Working as an HR recruiter, it is really demoralizing. The company I work for now pays me to interview people to "get the company name out there" even though we don't have positions available. I'm staying to make sure I qualify for maternity leave which I plan to take in 3 months. I hate talking to great people with ambition and the exact skill sets we're "looking for" and then having to reject them, pretending we picked a different candidate when in reality nobody was hired.

The issue is that, for me personally, I’m a horrible worker. How can people like me find a job without experience? I need something to start and learn. It wouldn’t shock me if like college I’ll start to have to pay them for experience 🥺 my last job, they said I wasn’t good enough. A minimum wage job. Also, sorta related, if there were no minimum wage, I’d work for below living wage if it means I can find work. The minimum wage is like a barrier. Literally couldn’t get a job because the company doesn’t want to pay the minimum wage of my state (online job, offers jobs basically everywhere except my state). I’m low skill. I saw a sign posting with a phone number where a person was begging for a job, ANY job, and they’ll take $10/hr which is $5 below minimum wage (livable wage where I live is $21.24). If I do a job for, let’s say, $5/hr, then I can work alongside people getting $15/hr and doing 1/3 less of the work because I’m bad, it won’t be a barrier anymore.

One of which was a manager who claimed there was a position and to call him back, but didn’t answer any of my calls, and essentially ghosted me. Nobody wants to work but nobody wants to give new hires chances and nobody wants anything less than a degree. It was so demoralising and upsetting, and it was a massive relief that the 3rd interview went well.

If you want a professional or management position the application process is more comprehensive and difficult.

I’m 21 and experiencing this. What I see nowadays is people in our generation opting for certificate programs that don’t take a long time to complete and they get out and start working. Most of the programs are at community colleges and some have high earning potential and some not so much but they aren’t super expensive and most are in-demand fields and the programs guarantee job placements afterwards. I think with the current economy, this is the reality for a lot of gen z. It’s not a bad route to take but I can see how some choose it mostly to make sure they have a secure job and good pay without going into debt. I also see lots of people going into trades and nursing and I think it’s great!! For people of our generation who want a chance to use their degree and talents though, it seems like it’s just not happening for most of us. Our generation just has to do what we gotta do to survive if we want to live on our own someday. Our generation is very resilient despite what they make us out to be.

Oh my goodness, i swear i just got one recently her in October. It was for a cleaning place in Ohio ONLY, but I live in Indiana. Usually when i fill out applications I look up the address to see exactly where the place is located and the only thing that they gave me for an address was my city, state, and zip code. They texted me asking me if i would like to move forward in the hiring process but i said i needed an address first. Never got a response to that. 🙄 I reported the job on indeed so hopefully they'll remove their posting.

Job hunting is a joke, Some companies want you focused and not branching out like you did in your other jobs, some companies want you to be a generalist and not pigeonholed like you were in your other job. The lady who had ten years experience, companies will say your overqualified. LIke in the video some companies are not even hiring but they are interviewing. Doing projects for a company is like doing their work for free. With each candidate is new blood and new ideas and they did not have to pay for it. Basically: It's not what you know, it's who you inow

Perhaps you are applying for jobs above your grade. Not to demean you, not at all. But there are a ton of entry jobs. Sometimes the best way in is through the front door, not the balcony. Everyone wants to make top dollar and come in at a level they see themselves at. Far fewer are willing to come in on the ground level, prove themselves, and become critical to the company. No one wants to work, they just want to be paid.

But at least if you 'damned if you do', you have the opportunity to go somewhere in the field you would like. Life's hard. Everyone thinks their Instagram style influence will get them somewhere. I've worked three jobs, seven days a week, making obviously major personal and social life sacrifices to get into the field I'm in. It took two years of hard perseverance and now I'm thankfully making nearly triple what I was working those three jobs. True, not ALL can make that sort of commitment or sacrifice, but i would wager more than you would think could, but choose not to because it's not what they want to do. They are unwilling to make the effort to improve their lives. They simply want to be handed it and most employers can smell this. They interview dozens, if not hundreds of people.

8:55 This gets super nutty in Software Engineering. Recruiter: "They'd like you to do a small homework assignment. Should only take about 3-4 hours." After reading the instructions you realize it'll probably take 4-6 hours just for something heinous that you'd rather not turn in and about 6-9 hours (over a full day maybe) for anything you that you'd be proud to turn in to set you apart and shine. So, yeah... I'm gonna do that for EVERY candidate I'm interviewing for??? Definitely NOT. What's worse: even when it's a more bite-size homework assignment (but ESPECIALLY for the 6+ hour ones) they oftentimes want you to complete it BEFORE THEY EVEN GIVE YOU THE LIGHT OF DAY. So many times I've had the feeling that I crushed it, even on time, and somebody just didn't like that I used semicolons (or something super duper superficial) and just said "Nah! Don't like 'em! Next!". Even worse is when they say "so we don't believe in these silly Toy Algorithm Problems... We're going to have you work on a bug that actually currently exists in our production environment". First off, you know they may just be using you to get their own work done without any intention to actually hire you. But half the time you ask them all the right questions that they, themselves, can't even answer to help you break the problem down or JUST to identify the problem at all. It's crazy. But then, again, if they had any clue about the bug then they would've solved it themselves! WHAT I DO Basically, when I'm interviewing with 15 companies a week and they all (or most) want to give a homework assignment, I tell them / the recruiter: "I'd really love to sink my teeth into this assignment but I am interviewing with several other companies. If I accepted assignments of this scale from half of them I wouldn't have any time to interview with the other half who IS giving me the light of day". Then I make them give me a more practical sized assignment that can be done (WELL) in 2 hours and then I only accept 2-3 of those assignments so that I can actually get to bed on time to be performant enough for interviews the next day. I also make sure that any I spend homework time on before seeing the light of day are ones that are more likely to pay out much more. Because it's a much higher risk for those assignments the reward should reflect that. But that's part of their strategy: be the squeakiest wheel so that you invest all your time in THEIR interviews and so their competitors get less candidates. Just reminds me of different times in highschool when you had one teacher turning out boatloads of homework thinking that THEY are the only ones doing it when, in reality, all or most of your teachers also thought THEY were the only ones doing it. ON A SIDE NOTE I just had a CTO reach out direct to me and tell me "we'll be moving onto next steps because you have EVERYTHING we are looking for". I followed up right after ... reiterated my interest a week later ... Crickets going on 4 weeks here. It's just total nonsense out there right now.

Prior to the 2008 great recession, getting a job was as easy as walking in, dressed nicely, and asking to speak with the hiring manager. Since then, all you ever hear is "apply online". But when you do, you never get a reply. It's like your applications are going into some kind of black void. That said, the guy @10:00 shows how entitled this generation is. Getting $50k a year out of college is crazy good. It took me years after graduating to finally get paid that much.

I was job hunting for 6 months while at my previous, very toxic and stressful job. The only reason i found a new job is because the owner has seen me working there for a few years, he just started hiring, and he noticed i was very unhappy. He offered me a job i didn't even apply for. Meanwhile i couldn't even land an interview anywhere i applied to, I'm 29 years old with plenty of experience in every field i applied for. I'm terrified for the time I'm ready to find a new job again...

Aren’t they just raising fast food minimum wage here? Also in California, $21 is livable wage assuming you have no kids or anyone to care for. Like single household. Also I’m pretty sure when the minimum wage does increase if it is for all jobs, it will likely increase your wage. People with skills won’t take such a job for that low price equal to that of a minimum wage worker. What happens is you refuse those jobs until they make good offers. Whoever caves in before you gets the job at that low pay, but I doubt they’ll have enough workers with such pay. It will have to increase.

I worked for this place that was supposedly desperate for workers and severely short staffed to the point where us existing staff had to work many more hours than we signed up for to cover all the shifts. There were plenty of people applying for the job, but they were getting rejected! The job had a ridiculously high turn over rate because everyone was stretched so thin from there not being enough employees in the first place! I got told they rejected an applicant because the applicant had past experience at McDonalds, and apparently that’s not good enough.

And I would really love working at the gym.” The interviewer: (sucks on her teeth sound) “Yeah, sorry over qualified.” Me screaming inside “there’s no pleasing these dumb people!

I’ve gotten the “you’re over qualified”, and also the dreaded, “you don’t have the qualifications we are looking for”. I’m actually on the downswing in my working life, and I want an office coordinator/manager job that I can do until I retire in 10 years. I’ve worked in an office for 20 years, but apparently I’m not qualified to work in an office. It’s so frustrating. Never in my entire career have I faced this kind of bullsh*t just to get a job. I’ve been looking for 8 months and I even set an alert on indeed for “office jobs with no experience”. The first job that came up for that alert said 2-3 years experience in office management preferred. On a different note, I did get an interview for an office manager job at a funeral home. I was put through an almost 3 hour grueling interview and had to answer a series of cognitive behavioral questions..for an office manager position. The guy asking me questions was aggressive and rude. When he asked me if I had any questions to ask him, I asked if he yelled at his employees. I caught him off guard and he blurted out “yes” without thinking. Then he realized what he said and quickly followed it up with, “but I don’t yell at my office manager”. I left the interview and never heard from him or the company again. As aggravating and exhausting as that interview was, I think I dodged a bullet on that one.

I literally had to take a job doing stock at target for $10 an hour working 3 AM to 8 AM. It was miserable. I think it depends more upon what state you live in because where I live it’s not as hard to find full-time. It is also ridiculous that certain places on the Internet that have Job listings make you take hours of tests that Do not have anything to do with the job. But at least I know where I live it’s not as hard to find full-time, but it is harder to find part time unless you wanna work retail which nobody does.

That question is more of a hidden question asking you how much revenue you'll be making the company and when I did the math I realized if I was making 100k I would be generating the company 800k+ a year. Those expectations are just insane to me
