I have been applying for many jobs more than 500 jobs on linked in and indeed as well as another app called bayt in 2023 alone.... I also applied for many jobs by hand... 3 times... each time I take a go... i bring with me 40 copies... I leave hard copies to their receptionist incase there is a job opening there is nothing. Girl I been to floor by floor on 65 floor towers like 4 times!. 2 years unemployed I swear in this gen it's so hard to get a job. If u found a man working and lives his life well that's the shot! Marry him and u don't have to work... because most easy jobs is now being taken by women... that's one of the reasons it's hard to find a job.

      Nice attempt, recruiter - trying to sell us on the work culture bullshit. Shaming those who want to work less and enjoy their lives and families and friends NOW; after having been through a pandemic that has shown us that life can be taken away at any moment. And trying to encourage people to do that side hustle bullshit: work more and exhaust yourself more so you get the "EXPERIENCE" that "will pay dividends you will enjoy in your later years" when you will be too old and probably too ill to enjoy it.
      And how are we supposed to live NOW? How do we PAY OUR BILLS WITH "EXPERIENCE"? Especially when you're telling us NOT to be picky about pay. I mean, why don't we all just become volunteers? No pay at all. Just experience.
      _Not being picky about pay_ is PRECISELY how people get exploited and end up having to quit or strike/protest or just end up mentally, emotionally, and physically burnt out. People SHOULD be paid more for what they are doing WITHOUT having to work more; there is enough wealth in the world for that to happen. It HAS happened in the past, and it DOES happen NOW for those privilged enough. We are NOT slaves. Slavery is illegal.
      The more you are willing to work and just accept the bullshit pay, the more you will be exploited and get nothing for it. Accepting this problem WILL NOT solve it.
      We SHOULD be standing up against this bullshit and demanding better. We exist for far greater purposes that just "hustling" 24/7/365.
      The solution to this work problem is NOT "more work".
      You have been fooled, but you're not fooling us.

      You are correct; unfortunately just had to do a stent of unemployment last September. Here are the facts;
      Missouri -
      Its $325 MAX a week you can receive, or at least that's what I was told.
      They also further deducted any acrewed PTO time paid to me unpon termination as "additional miscellaneous income". No one could give me an explanation why they just said, "you have to have it deducted or else we won't start paying out your unemployment".
      The unemployment lasted me almost 4 months before running out, it ran dry by January leading to bills catching up and my account going negative. I landed a job 12.27.23 and they said I won't receive a check until 01.30.24 because of how the company pays...
      I had to borrow money to start a new job and survive everyday while waiting for my checks to start.
      The job I was doing prior was a trades position, not union protected, terminated unjustly and they werent paying competitively. As a head position in a maintenance department of a theater and I was only making $21.50/ hr should've been making $22.50/ hr as agreed apon by raises but found out upon termination that they actually never applied my previous raise from the beginning of the year...
      Were in a strong economy huh. Just keep your nose clean and work a trade job huh. Y'all about to make me and maybe many more of us turn to villainy.

Knowing people definitely helps. Also just having a good attitude… don’t complain… get in there and do what you have to do and get out. Your coworkers are not your friends!! But sometimes you may find one person that you hit it off with. Good luck to everyone trying to find a job right now ❤

    Everyone keeps saying "Go into the trades" but that ship has already sailed. I have friends who went to trade school last year chasing that bag and now they both work at Walmart because no one wants to apprentice new hires for trade jobs. Tradesmen are enjoying all the work they're getting right now and adding an extra employee to their crew just means another person to split the profits with so they'll only do it if they're getting more work than their current workforce can handle. The end result is even the trades have become hard to get into because everyone currently working in the trades knows it's about to be flooded with new applicants so they're hoarding all the work and getting that bag while the going is good. I don't blame them, but it just really goes to show that there is no easy meal ticket in today's job market.

    unemployment figures are fudged numbers. The numbers only include people that got laid off from a job and is currently looking for work while collecting unemployment. Once, their unemployment is off they drop those from the number. They just assume they found job when in reality most don't find one and t hey exhausted the unemployment and they're either homeless or living with family or friends. They're hiding the fact that the economy is bad and the jobs they're creating are just labor jobs that aren't careers.

      I'm part of that number, I got a computer science degree in 2022 (if you know anything about the tech job market, you'll know this means the degree isn't even worth the paper it's printed on) but haven't been able to get any work since graduating, but because I live with my mom I don't qualify for unemployment because she has a job and unemployment eligibility is based on household income, not individual income. So despite having been out of work for two entire years because not even McDonald's will respond to my job applications, I am not included in that figure.

      @@kaijuultimax9407 No, unemployment is strictly based on what you paid into it. What you're talking about is welfare. The unemployment rate is only people collecting unemployment. It doesn't count people on welfare or anyone that isn't working. The people that are getting unemployment once that runs out. They take you off the unemployment rate which is why you see big drops after a while and they will report the economy is improving when in reality it's not because they assume the people that exhausted unemployment must have found a job. In reality they can just exhausted the unemployment and then end up moving in with either parents or friends or if they don't have that support they end up in the streets. I got 2 degrees Accounting and Finance graduated in 2015. I couldn't get internships nor entry level jobs. At that time there wasn't much where I live but now it's rare to find internships or entry level jobs. There's less in my area and too many people with degrees running around looking for work.

    Even in 2010s applying to jobs via indeed or other systems wasn’t how to get even an interview. You need to network or directly connect with people. Even better is a friend or connection. Or work on projects and make them public. Most jobs are real but they hire like 1-2 people. No one wants more resumes.. when you post a listing using hiring software you get so many resumes that the challenge he is deciding which ones to even review. This is why direct connection or standing out matters. No hiring manager wants to have more resumes on hand.

    Apply to as many government jobs as you can. State, county, local, federal, whatever. In many cases they are required to actually sift though every single applicant and will almost always get back to you with a direct response. Whether it’s positive or negative. Government jobs aren’t just thrown up willy nilly, if you see something advertised then it definitely exists and they need someone for that role. No such thing as a fake job posting on a government website. However, the main downside with government hiring processes are how long they take. Because they have to comb through every applicant it can take months to hear back.

I was going to beauty school when we met but I dropped out because I got pregnant. I had a miscarriage, we still continued dating, and eventually got married. He told me to come work with him at the shop. In 2016, I was put as second owner of the business. We have no children so we just invest our extra money in farmland property. I think the best thing to do now is self employed trade jobs. Many men he fixes trucks for are landscapers, construction contractors, HVAC, roofing, siding, drywall and plumbing repair workers.

It was but then I got my head outta the clouds…. so I thought of a practical way to get a job. Trade school is my thing. I decided to rack up on as many trades to the point of becoming sharkisha of all trades 😅😅😅 well the ones I’m interested in plumbing is a hard poopass for me.
