HR exists solely to shield the company from lawsuits. That's it. It's not there to help employees.
Of course it is. Why else would a company have an hr department? Duh.
They are paid by the company not the employees its normal, but yeah the title can be misleading.
HR exists solely to finance itself. It's a vestigial organ of the corporate anatomy.
White a dopey blanket statement. Just because you've had trash HR dealings in the past doesn't mean all HR reps are bad or unhelpful.
Hr is there for upper management and mostly angry women @@amosburton
The only job security that actually exists lies in having a job nobody wants. Take it from somebody who does pest control.

That...actually checks out...
For instance Oil rig workers, the pay is awesome but God if I have to lose my ear to even get it is insane

@Joseph_14441apparently this job sucks
Aha, yes, this is true. I'm in an extremely female-dominated field as a man, but I take the nasty cases that no one else wants to touch, so I'm left alone. No one wants my job.

The worst thing about HR is when they are told to fire people due to budget cuts. Notice how whenever this happens, no one from HR gets fired. You know who does? All the hardest workers and ones who keep the company running. Never give HR people the power to fire others. Give it to the people who keep the company running. They know who is hurting the profits, and who is doing their jobs.
Its always HR thats hurtinf thw company

I worked at a retail clothing shop, and during one of the Xmas days I made 8k in sales during 8hr shift. Guess what it’s not commission based, just hourly wage. Guess what else, I was late for work once by 3 minutes. I was fired within two weeks. Btw, for the context, I was an international student who only could work 20hr/week (it’s a law), I never asked my parents for money, only tuition cus holy hell I am an absolute broke guy (tuition for internationals = 4x local)

Sometimes the people who keep the company running are just want to work hard and not into those kind of firing decisions.

Forgot to mention a lot of job postings aren't even real. Companies just make them so it looks like they're doing really well financially and growing.
THIS! Literally when I moved to Houston, TX. Jobs out there are nonexistent and if there are some they fkn pay shit. Majority of job postings were fake and some postings were scams, They would lead me on, just to get my information. Fast forward to 2024, I now have a letter from the IRS stating I owe taxes due to someone taking unemployment out in my name.
is it really?
@@Elriogranade yes they already have someone being hired but they can't legally not post a job listing so even if they like you and want to hire you they won't because it was rigged from the start.
And then the Government can report that according to these stats companies “can’t find enough candidates!” 😂 and are “desperate to hire” 😅
As a Recruiter, there's disgusting regular practices of creating a posting for a currently non-existent but frequently hired for position, creating a posting for a position or client that management is "confident" will be confirmed "soon", as well as posting for whatever that agency or Recruiter's primary focus is, so that whenever they do get an open position they will have fresh candidates in their system. For Agencies, that can be used as marketing to show prospective clients that they have X amount of "available" candidates in their system or that they are experts in a space or niche.
Another common and worthless strategy is for companies that use outside Agencies, they pay nothing or very little to have them submit candidates and only pay when they hire someone. That means they typically will have dozens of Agencies (usually based in New Jersey for some reason) who are all trying to fill the same 1 opening. This model means that for the Agencies to make money, they have to do a ton of volume. That's why you talk to the Recruiter once and they disappear. You're just a number and a game piece. As a rule, I avoid calls from New Jersey. 😁
the whole" nobody wants to work anymore " is missing the silent parenthesis "nobody wants to work ( for shitty ,below poverty level wages, have full time availability for a part hours and expect to put in harder work than people that make 100k or more) anymore

@@azorahigh3218 what on earth are you talking about you finished it that was the point?
I have received feedback that I was simultaneously overqualified for a junior position and underqualified for a senior position and therefore couldn't be hired despite the company being impressed by my past works. It sucks.
that's corporate talk for cousin of someone higher up is already filling this position
I live in San Francisco and my dead end job that you don't even need a high school diploma for took me about half a year to get. I have about 10 years of work experience for other stuff and Mc.Donalds will tell me to gtfo because most people with my kind of work experience will walk away if there was a disagreement with the supervisor. I don't have a degree so I can't get anything above. So I am basically stuck.
Agree, however that is changing a bit - during COVID people where job hoping non stop, and well it costs a company a lot of time and effort to onboard and get someone up to speed - and they got burned a lot during that short timeframe -
HOWEVER - With the economy slowing down companies are looking for the more over qualified people willing to work for less.
@@johnmcguire9831 and how is willing to work more for less a good thing?
at the end of the day if the company wont need you anymore, all the goodwill will be spat right back in your face if they deem it necessary to get rid of you
Same. One thing you can do is to go for the more Senior jobs in the hope that you're the most qualified applicant. It tends to be easier for a Manager to reduce the level of an opening because they can't find everything they want, than it is to increase the level.
Alternatively, some Managers need a Mid-level candidate but can only afford or get approval to hire a Junior. In that case you could be exactly what they're looking for and a great deal. You just have to convince them that you're more concerned about company and team fit than pay or title.
Although both of these are real situations I've seen as a Recruiter, they are completely anecdotal. It's still a damn crap shoot.
Lets face it, the "x years experience" for entry level jobs is due to two things:
1. They are looking for that golden goose. The one guy who fits all the criteria ( and should actually be in a higher position), works harder than everyone else, and has enough capability to run that department solo, but is so desperate to feed themselves they are willing to take scraps.
2. It is a fake job. Either they have someone internally they are going to hire or they don't actually have a job to fill, it is either just HR justifying their own existence, getting data on the current market to see what talent is out there, or it allows management being able to say "See here little wage slave, we are trying to bring someone else on but aren't finding anyone! Due to that, you are picking up the slack... by the way, we won't pay you more, good luck!"
Or 3. There’s a very specific person they’re trying to entice into applying for the position but for some reason can’t try to recruit them directly. They basically do everything *but* ask the person directly. Sounds really weird, but I’ve seen it happen twice now with tech jobs.
I can confirm all 3
Well if you have way to much qualified people competing for the job waiting for "golden goose" is viable play
@@Hainbane agreed, not bashing the practice, I can see it's practical value from a business perspective, but let's be honest, there is a limit where it is jus preposterous to keep those shenanigans going and overlook qualified candidates in favor of a golden goose that hasn't shown up.
If they are asking for multiple years experience it’s not entry level. It may be the lowest role at that employer, but it’s not entry level
I spent all of 2023 unemployed. It will completely wreck your life. My savings are gone, my bills are huge, my life is empty, I was practically shunned by friends and family, nobody offered any kind of help, nobody cared. I'm doing better now, and suddenly I exist to people again, but I want nothing to do with them because now I know how tenuous those relationships are. It completely fucked my head up.
I went through a similar situation some years ago. My biggest takeaway from it and something i have put a lot of time effort and money in to doing since is this: become as self reliant as you possibly can be. Backup plans for everything. If you only own 1 vehicle and need it to commute to work you damn well better change that and own 2 vehicles. Do not become reliant on needing help to get to work. You see what i am getting at. Any time you encounter a problem with which you need help after addressing said problem take steps to ensure you will not need help next time.
Buying a 2nd car just a backplan might be the dumbest thing I’ve heard today and I watched this video.
Went thru this as well. It really changes you forever.
@VengfulDreams
i imagine you are shunned by friends and family because you had to ask for help. It really sucks because just having to ask can destroy your soul and then people will avoid you because they dont want to have to tell you no.
Entry level positions that require years of experience is always the most frustrating thing to see.
They should not be called entry level
Idk if this was a joke, but I once heard "entry level" refers to your pay that you should expect, not the experience you need to get the job.
I can’t get a job because I need 20 years of experience and an engineering degree to work as a cart pusher at Walmart.
I saw a job listing for a Disney security guard once. They wanted a bachelors degree in a LE field, like forensics, plus minimum five years experience working security. Pay was $11.00 an hour. Grim.
I can tell as an actual (and unemployed) IT-Engineer that paper means jack & s**t.
Have that one degree but find yourself having that Ant man job
As long as you are a man you will always get opportunities
You don’t tho
Calling linkedin the 'World's largest corporate circle jerk' is so f*cking accurate lol
Indeed too...
I hate LinkedIn
I love how I convinced my hubby to register his profile in LinkedIn, me coming from IT, while he is an industry engineer, he smelled that bs quickly and after 1 year he told me that he deleted it 😂
200 application to get job? no no no.. 200 application to get a phone call.
Exactly and then to be ghosted
You get phone calls?
I was way above that. x) but i live in small town in Sweden and companies barely goes around in this tiny city.
just to get kindly rejected with words full of honey...
I can relate to that
When I was the hiring manager for an AT&T Branch I can guarantee coming in in person would give you a far greater chance of getting the job. Not because I think it shows character. But because my options are limited. I can spend the next 3 days going through digital application after digital application, praying that whoever I decide to call for an interview actually shows up. Side note over half of them don't show up at the interview. Or I can say "be here tomorrow for an interview". And that person will almost always show up. And unless their total freak, they have the job.
As mentioned earlier in the video. Most of the people applying for a job don't actually want to get hired. The person that puts on a suit and tie and walks into the business is probably in the exception. Ornat very least has parents that will make sure he shows up.
The worst part is, if you do get an interview, there’s usually 2-3 interviews total you’ll have to go thru to actually get the job. And a lot of companies do panel interviews where you feel like you’re being interrogated for murder.
those "2-3 interviews" is not true, it depends a lot on the job. As a software engineer you really have many interviews but i know many people that dont work in the same thing as me and most of them just have 1 and thats it. It depends a lot
My department does panel interviews. One by our management just to weed out the weirdos, then another with the team they'll be working with. After each interview, there is a short discussion between the team and management on the applicant. We understand it can be intimidating for the applicant, and it's time-consuming for us, but it is just so effective. Since we started doing it, almost all of our new hires have been phenomenal and our turnover is non-existent. We only ever lose people to other departments on occasion, which isn't much of a concern. Having the people who actually do the job have a say in who to hire makes a ton of sense for my department.
We have a challenging ever-changing job that requires you to be very self-sufficient and willing to learn things outside industry standards. So we really need strong employees so the team isn't stuck babysitting. If the job is something like a cashier or a "sandwich artist" I don't think comprehensive interviewing is needed at all. It pretty much "Do you have a pulse and can you show up on time?"
The amount of times interview 1 and 2 go really well, only for interview 3 to start and it be very apparent that the one doing the interview has absolutely not desire to hire you let alone even be doing the interview with you.
Omg yes. Took me by surprise when I was interviewed by 3 people in a small room. Each asking questions. I have adhd and autism. My poor brain that day.
I once had 3 interviews for a McDonald's job. I did not get the job.
God the most annoying thing about looking for a job is when they are just ads to steal and sell your info
Whenever a phone number or even an email is req to continue I stop immediately, tired of my damn phone blowing up from dumbass insurance companies
I just use my alt email. It's designated as my spam email for that purpose
@@user-uk1nw4lh6yTotally. And if you have your resume posted places, make sure it doesn’t include your phone, reg email, possibly even full name (use first and initial). If they want more info, they’ll ask.
@@humbleebumblee same her one email for social media and other activities. Another for my important stuff I don't want leaked.
Even worse is when they actually hire you and then you find yourself making ads to steal and sell people's info
I worked at a company and knew the HR people very well. They openly admitted to me that they are told to post jobs we have no intention of fill or dont even have, just so they we can resume farm, or in other cases look like a growing company to some big client. f--ked up.
That is so wrong to do, giving hope to people who are desperately hoping to get a job but it isn't available.
@@celestialblue7229 Its disgusting. I wasnt able to leave till I had something else lined up. But they talked about it like its normal in all fortune 500 companies. And I believe it is hearing stories like these.
So basically the industry is already in its death throes, and this is just elaborate theatre to trick investors into not ditching for as long as possible.
In AU you legally need to advertise certain jobs. So Hr will do this but have no intention on hiring an external person. They already have the internal candidate ready to go. So it is a huge waste of time for the people who apply, get an interview etc just so HR can tick a compliance box.
Ghost Job.
applying for a job is like applying for a pug raid in wow. You don't have your 860ilvl but even with 760ilvl you still outperform 90% of the competition that are 860ilvl. But you will never get the chance to raid since you can't get to 860ilvl because raid leaders don't wanna give you a chance because you don't have 860ilvl.
Facts in our country you will find the job already has a canidate so they are doing it to look that they followed all the proper process.
A good comparison. An addendum would be that pug leaders lead for 2 reasons: a) it gives them privilege(and it's a common knowledge if you if you can't join - host yourself); b) they want a quick and painless run. And it's not mutually exclusive - they want a rewarding and painless run. Because they aren't working their ass recruiting for no reason, right? It's they who have to manage the recruitment and leading, the rest just have to apply and follow. And they don't want to train or tolerate anyone. They don't care about anyone. They care about efficiency. They just have a checkbox. They do not plan for failure, they don't apply to hundreds of raids themselves.
Same goes for the employers, though it's a bit more complicated and the better comparison would be guilds, not pugs. But they effectively have to invest, to pay you. And nobody wants to pay anyone. If anyone gets anything - it's not a salary, it's proof that the person does more good than harm. Preferably - if the person actually brings profit. Higher profit than the position normally would. Or they agrees to a lower salary that would also improve the profits.
The capitalist system isn't made to employ people. It's designed to extract profits. But it's also designed to be free, because that's what the people want. They are free to apply to a bajillion jobs. They are free to win a golden ticket. Or to be unemployed and guilty for it.
The alternative no longer exists, but it used to. Where you'd be assigned a job after education. You can't choose it, and if you fail at it - it'll be worse than just failing random walmarts. But in return - you were guaranteed a job. The government was responsible for it. Not "you, trying to be an adult and cutting lines" as the commenters here seem to praise. Because we don't live in a tribe. But that system has failed and is no more.
WoW, on the other hand, never had such alternative. Perhaps LFR is the closest to it. Because the developers and the system can guarantee LFR... most of the time. And If they allowed blind pugs, not some raid\groupfinder with leaders and applications... It would blow up, because for every asshole leader there's a waste of slot noob.
Though there is hope for WoW or MMOs in general. Reducing trash or preventing respawns, including built-in communication, on the spot replacement and maybe even buffs for failure(remember, those who failed lost hours of their life that are more valuable than your pride of having exclusive leet epix).
But there's not much that can be done about employment. Not even if the system wasn't corrupt. Ironically - the only solution is once again similar to a game: Host\lead. Business is cornerstone of capitalism, and if a person knows how make money - they'll make money without the employers. And if they don't know how to make money - the employers sniff it from a mile away...
@@WirxawTanevCapitalism isn't about "extracting profits" it's about storing value.
When a company hires an employee, they do so to make money. They don't want to pay to develop someone that could just go across the street for more money the second they're trained up.
There's a trucking company called Swift, and they're known for hiring new people, training them, paying them shitty wages, then those newly trained drivers leave the second a real company will hire them.
In a high skill, high pressure environment, like something where regulation compliance is essential, it becomes prohibitively expensive to train people, and when you're trying to recoup your costs, they get offered a job at your competition doing the same thing for 20-30% more.
@@frankvonfrauner And that's a separate problem. Somehow actors and sportsmen have contracts and obligations.
You know, plenty of countries don't like training their people either. Why raise and teach a person just so they would migrate to some generic america to either benefit its businesses or even research?
And most important, the raid bosses in that pug drop loot of less than 860ilvl so there's the reward.
All that effort and it just boils down to nepotism. Went 6 months jobless and sent over 300 applications in which only received 12 replies and 6 interviews, all waste of time. Then, my cousin was getting promoted and they need a replacement for her position and she just got me there with 0 experience (engineering job, I was in IT Support) minimal interview, and job was braindead easy good pay. Felt so dirty and though about all the guys that are significantly more qualified than me, but my savings was non existent for 2 months already. What shocked me is that nepotism is actually encouraged even by big multinational companies like Microsoft. Most new employees in most companies came through nepotism.
But it makes sense tho if you think about it. The companies posting these job offers know their requirements are stupid. Either they will get someone excelent or hire someone through nepotism. If I work in a company and I say "my friend knows how to do this job well" I am personally vouching for that person. And it's like we can hire a random folk or someone, that one of our employees personally knows and trusts.
You expected different actions to be taken by the people who write the rule books?
Hire a complete stranger, who has more qualifications but you have no idea if they're coocoo or hire someone with a bit less experience but is vouched for by a current trusted employee.
The amount of people, hired (immedietly fired) at my job that turned out to be fucking batshit crazy is unreal.
@@norjae03 came here to say this. Businesses only do interviews to try and weed the crazies out and they still slip through the cracks.
Which is why the “hand shake plan” works so well. You get straight to the ”I’m not crazy, and I need a job” part of the interview before you even have an application in.
You think the nepotism is bad in the private sector, you should see what it’s like on the F/E/D side of the house.
HR is the only part of a company that doesn't benefit from having good employee's. Generally speaking HR's role is to suppress issues and keep people in line.
HR is there to protect the company imo
Keep your friends close, enemies closer, and HR well out of sight and earshot
@@FiascodiniOr at least that's what they want you to believe.
@@Fiascodiniof course it is. And to be fair to hr, there are a lot of crappy employees out there that can make life hell for everyone else. Thank God hr is there to deal with that crap.
HR is there to protect the company, but they are also human, they can fail to do the right thing because they have a bias.
They also can make bad decisions, mistakes, overworked-not enough time, not enough staff, too many complainers/complaints.
I saw multiple job postings where people wanted 12+ years experience in .NET Core technology. .NET core was released in 2016.
Nothing screams equality like being a cashier and getting paid less than somebody who can't make change for $1.
Doesn't matter. I've been a dev since vb5 and using .net since it was in beta. I never waited more than 2 weeks to get job offers until COVID. Now I'm going on 2 years with no job offers.
Well, of course any respectable .NET Core expert has been working two jobs in the field for 6 years! Didn’t you know?

He’s missed the mark badly at 5:42 - 9:01. I’m genuinely impressed when a carpenter/labourer/operator takes the time to stop by site, politely knock on my door, and lets me know that he or she looking for work. You can tell a lot about a person, in person, and a resume can be very dishonest/disingenuous. It just takes some of the guess work out of the hiring process.
Now, depending on my day I may only have a minute or two to talk, so there’s got to be a level of respect for eachother’s time during an unannounced drop in, but that in itself is a test of personality too.
The millionaire content creator pretending he knows what the work world looks like, just because he heard about ZipRecruiter in a Reddit ad, might not be it. Lol
It's very nice that you work a very mellow job and you appreciate every 2 minutes you can legally take a break and you can even judge a person in 2 random minutes out of nowhere. Miraculous. Suggest it to the government. Ban all the "nailing your CV to an email". Let Trump say on his rallies: "Go to your employer and ask for a job, each one of you. Make yourselves heard, you deserve it, you have the american right to it." Trump's gotta be bigger than some content creator, no? And such words would definitely suit him, he's an entrepreneur!
You'll have a lot more "2 minute breaks" to look forward to.
^this^ I agree with this! But according to the millionaire content creator, we are stupid right?
Yeah he’s not really had real jobs he landed his success here so he’s anti social and don’t understand good social behavior and the lack of companies to actually even look at an application often if you don’t say anything they get forgotten. In the real world it’s not about following systems it’s about doing what you need to do. He usually has good takes this is not one of them 😊
Yep, I also believe that was an awful take, just showed a total disconnection from the real world.
This proves that he never had to work a real job and also puts us in the mindset of those trust fund babies. He doesn't understand desperation and need because he's been lucky enough to just fly by life without ever having to care. 9/10 that guy that stopped by the job is gonna be easier to work with than the guy twiddling his thumbs waiting for a prom date (job Interview).

118 applications? Average software job has 1,800+ right now. You have zero idea how bad it is. "Learn to code" has resulted in a horde of idiots who couldn't engineer their way out of a box flooding job opportunities.
its more complicated than that. A huge problem is a tax issue called section 174 (R&E) expenditures. Its a part of the tax code that went into effect and signed under Trump and its killing the United States edge in tech and is causing companies to get taxed more. Software engineers are being classified as R&D which is costing companies $$ because of this bs law. The government won't leave the market alone. Both sides do this. Don't believe that the republicans are pro business because when you look at what they're actually doing you see stuff like this which hurts business.
as a software engineer, I get a lot of spam from recruiters giving me job offers. They are desperate. Everywhere I worked they offered referral programs where they give us thousands of dollars if we recommend someone and they hire them. There might be a lot of applicants, but the industry pays well because there is a lot of demand of qualified programmers and not a lot of actual real competition.
Also the student debt. I graduated without debt, but there are lots of people who have tons of debt who are more desperate than me that I have to compete with for a job.
@@xavil6341 What makes a qualified programmer? Experience? Education? I'm a blend of formally taught and self-taught but I don't have a CS degree. In a coding challenge that was supposed to take 90 minutes, it took me a whole day. It was a pathfinding problem, and I knew nothing about all of the different pathfinding algorithms or graph theory.
@@Kai-yx1eb Republicans don't like liberals which make up the majority of academia and silicon valley, so a hit on R&D is a hit on those types of people. Liberals on the other hand, are more likely to embrace R&D, but with the caveat that those people also have to support liberal social causes. I was at a scientific virtual conference around the time of the last election, an one of the European scientists hosting it just flat out said to the Americans congratulations for electing Biden. Like I would expect some professionalism and nonpartisanship from someone who was literally in charge of a conference.

Yo, facts. When my cousin was trying to get a job there, he got rejected the first time, so he colluded with a friend who was about to quit on how to persuade the manager.
Gonna just say that if you look up the test itself it's really not that bad. The length is kind of awe inspiring but the content is very easy. Like if you fail this questionnaire you probably shouldn't be employed at Wal Mart or maybe anywhere. Here's one example: During a busy time at the bakery you're chatting with your coworker. A customer comes and asks for help, should you A) Offer to help them B) Have them wait until your coworker finishes the story.
Keep in mind you also KNOW this is an employee screen when you are answering these and still chose that option. Would you employ the type of person that still fails? Be honest
This isn't even separating wheat from chaff more like separating wheat from dog turds
@@alanli6276 and then there's when you do everything right and still get rejected. Calling and a face-to-face interview is they way to go. The last place I did this at, even though I didn't get the initial job, contacted me weeks later to see if I wanted a different position.
@@alanli6276 ..... this is literally proving my point....
@@Ghost_of_93 My point is that noone should need to look up a guide for the test. The answers they are looking for should be so incredibly obvious to anyone remotely employable that if you fail you really should not be working there or anywhere. One of them literally is like 'if you see your coworker stealing should you report it or help them cover it up'.
If someone needs a 'raid guide' for this then that's simply amazing.

He forgot them saying bachelors degree required for all entree level jobs. As well as asking for your resume, then requiring you to make a login for their website just to have you write down your entire resume on their site despite giving it to them already. Then wanting a cover letter oriented for their position knowing damn well you don’t have the time for this.
Plus the most narcissistic ones asking for the "why are you psyched to work for us ?" answer. In programming, you also have the take home coding tests, which waste at least 2 hours of your time.

Coverletters r a waste of time. I don't do them anymore bc recruiters and hiring managers don't read them. If they require u to have 1, I don't even bother with the application anymore.
Having to do that shit on indeed pisses me off.
@@andreacamp936 I agree theyre frustrating but this is bad advice. Ive definitely gotten interviews because of a good cover letter.

Asmon is also discounting the value an employer might see out of someone proving they actually exist and are invested in that specific job, vs any online job application being a possible bot or being 1 of 100s an individual sent.

i'm very successful in my career and have been objectively more experienced than my peers at most any job i've ever had, because i started training for my job at 2 years old while they still thought computers were stupid. i loved it then and i love it now. i have never felt i was the main character, entitled, or anything else zach implied, but calling to speak to someone or walking into a place i wanted to work absolutely has netted me positions i wanted. it absolutely shows initiative, allows you to present yourself as something more than a list of bullets on a sheet of paper doing the bare minimum.. these analogies for 'cutting the line' and 'inappropriate place to apply' are complete bs from someone who has never held a corporate job. i would wax phophetic about how they are looking for drive, looking for people who think outside the box, some of which are true but the reality is this: the squeaky wheel gets the grease. i showed up. that means i wanted it more.

It's all in how you do it. It isn't bursting into an office and saying "I'm not leaving until you give me a job!"
It is more. Calling or stopping by when you were in the area and stating "I was curious if your company was expanding and needed..." "Or do you have any internships or volunteer positions..."

every job i have ever gotten i got because i was personable and sincerely interested in the interview, asked good questions, and followed. up.
follow up the very next day with an email thanking them for the interview by name, say something brief and nice about each person in the interview, and then follow up again in a week if they haven't gotten back to you since then.
you show them that you're eager, you want to start working, you want to do the job, and combine that with a good interview where you're happy and cheerful and sincerely interested in them and the work, excited to get started, you make yourself an easy top choice.
ALWAYS send the polite follow up email about 48 hours after application!

I disagree with his take 100% on being a respectful go getter. Call me a retard like he said all you want, but business owners/employers are not trying to hire average joes. They are trying to get the best value per dollar/hour out of a person. If you give them two qualified and equal options, one being the individual that went out of their way to make themselves known (respectfully and considerate) and the person who stayed in their basement after applying for the same job and having zero contact with that employer… you can do the math. No employer who is hiring for a position that needed to be filled yesterday, is going to sit there and be like “Well, Hugh waited in line the longest. Let’s hire them.” You are living in a fairy tale and as the young kids today would say… you are coping. If given two fantastic and equally employable candidates for the same job, who had the same interview, the same credentials, the same background, but one puts themselves out there respectfully, that person is going to win.
This is like trying to teach an introvert to be an extrovert. People who do not take chances, on average, do not benefit from the fruits of their labor. You have to believe you deserve and are worthy of what you want. This is not narcissism… this is evolution. You have to take what is yours or risk having none of it. Continue to sit around and do nothing and you shall continue to see the same EXACT results you are.
Failure is part of life. It’s what build character and allows you to respect the intricacies of our mundane existence. To be fair, most people, if given the opportunity would sit around and do nothing, especially if they have what they want. But that is not the world we live in. You have to trade your time for things you value. Most people will have to work almost their entire lives to live a life they find acceptable. The extraordinary are the ones that worked hard and smart. Obviously, not every single one has the same origin, but take some entrepreneurs with respectable beginnings and evaluate their success from the start of their journey. The groundwork has been laid with blood, sweat, and tears.
Do not sit here and believe that a streamer who has barely worked hard in their life dissuade you from seeing the unadulterated truth. As he prefaced, he may believe what he said to be unequivocally true without debate, but I am telling you as an “uneducated” millennial who has worked blue collar jobs since 15 years of age while playing World of Warcraft, I can confidently say, you can do almost anything if you put your mind to it.
TLDR: Asmon does not truly understand what it takes to make it as an average individual.
Yeah but some will outright tell you to appied online anyway
@@kyordannydelvalle523 then you tried… that is my point. You cannot just expect a job to land in your lap. You have to have give somewhat of a fuck to get one.

You're missing a huge point. If you put yourself out there respectfully, you lose out on time to apply to another job. It's less efficient and not worth it. It's not min-maxxing

I miss small businesses sometimes they had employers who actually cared
My first job was for a small company which made ultrasound probes, their "factory" was a bunch of strip mall stores next to each other which they leased. So glad that was my first job, the most down to earth real people, honestly not corporate at all. It's part of GE healthcare now and has gone corporate.
Thanks joe Biden they all closed down because rent went sky high
I miss when people didn't treat jobs like a social group. You go, you work, you get paid. The amount you get paid directly reflects the amount of effort you put into life.

Im 43 yrs old, and did not even graduate HS. I manage 16 agents in major student debt. I worked my way up from housekeeper to Owner accounts... its SUCH a scam. They screwed the kids over bad.
I got rejected by a companie bc i was not qualified enough for an apprentice job, apprentice where they learn people into the job even tho i had 4 months of exp. and was where good at it, and they took 1 and a half of a week to respond its a joke tbh. they think jobless people have all the time in the world i take care of my young sisters i cook and clean go out with the dogs 1-2h a day i help my mother buying grocheries, i dont have a job but ive seen people with jobs having less to do than me its so weird, i feel like i live in the matrix.
@@VolknsarrMatrix? Maybe you should join Hustlers university 😂
I swear to god, employers have some cheek to deny people with no experience a job that is literally stacking shelves, moving boxes or using excel. The amount of jobs I applied for is crazy, I'm not stupid but I don't have much experience. I wouldn't even get a "no", nevermind a interview.
Don't weorry they do it even when you have TOO MUCH experience
@@simonebernacchia5724 Because then they know you won't settle for garbage pay. Honestly there should be more regulation regarding job hunting. Companies should be obligated to inform you every time why was your application rejected, not leave you hanging when they are not interested in you.
This here. All I want is a part time job lmfao. Like Im an able bodied 20 year old that is on summer break, what makes me not qualified to stock shelves at Walgreens?
@@Zztp0pit’s very frustrating as a manager when you ask for a couple of years of experience and get flooded with hundreds upon hundreds of applications of people with none despite asking for it so they definitely don’t get a call. Then trying to sift through them to find the few people that do have experience and then narrow it down from there is kind of arduous. That is at least the reason I won’t give people the time of day.
@@DragonslayerT ya but I don't think I've ever come across a single job posting that didn't say it required experience or a degree, not a single one. Because companies are too free with saying "degree or equivalent experience required" everyone just has to apply to every job, even if they're not qualified for it, because we're not qualified for any of them because the entry level qualifications are not entry level. Like, market your job as mid level if you require experience, don't have it listed as entry level because then entry level people will apply.
The majority of unfilled positions are either fake to drive up competition, unpaid internships, part time to avoid giving benefits, or require absurd qualifications for an entry level position. I have been rejected from grocery stores and manual labor for being overqualified (they wanted people that would stay in the company and not just work for some time to get money and a better job). While also being underqualified for all positions my degree is made for. And that is with a masters degree in engineering (not useless social sciences), as they require 5+ years of experience for an entry level position and over 100 applications and only 2 interviews that failed in the first round.
The job market is broken.

7 years of IT experience.
Loss my job due to a company merger.
Spending the past 4 month trying to get a new one.
Closing into 1200 applications.
find where some of your colleagues went and ask them to recommend you for the job.
Don't forget the certifications that they required only for that cert to be de-valued.
Congrats. You are 1200 applications closer to a job offer.
Fuck dude… that’s awful. I got my job due to recommendation from a family member who’d worked there some years. Doesn’t pay very well but at least it was easy. I’m starting to get worried that I won’t be able to get a better job now 😅
bruh how.... you're clearly doing something wrong no offence.
IT jobs in a nutshell
-look for entry level job
-entry level job requires 2 years of experience
-need to find entry level job for experience
-repeat the cycle
It works both ways. Nobody with 2 years of experience is going to apply for an entry level job. It's a BS requirement, it's just there for HR reasons.
The best advice I can give you is to just lie.
99% of jobs require a fraction of the stated requirements. You'll do fine once you're in.
Lie and try to get an internship in the meantime
Get a trade job.
- start at 18
- Pay 5000 dollars to go to community college and learn a trade
- Get a trade job that pays more than most entry level jobs in IT
- gain skill, then get paid more
- eventually break off from your employer and make your own company making a very, very comfortable amount of money.
- be smart with your money and investments and retire early.
Not to mention job sites are full of scammers
I love how Asmon is all "people need to follow the system to apply" and also "OMG, can you imagine having to deal with this?" 😂
You can still use the old way. Just not with technical jobs.
Do not show up at the tech company.
Do show up at the construction company.
Idk about the construction company. I would always see people ask my foreman at jobsites for jobs and he would tell them to go to the company and apply in person
@@Diiv_Tiid that's why I wrote it this way.
As a construction worker, I’m not so sure about that.
I just did this for 2 separate well drilling companies in America within the last 3 months. I received a job offer.
This will get you into places but don't expect to start a high starting salary with this strategy.
Steel Toed Boots and a belt.
being jobless first is relaxing, but panic sets in when you realize you spent money without money coming in.. Thats reality
Yup took me about 4 months to find another job was dead broke almost when I found another one, last month was nothing but stress. Lot of grifters on youtube telling people to buy land and live off grid and such and then they go around showing off their 100k home and 20k solar grid like how do people think they got that? Another is telling people to start their own businesses which costs money to begin with I am a carpenter by trade and have done my own stuff tools alone will run a small fortune and that isn't the hardest part it is actually finding jobs, people are broke they aren't out there spending tons of money remodeling homes or adding new additions the most I was finding was fix it work and they only want the bare minimum done at the cheapest it can be done they just cannot afford anything else.
It took 116 applications before I landed my current job last year. The process of searching for jobs today is unbearable. I feel sorry for anyone who is job hunting.

Ah yes the man who has never worked a job saying you're stupid if you go to a job in person to let them know you applied and are interested in the job because your five min conversation with the manager "disrupts the store"
Yeah, it’s a shame he said that because it’s going to dissuade so many young people from trying. Survivorship bias is a hellofadrug.
@@YinVisions Let's say there's 10 people who apply for a single job position. Nine watch and believe Zack. The remaining person is a gogetter who doesn't waste time on podcasts. Isn't that perfect? The deserving man got the job. And no harm was done.
Now let's say that Zack tells people to believe in themselves. To always go to any lengths to pursue their dreams, be the main character of your story, all Disney and such. Try everything(c.Zootopia).
Then what? Would that tight one man job opening stretch to fit 10 people? Or would those gogetters have to decide among themselves who's gonna get the job? See, it's easy when you are anon. People do crazy shit even in anon environment. They dox and smear.
But let's say that ten people actually go to work on getting a job. There may be a chance that they'll just play who's the best wh0re. Those deserving gogetters. Sucking ds and bribing and otherwise being deserving. Or maybe they'll improve their chances by thinning out the competition. Worst case they may just know who took their job opportunity from them. Competitive people are nasty even in games, in life things are uglier.
Who's going to win then? And let's say it's all fine. People nowadays are sterile. Employment isn't Black Friday, you don't have to beat your way through a crowd. So that person would just know two things: "he's a loser" and "Zack is a liar". Not every person has the brick face to hit his face on the brick wall forever and feel nothing. Otherwise they'd find AMPLE employment as call operators. Some people are traumatized from "no" from a girl. And here you want people to give their soul, their best to an employer and still be spat on?
Would you take the responsibility for the consequences? I don't think Zack wants to. So, intentionally or instinctively, as a neet, he suggests the "safe" option for people. Because there is no harm in that. Not any more than there could be.
Because there is, at the end of the day, ONLY ONE JOB POSITION. And even that isn't always legit, if many of local comments are of any indication.
TL;DR: The "go-getter" position works when there's at least an equal amount of job offers and job seekers. When the employer can sit on it and choose the better gogetter. But when there's far more people applying than there are job offers - there will ALWAYS be losers. There's no point to make them sore losers.

My parents wouldn't believe me in 2008 when I told them job applications were online now and not in person... I would get locked out of the house for the day so I could be "out applying for jobs"... These are the same type of parents who told me to "quit playing around with computers or you will never get anywhere in life"... Yeah I wish I stuck with my A+ and Comp TIA courses. I even learned Python in high school because I had an interest in game development. During a career day my freshman year, I met a guy who made a great living as a quest writer for a new game coming out called Dungeons & Dragons Online and it really inspired me. Instead I've been doing physical labor trades like roofing, carpentry, concrete, heavy equipment operation and even an ASE mechanic for slightly more than minimum wage for the past 15+ years... I've built entire houses for $12 an hour... Stick to your dreams and goals otherwise your dreams just become hobbies.
In 2008 applying in person wqs still more or less the norm tho. Smartphones weren't even widespread back then, many people didn't even have a computer.
At least you get a job. Had you tried for that developer position, you may actually be stuck in the same vicious circle that video was talking about.
the grass is always greener on the other side... imho its better to have a "job" youre good at and have hobbies than turning your hobby to a job. Most people end up hating their job and to an extent the hobby itself
Mine started charging me rent immediately after high school. They were firm handshake believers as well. Mind you I had no car, or cell phone and lived a 15 minute drive to the nearest business.
Trust me, you do not want to make your dreams your job. You enjoyed those things because you were doing them on your own time and doing what you wanted. You would not have enjoyed coding python for 8 to 12 hours day working on projects you gave no shits about. You would not ALWAYS be working on some new cool game that you liked. That is not how it works at all, with anything.
You use the hobby you had previously enjoyed to projects for other people. To their standards. For their purposes. You have deadlines. Instead of fun you get stress. You will no longer even want to do it in your free time. You will need to find new hobbies.
The biggest job postings that piss me off are the ones that claim 'Urgently Hiring' or 'Accurately Responds in X amount of Days.' I apply and I never receive a single message from you. Even a 'Sorry, you weren't selected' would be better than NOTHING!
I saw a solicitor's assistant job that had been advertised for 2 months, the requirements were a bit high, but I went for it. After a month, I assumed I didn't get it, another month later, I got an e-mail informing me I didn't get the job.
Nothing is 99% of the answers you can get.
@@UltimateGattai Earlier this year I got an email from a company I had applied at three years ago asking if I would be interested in an interview. I saved it so I can respond in 2027.
I used to work at a company that filed all postings with claims like that.
We actually had the slowest hiring process imaginable. We struggled to attract talent despite paying decently well, because by the time we would send out the invite most good candidates were already gone.

There's some aspects of jobs people enjoy. Usually they are called careers where people are progressing along a path and have a personal stake in what they do. Unfortunately careers now are more unstable than ever with low employee retention so even that is a fairly legacy idea.

These jobs exist ONLY hypothetically to increase the company stock value by showing "growth"
“If I was the employer and someone walked in to apply I’d see that as a sign of narcissism/main character syndrome. There are proper channels you have to do through” (which require you to fill out hundreds of applications to even have a chance)
*5 minutes later*
“I’ve never made a linked in profile”
He never had to sell his services to anyone for a living or apply for a job after making it big on TH-cam.
You know damn well if he was looking for a job, he would brag about no one else goes to ask about their application and he got a job by doing that. He just sounds mad that people keep asking him about something they want.
The guy who logs into a game and immediately starts begging for hand outs is saying other people have main character syndrome? 😂
HIs take on this is incredibly naive. "Proper channels" for job hunting is like "proper channels" for dating. All channels that are legal, are "proper".
What he sees as a "sign of narcissism/main character syndrome", may be seen as a "sign of dedication and hard work" by others.
@@JR-wf5kgAsmond explained that in the video...
@@tonig2757 It depends, if it's a mom and dad pop shop sure they might be willing to deal with you in person. If it's a corporate job then that system is in place to filter people out, they just toss your resume if you bring it in person...
I've been unemployed for the past 4 years. I've had 3 jobs in my entire life. All of those jobs I got from going to a location in person and inquiring about employment. Every single time, I got hired. I've also applied to hundreds if not close to a thousand jobs on a variety of job application websites. Not a single one has replied back, not even a "thank you for applying".
I'm now in the process of starting my own business.
Yeah its wild how Asmon was saying you're going to fail by showing up in person asking if theres any positions open and anyone accepting resumes.
My past 5 jobs were from doing that, now after 2020 I'm told to just apply online and despite all my experience in a handful of job categories. All I hear is crickets after a year and a half of sending over 600+ applications. I'm honestly thinking online applications are a waste of time and going back to the old fashioned "walk in and ask" again as it never failed me.
Having 14 years experience split evenly between 2 in physically demanding manual labour and online applications getting me nowhere is a complete joke.
Good for you, and good luck.
Godspeed my man
Exact my experience or at least making a phone call to said company, shit take from asmon about saying “main character syndrome” just because you inquire about the job in person lol
Yep, old school is working up to the job and inquiring about openings and establishing camaraderie with the employees.
Also, that’s another thing is everyone wants to go work for someone like a drone. Start up something for yourself or with others. It may have to start as non profit or no profit like the vast majority of businesses.
I’ve spent 8 years in the military, got deployed, went to college, and am still getting paid 15$ an hour in my chosen field. Trust me It’s not just you we are all getting underpaid and under appreciated for our jobs skills. It’s honestly hard to think the American dream is nothing but a dream now.
That’s the problem, “you’re chosen field.” You have to beef up your skill set for jobs that pay well.
These are not really qualifications.

Asmongold has it good, preach things he truly doesn't have a grasp on, that's why many persons as possible shouldn't take him seriously
Yeah but unfortunetely some kids will take what he advices as a fact, he is wrong here.
He really has this weird view of non tolerance at all, he is like me 10 years ago, but we are the same age.
I couldn't get through his take on submitting an application in person. The amount of delusion was too much. Passing on the rest of this one. Thinks he's a fucking psychologist all of a sudden.
I remeber when I was a youngin back in 2006-2008 when I was starting my first jobs WITH ZERO experience, I'd only have to apply at maybe 2-3 jobs, and I'd get a call back AND interview and the job like clock work every time. It was super easy to find work. NOW with 12 years of ware house experience in CNC maching/Welding/Fabrication, multiple vocational dipomas and certifications, AND BEING EX MILITARY I have to apply at HUNDREDS of jobs just like this videos says, and I don't hear SHIT from anyone.

Usually agree with Asmon but at 5:50 that's an L take. I'm not speaking for all but I have been applying for a second job for at least 4 months now, minimum of 350 applications have gone out. Indeed, craigslist, everything. And I can't get anything. So if I go in with a resume and say if you have an opening it's not thinking you are the main character, it's being desperate trying to do whatever you can to land a job. Especially since it is proven that Indeed uses AI to filter out resume's now.
Yeah, this is probably one of the worst work takes I've heard. Because of how bad online applications have gotten. Sometimes, just going in, shaking hands, and leaving a resume can work wonders. I have an 80k/year job because of it, and I don't think I'm a main character.
Yeah I completely disagree. in most scenarios I think it shows initiative. It doesn’t work with every job, but it sure as shit does for anything construction related.
I can, with ground, guarantee you that somewhere between 70-80% of job applications sent through the bigger digital platforms are not even seen by any recruiter, and just filtered out by AI in the first step of the hiring pipeline. It's the reason why "how to build a resume" guides have become a thing, cause people started figuring out both the visual and informational aspects that the models prioritize when moving candidates past this first step.
Asmon lives in a bubble. He has earned enough money to retire just from streaming. He's very far removed from the struggle of the average person.
Your resume simply isn't good enough to get pass the filters.
The last interview I did, the questions had absolutely nothing to do with the actually job. Every question was a hypothetical question about how you would react to certain situations, mostly how you would support management saving face.
The Walmart one fits this exactly. What's your response to getting an internal phone call while in the middle of working someone. Here's one. Upper management is presenting an award to a person who was not the one who should get it, what do you do.
It takes more than 400 applications to get a possible job, and that's coming from an engineer graduate from a top 2 university in the U.S. There was a time when the name of the university on your resume would guarantee you a job, but that time is far gone. The industry where you major will push you into matters. For instance, the tech industry does not operate on the same basis as other industries because it relies on venture capitalism and will cut projects and people on bulk when the economy or the stock fall. The job security in these sectors is really unreliable nowadays. Any graduate pass 2022 and trying to get into the tech industry, must have heavy connections and connections always outweighs experience because even experience like internships is no longer a guarantee for job in that shit show.
I'm sorry to say but with the boom of population and more diploma mill out there, the competition has increased by who knows how many folds. What's worse? The housing and resources aren't increasing to compensate this exponentially difficult competition. It's almost like a dystopian at this point.
I love hearing how out of touch Asmongold’s life is with the day to day depressing state of American society. Not as an insult, but as a benchmark since he lives like a normal person in a normal city. It’s so inspiring, and I hope to be there one day.
I wouldnt say he lives a normal life so to speak. Most people wouldn't sperg out live for the fun of it even if they had millions. We're just lucky that Asmon loves to do it.
Define "normal".
No he does not live like a normal person
Normal means living paycheck to the 1-7 days b4 the next paycheck
If you think he lives a normal life, yall need to take a real look in the mirror…. There is nothing normal about his life in many aspects. Is he relatable with some things? Absolutely! But to say he lives like you or me on a daily basis is a gross misrepresentation of the average person.
He doesn't even count time like a normal person. He delineates time via WoW expansions.
Makes perfect sense. I might not remember which exact year I worked at a given place, but I remember which game I was playing at the time.
I do the same but with each edition of 40k, its a good system
Talk to some old people and ask about a previous time in their life most of the time they remember the president who was in office when whatever it was was going on same way asmon remembers stuff by which wow expansion was out. Expansions are his presidents.
TBH time just kinda started to blur for me after about 25-30. The only reason I even know what day of the week it is is because of work :D.
@@Ralathar44 I've gotten up to go to work on weekends before. I used to be able to _feel_ the day of the week.
Imagine going through all of the job interviews, then fulfilling all of their requests and centering your entire life around them, only to be immediately fired without any prior notice. No job security what so ever.
Imagine having to hire people without knowing they can do the job in the first place! If you got fired, it's because of you, your boss isn't your mommy.
@@hlaw2830calm down, karen
you completed the lemming role.. why would a company want to keep another lemming?
Thats why you don't have any loyalties to your employer. If someone else has a better deal take it.
@@hlaw2830there bull, people get fired for reasons other than performance. I know first hand.
It’s a struggle out there for sure. The job market feels like a never-ending cycle of disappointment. It’s frustrating to see high expectations for entry-level positions, and the hoops we have to jump through just to get an interview are ridiculous. You're definitely not alone in this chaos.
The real issue is people care more about appearances than reality.
At my last job interview, I took notes about the position and the recruiter who was sitting in on the interview told me I was being unprofessional 😂😂😂
And then then next interview you have "aren't you going to write this down? hmm"
Just how shit is sadly. If you are very outgoing some recruiters will see it as a good thing whereas some will see it as you being fake. You just have to keep doing it until all the factors align magically
@@nlnu1337they probably think their boss and everyone who runs the country is “fake”. That is why they have the job that they do. They can’t take a hint from seeing what works due to their false virtue.
Social media is bad for the job market. Feeds the weird notion that everyone has to be squeaky clean. Never said a curse word, never made a mistake, never made an out of pocket joke.
I'm a senior dev with 9 years of experience and I was looking for a job after 4 years. The interviews are getting crazy, personality tests, whole day assignments, meet and greet with the whole company, only to get a lowball offer.
Im seeing the same thing and I am a full stack dev with 22 years experience. I've even said I'll take as low as 100k. I haven't worked for less than 160k for the last 10 years.
@@StTrina in USA? Even 100k here in the netherlands is insanely high for a senior dev
@@sqwop2773 if you have 20 or 15 years of experience they have to pay you exponentially more money.
>life was easy when nerds were rare and now I have to compete with people who are better than me!
Narcissistism.
that happens when there are 100k devs looking for work. Be unique, not a borg.
I don’t mind people applying in person. Because the online thing. People just fire off applications without actually wanting to have the position. It shows me they want the job. And I actually employ people
I remember when i was job searching alot of places would tell me they only take online applications so that might have to do with less people physically coming in
Asmon’s comments come from his constant exposure to online weirdos.
I also agree that in-person interactions are better for finding a job. It’s what I did.
I think everything depends on the industry, i work as an electrician in new constructions and every company i interact with is like, call me have two hands and a half functioning brain and you get a 17 to 20 an hour and with overtime you are making close to 60k after taxes
When people apply in person, they either get you or asmongold. It's a roll of a dice.
@deleted01 i dont know who is good or bad in that example 🤣🤣🤣
The job market was fucked when I got a job, yet now I learn its twice as bad now? No wonder other millenials are despairing. This is utter shit
No point hurting yourself giving 100% to a job for wages that'll never be enough to live comfortably, start a family, or own a home
Millennial? Try being a fresh graduate right now. Atleast millennials have experience under their belt.
I think you mean gen a. Millennials are in their forties right now.
@@toasterbath7152same, got the portfolio but most jobs asf for a few years atleast
HR should be replaced by a boxing ring and a lawyer. lawyer to protect the company, boxing ring to settle disputes
I’ve gotten 1 job from walking in and talking to the manager. Every other time I’ve tried that, it has been the most awkward shit ever. It’s just “yea you can apply online sure I’ll take your resume, don’t forget to apply online!” There’s 0 room to assert yourself or make any other impression than “that guy was weird and pushy!” Or “I’ve already forgotten that guy but maybe he applies online and we’ll see what the algorithm thinks!
Opening LinkedIn makes me physically want to either punch ly screen or run away. The amount of corporate cringe is off the charts. Also, all my colleagues try to make it look like they are the CEO.
Same. If not for job search i would have quit that leftist cancer social media just like i did with everything else
