Ive applied to over 5000 jobs over 7+ years and M disguisted by how hiring managers and recruiters treat people. Personally, hiring managers should be fired and thrown in prison for how they treat people.
I’m tired of even wasting my time applying! I could probably start my own business before even getting rejection letter from these companies, let alone a response at all.
Economy is contracting. Businesses are stupid. They are giving credit out like its candy and paying off debts. They do this when they are facing instability.
"tragedy without a villain." Sorry professor, business is the villain. It's their fault for not understanding their software or how to use it properly. It's their fault for all the poaching that they routinely incentivize. All the biases they have against the unemployed or underemployed is 100% the fault of business.
I'm on roughly 1,300 applications myself (as of February 2023). Granted, they are fairly competitive positions but at the equivalent experience level for me and my background (bachelors & masters degrees in finance). I can't tell you how many of the positions either (i) don't respond in any way whatsoever; (ii) pull the job listing without filling the position; (iii) decide they are "punting" on the hiring requirement for 6 months; or (iv) enter into some kind of formal or informal hiring freeze mid-way through the interview process due the economy/recession and cancel the interview process. I've made it to the final round of a few of these and it's usually a similar "we are looking for somebody with a different experience/background." Okay, well then why did you waste my time going through 4-5 interviews? It's a maddening process.
@@catgirlbot I don’t think I’m facing racial discrimination as I am a white male but I’m certainly facing some kind of bias in the ATS (applicant tracking system) software and not being able to get those initial conversations with recruiters before being rejected. I’m up to 2000 applications now and just got rejected at two more final round interviews that they flew me out for, so getting closer but still not there months and months and months into this process.
@@obtjtv665 Still grinding. I was rejected from another final round interview last month where they went with an internal hire (2nd time now). Another final round rejection in April was due to "not seeming excited enough" despite me flying to Denver on my own dime to meet them, and me telling them I had another early stage interview scheduled (so I wasn't "committed enough"). Just starting up another batch of first round interviews now. Ugh.
After multiple rejections, I found out that those jobs that I applied to still looking for workers forever. Well then, just hire me! What the heck are you doing?
that's because they are not hiring. They want to LOOK LIKE they are so that they can have write off on taxes, appease stakeholders to look like they're "expanding", and to sell you data :D
I have applied for over a 120 jobs over the past two months with the most of which having primarily been focused on the food service industry and customer service which anyone could agree wouldn't be in need of much experience except for an appetite to deal with people and the mental capacity to put up with stress and I haven't gotten a single acceptance or very few interviews that eventually lead nowhere. I go to a tim hortons almost every single day and I can safely count on one hand the number of times I was ordering with someone that spoke any english or without having to manually stick my finger to the display glass where they keep the menu items so that the person handling my order would understand what customizations I want to have. I don't even know what could possibly be the drive behind this inexplicable disgusting desire for sheer and brazen incompetency provided that they have to get paid just as much as anyone else.
Sometimes when you try to follow up in person or on the phone, they tell you to wait and tell you that there’s no point because it makes you look desperate. Horrible.
As a Manager, I review all my applications and resumes. Granted I don’t have 1000 but I’m looking to see if the applicant took their time filling things out correctly…most don’t!
The one thing that annoys me so badly is submitting my resume (which has everything you need to know about me), only to have to re-submit that same info all over again in numerous ways. Having to do that on every single application is so annoyingly exhausting.
ive been apart of this nightmare. I was asked to do 8 hours of "working interview" for free even though I have 6 years of animal experience. I accused them of just wanting free labor.
Ive changed my resume 4 times had it reviewed professionally by 3 hr specialist and one from my community college change states on my resume so I can find a job in another state still nothing 10 plus years of work experience no criminal history 3 degrees just turned 30 nothing it’s rough out here
Somehow, this brings me solace. I've also applied to over a thousand jobs, fulltime and parttime work, locally and remote. Not hearing anything back is frustrating but I can deal with that. It's all the rejection emails for positions that I know I'm qualified or more than qualified for that's psychologically taxing. 17 years of corporate work experience across various industries which means I know a lot and have a lot of skills; Five years at an executive level; a degree, and it all means nothing! With all the applications I've submitted across various job sites I've landed maybe four interviews in the last year. I had an easier time finding work when I had less experience. I've changed my resume and cover letters several times. I've reached out to staffing companies. I have no criminal background. I feel like I'm on some sort of DO NOT HIRE list. I've made a new rule, if a company or organization requires that I complete a task or an assignment to go to the next phase of the hiring process, I'm not doing it. Fool me twice. It sounds crazy to say but I'm glad I'm not alone. The job market sucks and this is all so stupid.
It used to be easier for me to land at best an interview. It was hard but not impossible. But after 42 yo it got harder. I have being applying for months, many months and nothing. Absolutely nothing. I’m 44 yo in a few days and I’m a software engineer. I feel like this is not gonna end up well. I have a really bad feeling. I feel like those awful Indian recruiters have some sort of black list, shared among them. There is plenty of indian scams on LinkedIn. Every single day i receive like dozens of them. Most of the advertisings are just scams. I see myself homeless at this pace. This is not gonna end up well at all. I even started applying to data entry and customer service jobs, many months ago. The don’t hire me either. A few of them told me because I’m overqualified. I just applied to USPS. At this pace I’m working at a supermarket like a peasant again, dealing with hateful and racist people. I F hate this life. I am fuc*ed.
this, and yah that’s the thing, they don’t want to feel inadequate or something if someone has too much experience but they also don’t want someone with no or little experience…
I’m quickly joining Elizabeth with the application submissions. It’s terrifying for me to think that I will be trapped.. I mean she has a degree that benefits the fields she’s applying for! That’s more than I can say sadly. Businesses are too afraid to take on “risky investments” like myself.
Wow!!! And I thought I was the only one! In the past probably 14 years I have applied at mostly the same specific job I am VERY experienced in at this point, and nothing but constant rejection!!! And there is absolutely no logical reason for it!!!! Tired of being treated like shit!!!!
I have my own discord server just for myself just for job applications and resumes. I have channels listing all my resumes, interviews, rejection bonfire and offers (which are empty)
I'm an IT professional with 10 years of experience in Project Management, Systems Administration, and some SE work. I'm being laid off soon, but I can't get a new job anywhere.
The Labcorp in my town has two people working every day, and they have more than enough to hire several more. I’ve checked their website often to see if they are hiring at the location in my town, and no positions are/were available. And every time I’ve been there, I see those two employees working their hardest despite being behind schedule almost 100% of the time. Corporate America would rather hire less employees and stress them out with more work (gotta break last year’s record numbers somehow)- rather than hiring 2, 3, or 4 more employees to make the work environment more efficient, healthier, and safer. Corporate America and its executives should be reprimanded for how they treat their employees. Sadly, they make too much money to care.
Those definitely aren't available, either. I applied for a network tech at the college I was currently attending, got a recommendation from a few of my teachers (one of which was the networking teacher), and still got passed up, even with a 4.0 GPA in Software and Web Development, which included classes in networking.
A lot of them also deep down hate people with disabilities so if you have a disability like if you’re on the autism spectrum then you may be more likely to encounter this problem unless you personally know someone who can get you into your industry like if you had a great social relationship with your high school principal and you are a recently graduated qualified IT technician. Pretty much in that case the principal at your old high school could possibly get you a part time job as an assistant IT technician in their school IT department.
Diversity Specialist? Your results sound about right if all 1,000 were for a job looking for a "diversity specialist". That title alone sounds like a "troublemaker" position. Why do companies even have a department for that? But since she's looking for any job after a while, the problem is very clear. Technology has screwed us once again. It's too easy to apply for jobs, I can shotgun off 100 applications with the click of a mouse and when nobody calls back it's like throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. On the other end, the hiring manager will be overwhelmed with applications, many of which aren't even qualified due to the frustration experienced in step one. So what is done? Software is created to screen everything and weed out what it considers trash. Now job hunting changed from being the qualified candidate, to being the candidate that can trick AI into pushing the resume in front of HR who will send it to the hiring manager that will spend less time than a fruit fly reading over it. The software that filters out the trash is catching too many in the net and for some, they can't get jobs because they can't figure out how to get past the software since the paramaters are a secret. I believe this has a lot to do with the homeless shantees popping up in every major city. There is no great resignation. Those out of work during the pandemic developed skillsets via education or certifications and got better jobs, now the crappy jobs aren't being filled because Technology is weeding out too many applicants and the employers don't seem concerned enough to make any changes.
have applied for 300 jobs this round and no cigar so far. experienced dev (12+ years). worked in big and small tech, low-level through high-level. i wonder if it's because i'm not of a minority that gets in via quotas or is it an age thing? it's tiring applying for so many jobs and doing so many initial interviews and getting nowhere. they say there's a shortage. i don't believe it.
Do you know the farm man who own land grow his own food is the richest person and more better than these companies. Absolutely he is living comfortable life he is not worry anything he doesn't need to apply jobs . And these companies always they hiring their families, relative and friends and the people they know about you they don't give dam shit about you if you have thousand years experience this how the companies do.
@Herasi true. but you gotta afford to buy that farm land first. and remember no matter where you live that land is always in reserve to be returned to the sovereignty (almost no land is owned without reservation unless it's by a government)

Why would someone need a degree in STEM to work as an administrative assistant or as a paper-pusher in an office somewhere? This woman applied to over 1000 jobs, she's clearly not being picky.
Well Stem is not enough. It Stem and trades. You never know what labor market needs so end up have be jack of all trades I degree in mechanical engineering because graduated in 2011 I did not get job in my field. How ever I work blue collar jobs. I certainly work at factory. they hired me on spot . ever body wants to work in a office and do not want get their hand dirty.
It’s still kinda on her… if you can’t get hits for 1000 applications you’re not tailoring your resume. When I wasn’t getting hits, out of spite, I literally stole every keyword from requisition and put it in my résumé and allied for the job - even though it didn’t accurately reflect my skills and accomplishments just to put ATS to test. It worked… Also, she’d be better off applying for 10 to 20 jobs a week and trying to virtually connect with 30-50 people a week. If you’re trying to get a middle management level position, you’re not going to get that job by applying for it, you’re gonna get that job because someone internal campaigned for you to get that job. I’d actually be worried about a mid level job that wasn’t filled by a referral. You mean to tell me no one in the organization felt comfortable enough to reach out to any of their connects to apply for it? Red flag.

Those out of work during the pandemic developed skillsets via education or certifications and got better jobs, now the crappy jobs aren't being filled because Technology is weeding out too many applicants and the employers don't seem concerned enough to make any changes.
Tell me you're prejudiced without telling me you're prejudiced Lmao
Preach it
Theres over 100 applicants per job. Were overpopulated. Also these recruiting companies get your info free of charge
have applied for 300 jobs this round and no cigar so far. experienced dev (12+ years). worked in big and small tech, low-level through high-level. i wonder if it's because i'm not of a minority that gets in via quotas or is it an age thing? it's tiring applying for so many jobs and doing so many initial interviews and getting nowhere. they say there's a shortage. i don't believe it.
Do you know the farm man who own land grow his own food is the richest person and more better than these companies. Absolutely he is living comfortable life he is not worry anything he doesn't need to apply jobs . And these companies always they hiring their families, relative and friends and the people they know about you they don't give dam shit about you if you have thousand years experience this how the companies do.
@Herasi true. but you gotta afford to buy that farm land first. and remember no matter where you live that land is always in reserve to be returned to the sovereignty (almost no land is owned without reservation unless it's by a government)
@@elcapitan6126 In north America and west European countries but other countries like South America, Africa and Asia you can grow your own food and have your land the government won't intervene but in western countries is difficult. Look even the fruits and vegetables in the western countries does not taste natural but in South America, Africa and Asia the fruits and vegetables taste natural sweet it has nutrition
back at it again this year. had landed a great paying gig last year but the company laid off 100s of us recently. 200 applications in 😅. assuming it will take a while just like last time
Affirmative action
2:05 slavery still exists😂😂🤷🏾♂️
just lie like they do
Uber eats, door dash, gig jobs are available be your own boss.
Not true anymore. 😢 In 2017 I was making a living with gig jobs, but now...nothing. It's become too competitive.
@@Kitty-ig4yh Even the doordash they given everyone shift time and you will make it only 200 or 100 day not like before
I can’t get by on 15 bucks a delivery when you get 2 or 3 deliveries all day and they are on the ass end of nowhere. Plus there’s gas, wear and tear on your car risk of accidents. Did it one day and at the end of the day I lost 25 bucks. Dead end no future. Then they started to use robots they didn’t have to pay
I love how they disguise these types of jobs as being Your own Boss. It's a total lie.
Not enough money
If you have certain bills to pay it’s an ok side hustle
I’m currently starting this hell, 3 1/2 months in and not a single interview.

She is not helping herself by going on tv. She is just telling world she is not hireable.
Sometimes it's as simple as reworking your resume to subtract or add some words that will draw the attention to your resume.
Disagree.
yep, totally disagree.
Disagree 😒
I've tried reworking my resume 5 times and it never makes a difference
So now it's just the wrong words out of 1000 applications?
Diversity specialist? You took the wrong degree. We have been pushing stem in schools for years....you should have paid attention.
Why would someone need a degree in STEM to work as an administrative assistant or as a paper-pusher in an office somewhere? This woman applied to over 1000 jobs, she's clearly not being picky.
Well Stem is not enough. It Stem and trades. You never know what labor market needs so end up have be jack of all trades I degree in mechanical engineering because graduated in 2011 I did not get job in my field. How ever I work blue collar jobs. I certainly work at factory. they hired me on spot . ever body wants to work in a office and do not want get their hand dirty.
I didn't know all positions in all companies are in STEM. I guess those 1000 jobs she applied for went to STEM graduates.
That was only one of the jobs she applied for. That's not her specialty.
Diversity Officers make around $150k.
It’s still kinda on her… if you can’t get hits for 1000 applications you’re not tailoring your resume. When I wasn’t getting hits, out of spite, I literally stole every keyword from requisition and put it in my résumé and allied for the job - even though it didn’t accurately reflect my skills and accomplishments just to put ATS to test. It worked…
Also, she’d be better off applying for 10 to 20 jobs a week and trying to virtually connect with 30-50 people a week.
If you’re trying to get a middle management level position, you’re not going to get that job by applying for it, you’re gonna get that job because someone internal campaigned for you to get that job.
I’d actually be worried about a mid level job that wasn’t filled by a referral. You mean to tell me no one in the organization felt comfortable enough to reach out to any of their connects to apply for it? Red flag.
