This person vs me have very different versions of ‘snapping’, and mine involves much stronger vulgarities than ‘haha’…
They made me re-write my entire resume in little boxes.
Great fuckin movie!!
Haha
I hated this shit when I was on the job hunt. Turned a 5 minute application into a 30 minute one.
Then multiply that by a bunch per day.
I got frustrated and eventually just skipped any that did this. If my resume isn’t sufficient, why do you accept it at all? Just don’t take the resume, or don’t take the form. Pick. Not both.
Not worth it. The places that did this never called me anyway. Never.
My best job ever called me, went over my resume and expanded on it a bit, and offered me the job same day.
My second best job received my resume, said “You seem like a good fit, come in for an interview” and a week later did an informal vibe check interview before hiring me same day
My absolute worst job had this resume bullshit, 3 rounds of interviews and an unpaid training day before offering me half of what the website said; i only agreed because the alternative was $0 and eviction.
I get it.
The alternative is they make a program to read your resume and when it reads it wrong you get filtered out for that
So why not do their job and read them. If I had a dollar for everyone of these office jackasses that can’t do their job and need me to do the leg work I’d be felony musk wealthy. I’m done with this stupid world, it’s like the more you pass the work, the more you get paid. I bow to no man, no man’s ‘god’, and definitely no man’s ‘paper of value’(money) suck my nuts end me Negan vs Abraham style (walking dead)
Not defending the recruiters for not reading resumes, but I’ve seen the recruiting queue and it sucks.
Way more than half the applications are fake, from out of the country (for jobs that require you to work physically at the location), or just clearly entered for unemployment requirements. Across dozens of applications on each of the dozens of open positions each week.
State/federal requirements mean the jobs have to be posted to a bunch of equal opportunity job boards that never produce real candidates.
There’s a reason recruiters are feeding all their shit through AI. It became an AI slop fight for both sides of the job application process.
Well, ya could always bust your ass for shit wages, to make everyone on the great divide(office vs labor) more money than yourself, die younger unless you actual try to make changes. Or just read first few lines delete toss bad ones? Idk if I gotta do my shitty job, make less maybe shit heads tryin to hire me or run a company can do theirs? Fuck I can’t wait for the real violence to start
I don’t work in recruiting at all. I don’t read resumes.
Office vs labor in my industry is weighted towards labor making more money.
Non-union on government contracts requires prevailing wage pay at union agreed rates. A laborer (basic unskilled labor) can make $45/hour with fringe benefits at $25/hour. They make OT on top of that which the salaried office employees don’t.
Not every industry pays their workers garbage.
I actually just filled out an application on indeed because I figured why not. The questions are getting strange. It’s not a government job, no clearance required, so why are you asking if I’m a citizen of Syria?
This is a post about finishing college and not lying on your resume. With all the ID and AI verification process, big corporations are going to make a push to reconnect education with employment.
Real talk - if the applicant can’t be assed to fill out a form or write a cover letter then maybe they aren’t a good fit. Paperwork that people hate to do is critically important for many jobs.
Everyone should beg for meaningless, repetitive work… And they should be grateful for it.
Okay but do you want to do that hundreds or thousands of times?
I get hundreds of half-ass applications for jobs. But the 10% that actually fill out the application and meet the minimum qualifications almost always get an interview.
Real talk - it’s a complete waste of time and a product of corporate complacency
I’m happy to do mundane paperwork IF I’m getting paid to do it.
