That face when you followed all of the advice in this video and still didn't get a job after 2 years of searching for one full-time. Getting hired in this economy is mostly about luck rather than skill. Great channel though! I subscribed and look forward to watching more of your videos.
I went to some on-campus recruiting events recently and I gotta say all the jobs that I saw were either hot garbage or highly specialized government jobs that wont even let you apply without a degree in a specific field. it was worse than the job boards.
Trust me, I've been to some abysmal ones too. Sometimes the real value is just knowing which (types) of companies are willing to hire fresh college graduates. You know that "entry-level" MEANS entry-level when an organization is spending time, money, and human resources to recruit from a college. My first "big boy job" out of grad school was with a federal agency. I decided to quickly get out of that, but it did provide me with a salary and some lines on a resume that made it much easier to pivot into work that actually resonated with me. In today's economy, you should never try to find your "forever career" straight out of college. The first few years are for finding financial stability and then gaining enough skills and experiences that you can leverage for something better 3-5 years out. The happiest and most well-paid people I know are the ones who spent their 20s job hopping for career leverage.
I went to a career mixer and networking events in the past and they told me specifically to apply online. Most of them did accept my LinkedIn request though, after having an awkward forced conversations with them and asking them in the end "Can I add you on LinkedIn?".
I'd say if anybody is having trouble finding a job, then come drive a bus. It's fun, great pay, I don't work as much as other people; there are A TON of positions and you'll always have a job regardless of bad economy, A.I., a competitive market or whatever. In bus driving you could pretty much PICK your job. The only thing is you'll need a CDL. But, just work hard for a week or 2 and you'd have to get used to driving the bus (like you did when you started driving a car)! But, after a while, it'll feel like the same thing! And it's fun driving out in nature and beautiful scenery. And driving a bus can be as fun as playing a video game lol 🤣. And with the time I get off, I'm planning to go to Thailand this summer because I'll have plenty of time to; I just came from Mexico in December because of my time off AND I'm going to Colombia some time soon too. Instead going for a job where there is competition, consider pursuing a job where there is NO competition!!
Last week I spent 10 minutes perfecting my application for a job I really wanted, just to get an email response stating the position was already filled and that the job posting just hadn't been removed yet. Companies and recruiters want to be wowed by every single application but most of the time, as we all have acknowledged, applicants get ghosted regardless of how much time they spent on their application. Our time is just as valuable as theirs. If companies and recruiters want to act like this is Tinder, then we are going to treat it like it's Tinder.
ALWAYS ignore the exaggerated HR nonsense in job descriptions and just apply anyway (the exception being if there's something super obvious that disqualifies you - like not being a CPA). I work for a university. On paper, our job descriptions sound like we're super humans. In reality, universities are full of tons of complacent people who coast by for years without doing much (and, admittedly, a handful of super humans too lol). HR only makes the job descriptions look that way because they think they have to as a legal protection against getting "sued." If you're in a job where you 100% match the job description then you're wasting potential at best or leaving an insane amount of income on the table at worst.
Basically, hiring managers got super lazy and used bots to look for specific keywords that were not necessarily part of the job description. People then used bots to try to apply because the HR was lazy. All screwing people who apply for jobs that they are qualified for and may not have the hidden keywords in their resume. This also screws over mid-level applications the most because they no longer have access to the schools but get stuck trying to apply for 2-5 years of experience, but the HR bot only wants 7+, then they list the job as entry or mid, but everything has senior in the title. Your education, experience, and skills don't change, so why should they change from application to application? HR has a job to do, and that is to review applications, not some bot, and not pick out the one that lied to fit a cookie cutter. If they are exactly what they are looking for they should be tossed because no one will have the exact experience written in the posting. HR should have some dignity in getting this all done in a timely manner; they have a position to fill, and applicants need a job, so why spend 2-12 weeks?
I don't think its a mismatch between the company and the applicants as much as the culture and societal image of what a company wants from an employee. Thats the actual mismatch. And what I mean is job hiring in 2024 is feeling the butterfly effect of women/feminine concepts and hardwiring. Instead of the philosophy of we can build to the end goal of profits and raking in the cash. Most employers are chasing the short term returns not realizing their budget flow puts them outside of the bare requirements to get the best of the best. Its a situation of employers not realizing the bare minimum of benefits + salary/hr wage. Does NOT equal automatically the best employee. And it definitely will not translate to demanding experience if all the experienced people have already left the pool of hirable people. Its societal hypergamy essentially. Everyone wants to be the winner without putting any of the work in.
if you do your research and cater your resume to properly apply to prompts and key auto-words you have great success. I had close to an 80% response rate, and 40% offer, it's about using your experience to your advantage.
Did you or will you make a video on resume building / cover letters using GPT? Is it ideal? Will recruiters figure it out and hurt you if they see you use GPT for cover and resume building to their specific job post?
I'm planning to, yeah! The sparknotes version is that it *can* be effective to have AI build your resume or cover letter if you have the right prompts and information to feed it. Only you know what education, skills, and experiences you have. So long as you're feeding the AI enough information about what you bring to the table, then it can connect that to the job description. My general recommendation to students is that they maintain a "Master Resume" or CV. Some multi-page document that lists out and contextualizes EVERYTHING you've ever done that might be helpful for an employer to know. If you put something like that into GPT then it can pick and choose what's most relevant to the positions that you're applying to.
Not only is that possible - it's the norm! 73% of people end up in a different career than the one they studied or started out in. Even I transitioned from the biomedical industry into economics years ago. It's just about figuring out what your transferrable skills are and figuring out where opportunities in your target industry actually are. When you're writing a resume, for example, focus less on the job description-y side of your experiences. "What" you did is less important than "how" and "why." The skills you've used and the responsibilities that you've had are what will make you employable to a different industry. Look through job descriptions in your target roles and figure out what it is that the industry values. Then do everything that you can to "fit in" to the role. You'll already stand out from other candidates by having a different background than them - which is great! Your only job now is to prove that you have the education, skills, and/or experiences necessary to get started in a new capacity. Best of luck!
Sometimes you have to go old school. Physically go to the place and fill out an application / talk to the hiring manager. It also says a lot about someone willing to take their time and effort to go to a place rather than just shotgun their application all over the internet.
@@compositeur8455 Why don't you go ask the boomers who have a $1 million house paid off that they paid $10k for 40 years ago and brand new cars in the driveway with a fully funded retirement account how the "shake their hand and ask for a job" is working out for them, LMAO!!!!

I play a different game, if I find the company email, I just spam that. By doing this, I’ve gotten more responses and more interviews no issue.

What I really hate is that they are asking for a superman of a professional only to do mundane tasks (not all positions )

My favorite part was when NASA can't figure out how to sort resumes.

You are absolutely amazing my friend! You rock and you, the inspiration to do good!
Thank you!
@@UrgentlyFiring You don't need a job to make money. You need to provide a service or product that adds value or entertainment to society.
@@mortgageapprovals8933 I 100% agree! I'm a job market analyst for a big 4-year university, though, so that's what this channel is about!
There is a guy in the back ground song that’s like doo doo doo doo doo, and he’s very distracting.
What if I don't have a degree or I'm trying to enter a career other than my degree?

Then just threaten them until they give the job to you.

100% of the time they will tell you to apply online where you can be more easily ignored.
