  2. @ someone wrote a bot, script, API, that grabs every posted contract in one second. Other contractors never get to see, bid, or contact the issuer, until it’s RELISTED, the day after it doesn’t get done

  5. Applying for a chef position: "So what kind of experience do you have?" "Well I've been cooking for myself all my life!"

  6. Sister and husband got educated, no jobs, too tired of retail or factory or trades so they sold their souls to the government, and spying on muslims and the rest of us geering up for ww3, its all secret though, but now the government is making t h em work 60 hour weeks for 40 hour pay, and bored out if their minds, its bad 😮

  8. What I learned from my decades of experience is , how to identify a genuine Job post. Every one has to master it in their own way. There will be hits and misses but you still gotta try and give them a minute.

  9. Recruiters are typically unqualified to be doing any sort of screening of technical job roles. The human centipede of corporate management doesn't understand this.

  10. Before, Americans were known for their entrepreneurial spirit. The new generation did not live through this era and that is normal because your governments have done everything so that you are no longer entrepreneurs so that there is no competition between rich people. Now we see slaves begging for a job.

  11. Yup, paid experience and references will get you hired first.

  12. The scratchy audio means I can't watch.

  13. Think about this. Imagine you do get hired. Now your hell really starts. These companies suck big time. Most of them have millions of lines of terrible code. Youll be responsible for fixing this terrible code and when you cant. Youll be blamed for it

  14. Can you make and sell software?

  15. Recruiters are snakes... They have absolutely no idea how to justify their existence, and LinkedIn is the most toxic social media... NO ONE is qualified in their eyes, there is absolutely NO reasonable way to qualify for any of these jobs and yes they LOVE toxic employees who have 0 self respect!!!

  16. If I need an electrician or mechanic or carpenter, what matters is their ability not where they worked. Also, would I refuse to contract them because they have too much experience?

  17. Hang in there, sir. Try to use your network to try to get in rather than recruiters. That’s standard advice but seems like focusing on that works better than hoping a random recruiter to deliver a miracle if hasn’t been e

  18. I think the problem is more the competition than anything. They gets hundreds and sometimes thousands of applicants to job postings - they are able to find someone with the professional background and years of experience within an organization that the client is looking for. When they have found that person, they aren't looking at you anymore. The problem is breaking into any field is extremely difficult now. For me, I had to start off with some less than optimal pay. Now - I am working fully remote and I was hired into current role because I had the exact qualifications the hiring manager wanted based on prior role. It was hard for me to find this match, many rejections happened during this period as well, even WITH the experience I had. That (being the ideal match) or references is how you can get a job. It's a struggle for sure when you do not have any experience - the hardest part IMO for anyone in their career - but it's also a struggle that hundreds of thousands of people go through and just is a byproduct of there being better alternatives available for the employer. Our system sucks. I think there should be better bridge ways into the employment market and maybe the universities need to partner up with companies that are incentivized to hire in their graduates or something along those lines to level the playing field better for those who are early in their careers. And now with AI entering the picture over the next few years, I think there's going to be some very major problems in the job market as if it wasn't bad enough already.

  22. Let’s keep praying brother, God will show us the way out of this. I live in NYC. Tons of experience. Served 10 years in the US Army. A Math “Genius”. Speak 5 different languages. Etc etc but hell I am unemployed for months. Struggling on a daily basis. Can’t even have minimum wage jobs nowadays in the city without them making you go through 3 months of BS Planning to move out of states or back to Africa where I came from 15 years ago. I feel sorry for myself but I feel way more sorry for American born who aren’t use to this kind of hardship. No one deserves to go through so much uncertainty after years of doing the “right thing “. 😢

  23. You raise your hands and do the hand gesture of “quotation marks” way too often. This makes you look bitter, immature, and antagonistic. All traits that put most people off immediately. You also look up a lot. This makes you look deceitful. Just so you know, a smile never hurt anyone at all job interview. Do you even know how to smile? Or fake optimism for 2-3 minutes? I would bet not.

  25. This guy seems like a really sharp guy and if I had a computer company, I’d feel honored to have a young hard-working decent smart guy working for me, like him. I feel his anger and he’s right. These companies are so full of it. These recruiters are terrible.

  26. The entire tech industry is complete bullshit. Skills mean nothing (and I’m employed at a company). I’d rather work at McDonalds and Lyft at this point. At least it’s guaranteed income.
