Having the most frustrating time getting hired for an entry level position after completing college majoring in Information systems. I swear these organizations are really missing out on potential hard workers
For sure. Good luck to you!
I thought I was the only one with this struggle
Welcome to the information technology rust belt. Your job has been outsourced/no longer in demand . Please take a seat next to Elm, CoffeeScript, Erlang, Lua, and Perl programmers. Please don't drink too much with the Radiology readers/Coal Miners/traditional journalists. Peace.
It just feels so discouraging that myself and others are affected by the reality of how this industry is setting its bar so high, that i feel as if i need to go back to school and pursue a different degree/start over and i don't want to resort to that. I don't want to waste all those years of countless hours of studying/coding/practice to not have a CHANCE. I just feel so affected im not experienced enough and i feel like i wasted time ill never get back.
@@blayx I know what you mean .. Take it from me, over here in the UK, I feel the bar is WAY to high to get a basic entry-level role. I first got into IT in 2016, & am only on the verge of obtaining the CompTIA trifecta, but I know it's still gonna be difficult finding a job. I have some experience, but not "enough" for a lot of IT jobs here, it seems.
wow someone actually spoke on it....that in itself is amazing...any time I want to even touch this topic, its radio silence...
It needs to start somewhere.
Job Requirements (Entry Level):
Must have 100 years job of experience
Must have 4 year college degree
Must have xyz certification
*Stop being unrealistic and actually give new people a chance in job market.* (Good video, straight to the point)
Oh I see, you got jokes?! 😂😂
I agree I am not even getting a help desk job.
@@shaunnathanson6905 depends where you live, depends on your resume and how you have it set up. Yes, it's hard to get a helpdesk job but you need to work on the resume if no one calling you.
Pay: $10/hour
I agree. It makes no sense
About to graduate university in May, bachelor's in IT, and this is something, as someone who is starting off, is affected by. A lot of these job postings are so unrealistic. Example: IT Desktop Support, $15 /hr must have 3-5 years of experience. . . HUH!?
As always, great vid!
@@euric869 Yeah I am right there with you. My area happens to have more jobs for tech as i am in the tri state area. However, it is more of the 3-5 years of experience for an entry level job that is ridiculous and demoralizing. How did the senior and junior IT people start? The same way we are, as new comers to the field.
In certain industries and smaller organizations, 3-5 years puts you at the associate sys admin to sys admin level. My perception for minimum qualifications needed would be, to at least have your full CompTIA a+ certs and/or have a two year tech school degree with 3-6 months of general work experience. Nothing specific to IT, but something to show that you know what is to get up and go to work. And if you have a specific 4 year degree for information systems or information technology combined with internships that would move you up the list in my book.
I am in school to do desktop support and I'm worried about not getting hired due to lack of experience. I've had a bunch of jobs but not sure how many years of experience I have. You should not need 3 years of experience for a entry level job. The whole point of a entry level job is that you don't need to have a lot of experience as this is one of your first jobs. How are you going to get a job if you can't get the experience needed for a job.
This is SO true. Documentation is so often skipped or poorly done. It's extremely important for organizations to have clear documentation and a rich knowledge-base.
1. Apprenticeships.
2. Pipelines to transition people out of help desk and into different roles. Many will speak ad nauseam about needing to start off in help desk, but have little to no development plans to get people out.
Many orgs could partner with local community colleges, but they don’t. It’s easy to talk about knowledge & skills gaps. It’s another to put forth resources and action plans to resolve them.
For sure, I don't have all the right answers here, but hopefully getting the discussion started can get the people involved that do.
Also gotta remember most companies want their employees to stay in their position. Unless of course that person was a suck up.
Agreed
Zach: “Perhaps we should hire and train entry level IT staff in a sensible way?”
IT industry: “naw mate”...
Just got rejected in an entry-level Help Desk because I didn't have experience, they were paying 8 dollars an hour with 3 years experience minimum.
I want to say as someone who is really wanting to get into the IT field even more so than I am and someone who has struggled to get positions even though I have a degree this idea would be so helpful to us and the company in general as it would also reduce downtime in a lot of ways
I am glad someone spoke on this. IT is supposed to be about helping people. It is saddening to feel like you have to get a job, which is extremely difficult to get into, in order to be in a position to help people through technology. There have to be ways to help people with technology. I have a few ideas but want to do more research before sharing them.
I wish IT/Enginnering/Technology structure was more like medical/trade skill jobs where you need federal/national standard licensing in order to get into the field. Also, doing mandstory job training period where you learn about everything before you resume work.
The culture in Tech really need to change so inexperience can get their foot in the door and gain experience.
Your 100% spot on in this video. Thanks for Calling Out what's really happening nowadays.
I'm from the UK, & I have been trying to find an entry-level IT role here in London for a long while now .. One thing I've noticed (here in London especially) is that there are more recruiters than there are actual IT jobs .. You have people literally making life-long careers off being recruiters, constantly calling me JUST to ask me about "what I've done since my previous job" .. I can only tell the truth, but also - it is honestly none of their business what I've been doing. At the end of the day, I'm the one with the certs & experience - not them. It is they, the recruiters & agencies, who should be chiming in to top organisations about me, rather than constantly "grilling" me about my past.
Sometimes, I honestly think that HR people are some of the most useless people in real life, whilst its their partners e.g. CEOs or skilled tradespeople, who happen to be the breadwinners in the family.
Hey Josh, from the UK as well. What certifications have you obtained that helps looking for an entry job? Degree, or CompTIA+, Network+, Security+, or Microsoft certified?
@@Moynzy I have A+ & Network+ , soon to get Sec+ hopefully
@@jmedz893 cheers bro. Best of
Luck
Amazing idea but no company is gonna do this
Some companies do this or very similar, it just needs to be standardized more. I don't have all the answers, I'm always open to input and suggestions.
I got lucky I took my first helpdesk position roughly 3 months ago it took me 150 if not more applications to get the gig; I'm just starting in the industry and would like to eventually be a red teamer. Just getting into the that first helpdesk position is killer it really is no joke what employers are looking for more than 90% of the entry level positions I applied for required 5 yrs experience, I'm fully encouraging anyone to get into IT and I'd be willing to help the people that I can trust to do a good job even if they're just starting in IT.
Serious question - When companies looked at your CV, did they give you any feedback from interviews as such ? I.e. do they actually look at what you've done in the past & identify attributes & transferable skills that can carry over into IT ? e.g. customer service, logistics, army etc ? .. Cos if they can't see the value in that, then it just makes me think that the IT industry are just a bunch of silent nerds who don't want outsiders into their industry .. & I don't mean that in a bad way.
@@jmedz893 most companies look at skills/education as a perk but what they mainly look for in the interviews is if you’ll fit in with your future coworkers; ex: hobbies interests and generally your overal attitude if you may create an issue with any employee they won’t hire you, if an employer is decent enough they’ll look at how you treat yourself and others and how you communicate with them in the interview. They also like to see that your continually learning with it or anything for that matter always learn.
*learn something new everyday
@@TheRealWormaden Thanks for your reply, I think I am a good communicator, but as you said, it's whether they really "like" me or not. I've been saying for time now that people these days be hiring you based on whether you support the same sports team, genre of music or political party .. it sucks, but I think this is a massive case nowadays
@@jmedz893 I agree and I live somewhere I don’t fit in the most populated lds part of the state, and I’m not lds so everywhere I go they’re looking for that return missionary that’s having a kid.
My job is a start up business and everyone is hippy like gamers very chill atmosphere
Wow, this was really well thought out! You could be like a thought leader or trainer for all these IT companies, much like a consultant, on what they need to better their organization and structure upon bringing new people in. Thank you so much for sharing this! I feel like the Google IT support specialization courses has also done similar good job on that, but it's not customized to the organization in question. You went deeper into the root of the issue, and for that, you have my utmost love and respect good sir. I pray nothing but the best for you in all you do! We need more people like you in this world. Somebody, or many people, is going to see your gifts and value, and pay you what you deserve and are worth, not what the job is worth. Keep shining like the star you are. Much love and blessings always King!
Yes!!!!!! I have an IT degree. I work for one of the biggest Universities in the state as an IT Specialist and the biggest problem is LACK OF DOCUMENTATION!!!!!!!! All of the tickets lack troubleshooting resolutions
I love the idea of having an on boarding process for new people. Any company you go to you go through an on boarding process. Companies could have the new person shadow a more experienced employee so they can ensure that the noob can do the job sufficiently. They ought to find a way where maybe they could partner with universities an junior colleges to do internships even make them part of the curriculum where you have to do one to graduate. I know in the medical field you have to go and do an internship at a hospital. Doctors have to do even more! So why couldn’t they do something similar in this trade?! I know there are some internships but not enough.
I just graduated from an IT training program with the A+ certificate and have had the hardest time finding that entry-level role in the Chicagoland area of all places.
This is very true! Great video!
Much needed video.
This was needed, hopefully all these companies are watching this because some entry level people (like me) are hungry to learn and work hard. They just need an opportunity.
Yes! Thanks for talking about this
When I was in an interview and they give me the opportunity to ask question, I always ask if there are documentations but they didn't answer it, they reason out that every issue they encounter is different... At least the documentation will give us an idea how to fix it, right? I want to get myself back on IT with the help of you guys, I become motivated to get myself back on my feet.
I glad your speaking about this , I see almost every job post 3-5 years it’s crazy , everybody has to start some we’re
Great video! Love the shirt😉
I get what you’re saying about them creating a sort of training specific for each company bc even if you’re “experienced” or have a degree, they all do things differently and I am doing an entry level now for the experience when I could have a customer service job that pays more.
I'm trying to get the entery level helpdesk position. Yah know THE entery level IT job. It's a mess, only gotten like 2 interviews so far. With most going like "oh, you don't have 3 plus years of experience and know how to do this entery level job to its entierty? Well I guess your not worthy for this 15$ an hour entery level helpdesk job."
We had onboarding videos at my second msp put together by my boss on using the tools and the workfllw process
I agree with you on this one bro, frfr. These companies needs to have documentation from the previous rep/call/ticketing system whatever. They're lackin like a router having a random downtime LOL.
Yes I have certs all i went is a chance to make money and look after my family HR SUCKS I get interviews but no job thanks Zack you looking good bra!
I'm thinking HR are just jealous that people are wanting to work on something they have a passion for and get paid well. From my experience with HR they always push their kids to study IT now since I assume they look at the salary of senior engineers
You make sound so simple. I'm running into this problem now. I'm trying to transition into IT and I'm running into problems landing interviews
Hey Zach I've subscribed to you a while back because I started getting interested in the IT field i am currently in the military but on my way out and I'm looking into what I should be ready for, what should I have, and what kind of mindset I should have coming from a totally different career in the military. Thanks in advance
Hi Zach,
You discussing very interesting and real issue. It looks like it is US wide problem.
The problem exists in more areas than IT. I would agree that the barriers connected to industry and industry should solve it. You wouldn’t do a lot by better preparations of by blaming HR departments. It is industry and only industry can make a change.
Some time ago you discussed Google Certification program. That is program that dedicated for people with no experience and after that it will be opportunity to find a job with big companies. They formed employer consortium that will accept the certificates.
I am not sure if people will be hired... or that is just sweet hope of possible hiring that will never happen. But that definitely a way. Industry should change its attitude. The question what we can do to make this change happen.
I've all but given up. Been trying since graduation a couple years ago to get into IT. Nobody will look at you without any documented experience...that being an actual job...on your resume. Cue eye roll. Specialized in cyber security. Now I have an expensive piece of paper to look at and student loans to pay. Sure jobs are there, but these expectations are killing it at the same time. Newbies have to start somewhere.
Are you open in learning Industrial, carpentry/construction, healthcare/technician, trucking trade skillset where you licensing by your federally and nationally?
@@maroon9273 I've been in healthcare for over a decade and I'm ready for a change. I've always had an interest in how computers work, etc. But it's hard to make that change if no one will even give you the chance to get experience. I'm done trying.
@@kimmartin2362 its been that way since 08 recession till now. I feel Tech is closing its doors to inexperienced graduates/self-learners and making the entry to obtain one like engineering/science field.
@@maroon9273 I agree about the closing doors to those that are inexperienced. Sad thing is by doing that, they are closing out a lot of those that are hard workers, quick learners, and would become a huge asset in the right capacity. Miss the days when learning on the job was a thing.
@@kimmartin2362 yeah man that's why learning a trade or entrepreneur skillset is mandatory for inexperienced people if they don't want to work a dead end no skill job.
To get into Tech industry you have to network hard and learn from experience people who take someone under their wings to land a job in the field.
Experience does help with possible threats. I say that because there are habits one should pick up on as opposed to thinking a classroom gives you enough exposure to real world threats, compromises, etc. Especially with the current APT issues in many industries right now. Even with the correct policies and procedures there may not be enough to help someone gain experience. I've spent years preaching similar saying iron sharpens iron we can work together however they said if you don't learn sink or swim we'll find someone else. I guess there is no win win situation so if A.I. takes our jobs in less than 3 years its possibly our fault for not thinking on our toes or supporting each other in I.T. help desk to higher level engineers.
The fact of the matter is entry level job postings are just a way to underpay experienced programmers, hackers, game developers etc. Websites like Indeed, Monster, ZipRecruiter need to ban the word entry level from their job posting if it doesn’t mean 0-1 yrs experience
Facts, they should call them mid level jobs. The job positing for entry level searches is deceptive. That's why everyone should read the number of experience they're looking for.
I need help with (tickets, and Printer issus). I've never worked a ticket system, it seems intimidating.
From my observations, it all goes like an ecosystem which every layers is inter-related to different extend. However, each role have it own flaws & potential which may result in an not optimal decision making during a process. Which is the why individuals tend to blame a specific area/roles for unsuccessful opportunities
No IT experience, 5+ years field tech at unrelated non-IT job, A+ Network+ certs alongside homelab experience, and I was recently denied a help desk job because at the interview I was told "This is a mid-level engineer role, we're looking for more experience.." Job was a cookie cutter help desk posting for minimum wage in my state. Can only assume the market in my area is so saturated that IT people with tons of experience and degrees are taking MINIMUM WAGE jobs.
I try calling nexgent and asking questions on their site but no one answers I want to be in the i.t. field. Could you help?
I have 3 to 5 years of experience and I am still having issues of getting a interview in IT. Or I dont make it past the first interview. It was hard when covid hit and it was hard after getting my contract terminated at my last job.
Nice to hear. Wish that employers cared. When the work place has been flooded with 200,000 more unemployed people at least they can choose whoever they want.
They can afford to do what my friend and I have experienced: go through 2 interviews, say how great you are and how they want to move forward, and then ghosting you and never speaking to you again.
In relation to people leaving who are experienced that's good. But when there are 2000 more ppl like you who want jobs they just don't care who you are or what you want. You are replaceable. If they lose you in 3 months they will replace you and there will be someone to do so.
We should all take the L a little bit and refuse things from them.
If they ghost you report them to the BBB or whatever site they are hosting their job ad on
Maybe they want you to do apprenticeship first?
TL;DR: Here's my solution: Get the experts to teach the grunts, and the decision makers to fund the movement. Convince them that it's either do that or face personal hardships in a dystopian future.
I can give you a solution. As a matter of fact, this solution already exists in other industries. We just have to translate it to the IT world.
Let's take a page from everyone's favorite foul-mouthed Michelin Star chef Gordon Ramsay. In his Kitchen Nightmares series, although it is rarely shown in the series, Gordon Ramsay works with the active cooks on the recipes that he has designed to help the restaurant turn a profit. It's one of the many changes he implements, but even Gordon can tell you that having good food "is not good enough. It's the engine to a good restaurant, sure, but an engine alone does not make a car run."
Likewise, the experts in the job need to take time out of their day to teach their pupils the ins-and-outs of the organization's systems. If the systems in place are hardware, they need to teach the schematics, and if the person doesn't have the fundamentals of interpreting a schematic, they need to teach then that and guide them every step of the way until they can understand the different strokes and symbols. If it's software, teach them the fundamentals of code, then gradually make the lessons more challenging. The same goes for any sectors within IT.
Kitchen Nightmares may not be a great example because the show portrayed Gordon Ramsay as trying to turn a restaurant around within a week's time, but it's the lessons that stick with the amateur cooks; whether they decide to follow it or not in real life would be up to them after the show is over. The experience, to many decision makers' chagrin, comes with practice and time. They have to make the first move in teaching the grunts that take the brunt of the labor. Why?? It's because an individual who is seeking a secure job will dedicate their time and energy to that goal while your goal is to expand. Who has more time and money to burn in both scenarios?? Better yet, who actually has time and money in both scenarios?? Who can afford to take on more risks?? The grunt is always going to want to be better at his or her craft, so help them get better through active teaching. Teaching shouldn't be coming from JUST RUclips videos, or JUST documentation, or JUST by getting started. It's active. It's arduous for all parties involved, and it's hardest for the FNG, or the FUCKING NEW GUY/GIRL, and yes, the FUCKING DEADBEAT, as upper and middle management likes to call us prospects. (No, seriously!! I've talked with some HR people that practically complain about some of the bad resumes they had the misfortune to look for about 7 seconds. That's literally what they may be thinking of you when you give them a crap resume. I have questioned why I had helped them shortly after.)
But what do I know, right?? I'm not the one keeping the books. I'm not the one sipping on a Piña Colada while getting ready for a presentation to try and get an equally-as-rich business partner prospect to work with us or fund us, right?? I'm not the one who has to face the customers. I hear it all the time. "WOE IS ME!!" "I have it the hardest!!" "You don't have what it takes to drive the company in the right direction." "You're not the one losing hundreds of millions of dollars." "You just don't understand..." Sure, let's pretend to go with that narrative. If we assume this narrative, then are we, as a community, prepared to deal with blackouts?? How many of us are ready to tackle the complete loss of electricity in a world that is highly dependent on electricity and thrive?? How many of us are ready to transition to a world that's on 1% battery life with no working outlets to be found?? Do you think it can/will NEVER happen to us?? What if I told you, "The last time it happened to us, we were NOT AT ALL ready."?? What kind of life do you see if electricity were to *poof* vanish from our existence?? Are you ready for that life?? Do you honestly think you'll die before that happens to you??
Let me translate the previous paragraph to the IT world so that I can try to make a connection. Are you ready to lose your most essential employees?? What if you lost them tomorrow tragically?? What if they all uniformly quit on you, as Zach just finished describing?? Or worse, what if they would revolt and rebel?? Do you or does anyone else in your organization have a deep, meaningful understanding of how to get your systems up and running if it ever went down?? Can you run the organization all by yourself as a sole proprietor?? How long do you think you can last without a proper team in place to run your systems??
There's a valid reason you wouldn't want a heart surgeon to perform heart surgery on you if it's their first time, sure, but then again, when they go to perform heart surgery unto you, they will have done it to thousands of other patients before you because they are REQUIRED to be monitored by an expert when they were working, from the first time all the way the 999th patient, or the number before they went solo. The Japanese word for teacher is joined by "sen (先)" and "sei (生)", which mean "1000" and "life," respectively. The literal translation would be "one who has lived 1000 lives," but when contextualized, it means "one who has went before." There's a reason why the Japanese regard 先生 as a highly honored set of people: they hold the keys to progression and survival. Without them, the diagram to their current life become more cryptic, and those who cannot understand what was written before them are doomed to eternal hardships until someone or a group of someones eventually figures it out.
Being in the industry since I was a teen, and nearing 30, I feel that there people that went to university who come in have very limited scopes, which is both a blessing and a curse. They are hungry and want to learn. I think the issue lies and falls on the companies who will hire a new graduate, then they are displeased or were overestimating someones ability to come into their first career job.
Training is expensive, but training the RIGHT people is worth it. It sucks to see.
HR is overrated and I don't often hear about them helping to look after the staff. Rather their job is to put the company first.
Theres days Where I feel like i suck at IT. But most of the people around me think i am amazing at it. I barely know how to use excel word. power point i am decent at. My job uses teams and I have an ok understanding i use zoom more. My company is very cool we get to mess with 3d printing. I work for Accenture. At the end of the day i know i am making a difference working around tech for people with disabilities.
So what about Cyber Security Engineers. Does this happen with those jobs as well??
This is probably the biggest reason why I’m scared of career transition. No one would hire me. I heavily considered getting into IT when I was separating from the military. Had no IT experience, but I was definitely willing to put in the work. Every entry level position I saw required roughly 3-5 years of experience. Extremely discouraging.
Theres also the rejection as a skilled IT professional for these entry level jobs that I have come across
Good test
I only run the goodest tests.
I have an Information Security degree with a secure web app development concentration. Graduated in December 2018 then the pandemic hit and still no job.
Yea I’m at one now… outperforming the whole team… and getting cornered.
I am a huge proponent of the apprenticeship/mentoring model.
it took me almost a year to get a job after finishing school
You can get a job in information technology, but it typically pays very low if you have no experience. As a matter of fact many IT jobs pay less than warehouse positions.
Even less than home health care, fast food and group home jobs. With or without a IT certification especially associate comptia certs.
What do you think of WGU for continuing my other degrees in cyber security ? Is this a school that is looked down upon in the industry ? Or widely excepted ?
From what I’ve been told and seen.. WGU is changing the game in terms of learning. Their graduates graduate with several industry focused certifications. Many brick & motor institutions can’t compete with the price nor certs.
@@wesleydaniels40 Do you think it would be worth it ? I don’t want to waste my time and need to continue , I’m having a tough time breaking into a entry level position without experience so hopefully having my BA progress on my resume and few more certs will help
What have you decided? I've also looked inti WGU and am curious
F-ing Genius ; ) Nuff said...
the generations amongst IT professionals do clash quite a bit.
I got certified sec+ and bachelors in cyber security. no security job ever. in fact, I took a test at an interview for one and he accused me of cheating but still had a follow up interview which was awkward. kind of makes me not want to work in IT at all anymore after 10 years of doing tech 1/2 jobs. people are just really fucking stupid. now im shooting for a network engineering role, going to get my ccna/ccnp and watch how ill never get a job as a network engineer still. lol.
Sorry to hear about your experience. Going from sec+ to ccna is at worst, step down, at best a lateral move. Looking at Microsoft retiring MCSA, MCSA, MCSE should give you an idea of where networking/servers jobs are headed -- automation in the clouds.
a degree and a cert and you couldnt get a decent job? were you willing to move? D.C. has many job openings.
@@JusdoinstuF I don't have the option to move to a strange state thousands of miles away from friends and family on my own. I did that with Silicon Valley and Catalina Island and both were terrible stories.
What are your thoughts? What do you think can fix this problem? Please share your comments below and let us continue this discussion. Add me on LinkedIn to participate in the discussion further: linkedin.com/in/iamnerdy
Also, they need to have structure certification and replace them with a federal/national standard licensing (with specialties) like the medical/clinical/healthcare and trades field in order instead of gambling on certification they don't believe in. Also, have job training structure like you stated but similar to healthcare and trademen way of learning.
Church brother!!
You mean you want companies to actually take the time to train people? The entire purpose of the hiring process is to not have to train anybody. I guess I'll just be homeless before that ever happens.
I disagree that with the idea that there are NO entry level jobs available. Most mature departments have solid processes and SOP’s. I’ve worked for several who are anti ilium abut this Darden, FedEx, Coke, and Home Depot. I’ve experienced this in small orgs but never a mature technical team.
Well I have my A+, know the network plus and decided it doesnt teach people much so I am working on the ccna. I moved to a big city for the first time ever to get an it job and i only landed a tech representative job where my skills are used only a small amount. I plan on getting my ccna and doing free it stuff for non profit organizations and churches so i can get the hands on experience for a resume and not just the labs I do.
The network+ is a useless certification. It is better to get your ccna instead while gaining experience through self work/volunteering.
Yes sir or maam, that is exactly what I am working on doing, just got to chapter 4 in my ccna book and I am loving it because I am starting to get to the new and fun stuff in it. When I get to where I am doing more labing in packet tracer I'm going to start seeing if churches and any other non profit places could use anything IT related done and I am excited to get to that stage, like really excited.
And they wonder why younger people are just giving up on life and checking out of society. When Gen X'rs that got into the industry back when there were zero standards or obstacles(Hell, my old man got his first coding gig at a financial firm in the early 90's without even knowing any code and simply learned on the company's time and dime. Even got his own office) turn around and then put a massive wall of credential requirements for their kid's generation once they themselves have gained an ounce of power and authority, what hope does the future have?
And these people have the nerve to sit around asking dumb ass questions like why millenials aren't buying houses or starting families.
Volunteer...
Question for you ....
What do you think of these I.T courses that advertise a job at the end of it or all your money back.
Was looking for a change of job and looking at Reed courses in I.T and cyber security etc .Woild like your advice on these busineses that advertise these courses with a job or placement into a company etc.
Scam. Look at reviews lol.
@@Moynzy Thanks man i thought as much .
So basically u have to have luck to get a job and work there 5 years to move to another entry job thats BS
Why is this dude so negative! At this point it feels like he’s just making this type of videos so he can get the views and clicks! I remember when I subscribe to this channel are used to give some code device and how to actually find jobs and etc. etc. how to overcome those barriers. Now it just feels like he’s doubling down because he has success in these type of videos
HR is what Karl Marx was so upset about his whole life.
You got bigger brother. Focus on health also
I am.
My advice is to lie. Lie about your skills and experience.
and get fired for not knowing what you are doing, no thanks so many of my colleagues getting fired after a few months on the job because they lied in the interview and CV.
@@zedeco Yeah you keep being honest and see how far you get with that.
@@JonDoe-gi5zf it works great, i did get fired until now, also some candidates in my company got rejected because my company contacted the previous company and got the info that they were lying about their CVs and interview, you will get more and more companies to make background checks because of people like you.
