Just thought I would write this to cheer some of you up. I’ve been unemployed for like 8 months now. I have a great resume, worked for large companies, graduate degree, highest certification possible in the field. Also it’s a broad field so the job prospects are usually great and diverse. I’ve had to keep job hopping for a while although it’s excusable because a bunch of roles were contract. But let me tell you this is the worst job market that I’ve seen in 5 plus years. The Republicans showed the Biden administration is bullshitting the figures and it really is bad like we all thought. 300 to 400 applicants on every job. I have applied to 1000s, yes 1000s of jobs (I use a robot sometimes because f these companies wasting your time for no pay), I get many interviews, I blow them out of the park and yes the interviewer will tell me that and I have yet to land a single position. It’s just pure scum bag with these companies right now. Here are the problems I see:
-Bunch of them are not liking the current environment to take risks and grow – everyone wants to be like big tech and lay off people and you aren’t going to beat a dude coming from Google and Microsoft so you’re double fked – so many ghost jobs to the point that it’s intolerable. I use a robot to auto apply sometimes to not waste my time with these trash ghost jobs that have flooded the market now. Even if they interview you I am still highly thinking a lot of them are just getting a sense of what’s out there and don’t really have a position, I’ve seen a lot of emails come back that they’ve decided to hire no one and that’s just on the ones I’ve gotten a reply for, I’m thinking a lot of the none reply emails are in the same boat, they are just scum bags wasting your time. – bunch of scum bag activity out there, companies praying on people’s desperation making them do hours of testing and stages of interviews so they can have their pick of the top 50 100 people – bunch of low balling salaries – bunch of companies now out sourcing nice remote jobs to contractors in India and Ukraine for $5 an hour, the hole contractor bs needs to end, I don’t get how you need a work permit to work in America but suddenly it’s ok to steal an American’s job just because it’s through the Internet and he’s a contractor. These companies would literally rather completely retrain someone just so they can phase you out and have them work for $5 an hour (it’s currently happening to me at my current part time job, happened to me at another job as well)
Overall these companies really are complete scum, please these aren’t your friends or “family” lol I love when they say that line. End of the day it’s all business and right now they have their pick of 400 people they can low ball and fuk n chuck like a peice of meat and that’s if you’re lucky and they are actually going to hire and actually going to hire an American at that. People always think of the people stealing your job are these illegal immigrants who are picking corn or whatever and yeah that is true but really the biggest issue right now is remote international contractors, trust me they are infecting like every company right now and will be taking more and more jobs if it isn’t stopped.
Curious to hear your opinions.
