23 days agoI had to cash out my 401(k) while looking for a job. Thought I was on the start to a good track, but the house of cards collapses easily.
Sending applications that make you enter the information multiple times, have some ATS system with poorly implemented OCR autofilling among other issues. The chance to even have a chance at a job via interview is ridiculous.
To add insult to injury, at my previous job most people were referred by relatives or hired a VERY long time ago. It seems the world just hates anyone under 40? Including those damned millennials, right??
It’s fun to be expected to break your back for a system when nothing rewards you.
The smile and handshake is certainly coming back in a world where a machine generates a document to be processed by other machines.
Seems human judgment is removed in areas it could add value to the individuals involved in the process.
