a days can’t get on the property ladder. I feel so sorry for the youth of today. Lots of jobs perhaps but thousands going for each job it’s very hard.
experience is something you have after you needed it.
Murica adds 100-200 thousand jobs each month for the last 10+ years.
Because they are listing but not hiring….
BECOUS IT IS A SMOCK SCEEN!
Instead of raising min wage... hiw about lowering the cost of everything
Your audio is 75% lower than the video... but great camera quality. Cheers...
We really don't have much of a choses we have to struggle more to get a job. Starting a business is unrealistic for me due to being a loser.
A trade can eliminate most of this. Most contractors are always looking for lead guys and quality help. The rich are still spending money
The create jobs and give it to H1B1 visas first then Americans get scraps
I was born and raised in the USA 🇺🇸
I was laid off in Mar 2024..been looking ever since. I have 20 plus years experience. I have had almost no replies to the MANY resumes I have sent.
If fell like getting highered in your 20 is hell, then early teens and 30 year Olds I could be wrong but that's what u see around my aria
I love the hypocrisy. If you put zero effort in how can you expect effort out?
What’s the score of the Usps does?🧐 💯
Im confused at how advertising works on TH-cam. This add was a movie add that had swearing and boob shots. Is that normal? Lol
Would love to watch this. But its ear destroying.
I need 15 people we pay good and you learn a useful skill. The issue is everyone that i tell to come in and apply, i always get "Oh, I dont wanna do that."
But for real. I have that PS shirt. What video game is on the back of it !
Any project manager here that knows if their company is hiring?
These 3+ interviews are horrible too. Why do you need to have 3 or more rounds??
I don't know, the people I know who are hard up for work are also very picky. Beggars can't be choosers. Well, I guess now that's all we've got and it's disgusting.
Illegals yo new bosses 🚬🍺
Instead of loosing my nut about the aweful grammer in the title, can someone please explain why this needs to be done as I see it everywhere. For once it's not just my pedantic nautre.
ive been unemployed for a year and i never got that entry-level job out of college. summa cum laude grad too
How much is impacted by people being unwilling to work from the office? At my company, It’s a hybrid environment and I had someone tell me that if the company required them to come in more than a few times a MONtH they would expect to be compensated about 50% more! Dude, It’s a customer service position. It’s worth about what you’re getting paid. He wants $65K for the position if it required him to come in. Crazy!
As a side not you need some different thumbnails my G . Not every thing is a cover face open mouth situation. So many vids you've created have that same expression it's hard to know which one is genuine worth watching. Just some food for thought. Tho you never asked
But I thought Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were good for America?!
What exactly will Trump do that is better than wreak revenge on his enemies?
I suspect because they are lazy. Tons of companies here in Valdosta Ga, which isn't a big city, are hiring.
You get experience by internships that don’t pay money you work there 3 years for free then you have 3 years experience 😊
Your supposed to be doing internships while attending college though not sleeping through class and partying
That's called backdoor slavery. People need to be paid to feed themselves and keep a roof over their heads.
Because people are hella lazy and getting government assistance
Add the illegals
I wish I was lazy and getting government assistance. It’s actually just mass formation psychosis
Learn a trade and never be out of work again. Sorry, you're gonna get a little dirty, you need to buy your own lunch, and you can't take naps on the clock. Other than that, you can make a great living - especially now. Plus, on the job training is almost always available. NO DEBT! Get paid to learn. Every area of the country and world is different, of course, but if you live anywhere near any kind of population center, there are many people who need things fixed.
Cant learn a trade cuz you cant get the entry level jobs to learn because they want you to have experience. Not everyone can do trade school either.
@@tylerhunt8425 You missed my point. There are plenty of trade jobs that will hire you with no experience, especially now bc no one is going into the trades anymore. Like I said, every area is different so it may not be the case where you are.
I’m going to guess many people are showing up tatted up with piercings and listing pronouns and even bringing their parents in to a job interview
Lol no
