I got refused a job at McDonalds when I was yonger because I had a college diploma in catering and had worked in a restaurant for a year previously. I got rejected by the manager because I would have a better career at a restaurant that paid more and I shouldn't waste my talent working at McDonalds. So instead of working at McDonalds I sat on welfare for 2 years because I couldn't get a job at a better restaurant and ended up working selling video games for 6 years on minimum wage. After that I decided to turn my photography hobby into a career, got a degree in it, got a job photographing schools and military and then got to photograph the Queen with the scots guards in 2017. It was great till I almost died from covid in 2020 and I am still recovering. Not sure if I'll ever work again tbh.
Gotta love how entitled companies can be
The whole "over qualified" thing is because they know that you know your worth and won't settle for the measly pay they're offering. They want someone with experience but not so much experience that you'll contest the low wage.
I remember my mom trying to get a job at nearby plants and their rule is, you can only get hired if you have family working there or have experience working there. Yet, there's people like me willing to work for something like that, and get nothing because they won't provide on the job training. Shit like that keeps up, and businesses like that will go under. And they'll wonder why no one wants to work for them.
Applied to work as a regular factory worker, got the job, got moved to the engineering department because they needed some people who can lift stuff, my supervisor realized I'm good at disassembling stuff and putting them back together without a manual, made me into a maintenance worker repairing stuff that often breaks down in the assembly line, got a lot of free time because of my work so I started making improvised stuff to make my troubleshooting job easier, got discovered by the management and now I'm an unlicensed engineer who is tasked to come up with stuff that can then be replicated by them and applied to other sister companies. I'm still basic salary rate. I kinda moved up the corporate ladder without actually moving up the corporate ladder.
American companies are scary with how much they can pay their way out of breaking the law. You did that level of shady crap out in the open in most developed countries you'd be done for as a business. Even Japanese companies aren't as corrupt as American ones. I feel for American workers.
I remember applying for an IT position about 4 years ago and part of the process was me recording myself answering questions in 30 seconds or less. By the fourth question, I said, "If this is how you're going to handle your interview process, good luck finding someone qualified for your standards." The questions were so broad that there was no way to properly answer them in 30 seconds. Companies these days are so dependent on automation to handle things like hiring that they no longer know how to actually evaluate candidates for jobs.
I can imagine more than half the companies out there, especially those in the U.S. who've grown so big that they're virtually untouchable, would crash and burn if they were properly legally punished for all their mismanagement and exploitation of the working force. If they operate solely on the assumption that they can get away with systematic deceit, slavery and theft, they shouldn't be allowed to stay in business. And frankly, no person who knows their worth should
This subreddit gets it that getting a job is actually hard.
That one King of the Hill episode about applying to 20 jobs and not getting a single callback is really hitting now that I’m an adult🥲🥲
The funniest thing to me about these entry level jobs is that they are in fact entry level, and the first thing they teach you in training is that your years of prior experience don't really mean anything to them. "7 years experience? Great buddy, here's how we do things here that counter all those years of experience we asked for! So those years of experience don't mean shit!"
"Never Give a Corporation The Benefit Of The Doubt" Wise words to live by.

I interviewed at Company X, after vacating a position at Company Y.
I'm currently jobless and have been for 9 months. I have applied for 33 jobs and tailored my cover letters to perfection for each role, but still got rejection after rejection. I recently got an interview for a mail sorting job, that I applied for sort of as "back-up". I maybe would like something more up my alley with my engineering degree than staring at addresses all day long. But beggars can't be choosers.
Whenever Robin has something to say about employers or work in general, I am aaaaaall ears. His cutting criticism is just so dang good and it lets him vent a lot of stress, so it's double the awesome.
This is exactly the reason why I hate job hunting. They have the most ridiculous job descriptions, qualifications, and give the "copy and paste" BS excuse that they found someone else who's a better candidate for the job. The shittiest is not get the TRAINING because they expect YOU to know a skill or two in an ENTRY-LEVEL job!
imagine having your retirement savings invested in these companies that spend billions of dollars trying to put a square peg in a round hole because they keep expecting it to work
For those one way video interviews, just set up a vtuber model. They're nowhere near as system heavy as you'd think if you can find a 2d model online, and you can use obs to fake a webcam.
I've worked in customer service/food industry/retail jobs for more than a decade. I've worked in a warehouse for two years. Everywhere I go, I'm told I'm
