#job hunting is hell

Retail Jobs I’ve Applied to:

You need to have AT LEAST three years of prior experience in this exact field for this entry level position. The last thing we want to do is spend more than five minutes training you. Why have you worked such a wide variety of jobs? Where’s your commitment? You better have amazing references. Oh, and complete these online tests to prove to us that you are worthy of us possibly glancing at your resume before we throw it straight in the trash. You better be available every hour of every day - anything less means you’re not truly committed to this job. Remember, people like you are a dime-a-dozen and easily replaceable, and you should be grateful that we’re paying you slightly more than minimum wage. You’d better not be expecting any benefits.

The Investment Company I Applied to:

Oh, you’ve got a bachelor’s degree? That’s excellent. Not in business? That’s fine - getting a degree at all shows that you’re willing to put in the work and learn. No prior experience specifically in this field? No worries - we’ll train you. This is a Monday to Friday position. Obviously, we’ll be paying you a living wage for this entry level position, and you need to use your PTO days, because they only partially rollover to the next year. What sort of year end bonus are you expecting? Let us tell you a little bit about our standard benefits. …are you okay? Why are you crying?

So I know everybody says you should lie at job interviews (well not you should lie but just a lot of people do to get the job)

I’ve…not been lying. I’ve been telling the truth and being myself..

is that what I’m doing wrong?? Is that why I’m not getting jobs??

This woman from the recruitment agency wanted me to explain the gaps in my resume ON the actual resume...

Like, I had kids and we made do on one income then I separated from the father of my kids and was on the benefit then was in a new relationship and she was studying and it was enough then I was studying...

No one ever wants to hire me anyway so...

i can't get over how evil it is that "gap in your resume" is considered a valid reason to not hire someone like "hmmm sorry you weren't working constantly every day of your life we need people who do nothing but work until they drop dead for us we just don't think you're right for the job" fuck youuuu

i find it funny when people are like "if youre gonna be like that you can just leave" expecting you to immediately change your attitude and beg to be allowed to stay. i didnt even want to be here in the first place if you say the words "you can just leave" im outta there so fast i leave a me shaped hole in the wall.

especially if that person has been my employer for 10 whole minutes and has done nothing but rapid fire everything wrong with my outfit when they didnt tell me the dress code besides "black shirt and black pants" and then start getting rude and disrespectful when i start getting overwhelmed and ask if i can come in on thursday instead of wednesday so i can fix everything wrong with my uniform.

"if youre gonna be like that we cant have you here" ok bye! am i supposed to get on my hands and knees and beg you to let me stay? you have already shown enough disrespect for the whole day in 10 minutes when i have made it abundantly clear that this is my first job EVER and i am extremely nervous. you will not disrespect me just because you are my boss. respect is earned and that goes for people in positions of "authority" as well

(i write authority in quotes becasue what the hell are you gonna do? fire me? i just left! you have no real authority in the real world and you take that out on the people who work for you, because youre a weak little man with no control over his own life, who conditioned them into thinking they have no other real option besides working for you and homelessness. but you forget there are still people who have free will and can leave whenever they want, and autistic people who dont give a shit about what you think about them for doing that)
