I've been out of the work force since the holocough. Back in my day, you'd get an interview, meet with the manager and he'd pretty much hire you on the spot. Before the corona bullshit, I only ever failed 2 interviews out of about 9 and it was because I was high as fuck. Wish I never touched the shit.
Now I've been looking for a job for months and can't get one. Applications are all online. You can't just go and say whats up to the manager and get hired. In fact, managers don't even do the fucking hiring. They tell you to go fill out the application on indeed or whatever. 9/10 times this goes completely unanswered. In the rare occasion that it does not go unanswered, the first step is a "phone interview." This consists of some fuckwit on the other end reading off borderline incoherent questions.
"Tell me of a time when you dropped your work to do anything else, and this could be with your friends, family or other."
The fuck kind of question is that? Physically dropped? Like on the floor? Dropped as in the slang for "stopped what you were doing?" Fucking morons write this shit. Of course I fail these phone interviews every single time even though I give precise and excellent answers to this drivel.
In person interviews are no better. You meet with some dumb 20 year old girl who asks you the same questions, but you get to see what goes on behind the scenes.
"Tell me of a time when you left your work incomplete, but had to work harder to finish your work" is one I got yesterday.
That question doesn't even make fucking sense. If I left the work incomplete... then is was left INCOMPLETE! Of course I answered by saying there is no time in recent memory that I left my work incomplete.
This dumb little bitch writes "did not answer."
So... the process is this.. You meet with some stupid little whore who asks you questions written by a pajeet on SSRI's, paraphrases your answers, then hands them off to some dumb fat bitch ("hiring manager") you've never met who glances over the paper the first bitch filled out for you.
JOB INTERVIEWS LITERALLY DON'T EVEN EXIST ANYMORE. This must be hell.
Oh yeah, and one job asked me 2 questions only through an email link. What is my race and gender? They denied me within 15 minutes of me answering those.
Had the same problem. Early this year I tried to apply for a remote programming job across Europe. I made 50 applications, got 0 positive responses, therefore no interviews. I even did some of their stupid tests, one with a 19/20 score (the 20th one was something unrelated I wasn't sure about - you know, you'd have to use the internet for 2 minutes for that one, what a disaster).
I am btw quite skilled and versatile. Earlier this year I created a multiplayer setup that is easily scalable and allows a singular realm to exist which can host tens of thousands of players. It basically is never-before-seen, new technology. And I work with mathematical-logical things all the time. Just now I created 2 shaders which make planets and moons look good.
> Before the corona bullshit
Before the covid hysteria I made like 5 applications, got 3 interviews, one of which was a weird scam, the second one wanted to hire me (it was a shitty job, but they tested my typing speed, which was likely best of all their applicants), and the third one was a software developer job. I seemed to have impressed them before they even saw what I've sent them... which ironically was the first task they gave me at the job.
Today, even though I am an expert, I get fucked in the ass. So I decided to do my own project. And niggers will simply no longer exist. The TND happened.
> This dumb little bitch writes "did not answer."
I cannot fathom how it must be to be asked these idiotic, corporate, "culture" questions. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF X HAPPENS? A: GOOD GOY OPTION, 2: BAD GOY OPTION. HINT: TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO HEAR.
> Oh yeah, and one job asked me 2 questions only through an email link. What is my race and gender? They denied me within 15 minutes of me answering those.
Jesus Christ... that is absolutely insane.
Funnily enough, with enough success, I will do the same. But I will deny everyone who isn't White. And the response comes immediately when they confirm their race with: "WRONG RACE, NIGGER."
It was a plumbing place, of all places. I thought for sure they'd be looking for people because all the boomers tell me nobody can find plumbers these days.
Idk if I should be happy or mad. On the one hand, they told me to get fucked because I'm a white man, on the other they told me they only want minorities cleaning shit out of the drains.
