Job hunting is bullshit

submitted by Storefront to whatever 3 weeksApr 3, 2025 12:51:53 ago (+36/-1)     (whatever)

Technology has made job hunting one of the most demoralizing experiences imaginable. Just a rant. It's so ineffective, exhausting and is seemingly designed to wear you down so that you feel extreme gratitude for any scraps of feedback you receive. Endless interviews and mechanical systems that would be much more efficient with humans in charge.

Im lucky im old enough to have already been completely demoralized, then remoralized by my own awakening, otherwise this might send me spiraling into depression.

It's normal to fail a couple times, if you persevere. An earthquake that wrecked the town took my first one out. The only open stores downtown were in large tents in parking lots, for several years. There was somewhat of an economic contraction.
