I've got a comfy well paying government job. not my problem

I got a 60-hour a week internship for minimum wage because no one else wanted to put up with that but it directly led to me my extremely cozy and well-paid full time position now. Not to sound like a boomer but sometimes you have to crack a few eggs to make an omelet.

Don't use that shit site


>Linkdin is fucking useless
I got a senior dev job through there... Works ok. My current job hired me through a recruiter that friends with me in LinkedIn too.

>All company websites look like they haven't been updated since 2012
Go through a recruiter.

>You can't apply in person
Yeah that sucks.

>You can't follow up
You absolutely can who told you not to follow up? Even recruiters say you should always follow up with the hiring manager.

>You can't even ask if they are hiring
Yeah you can? Lmfao

These are the only ways to get a job in America right now if you're just starting out and have no experience:
>1) be an attractive young woman
I'm mostly including this as a joke, but it's also true. 75% of the the new hires at my office were clearly only brought on board because the boomers who run the company wanted some eye candy.
>2) accept defeat and work a shitty blue collar job with terrible hours that destroys your body
You also have to post online about how college is a scam and that everyone should learn a trade to help maintain the facade that you don't hate the way your life has ended up.
>3) friends and family connections/nepotism
This is how myself and virtually everyone I know got our jobs. None of these jobs are high paying or particularly desirable, but at least it's a job that provides income, experience, and security. Use every relationship you have, especially older family members who've been employed for decades and no tons of other employed boomers. Those are the people sort of who are going to be hiring you.

When I finished college I had already been applying to jobs for half a year leading up to my graduation. After graduation I lived at home with my parents applying for another year. Every day all I did was search for job and send out applications. I kept a spreadsheet of all the different companies I'd applied to, where they were, and if I got a reply or not. These were the final numbers:
>340 days
>733 applications
>12 rejection emails
>2 initial interviews
>1 followup interview (where the guy was over half an hour late)
>0 job offers
In the end my only job offer came from a company I never even applied to. My mom had been telling all of her friends that I couldn't find a job, and eventually some guy who was a friend of a friend of a friend reached out to me because one of the summer interns they had coming in had bailed last minute. It was pure luck, but it wouldn't have happened without family connections.

One more thing:
>Linkdin is fucking useless
This is unfortunately not true. I wish it was. LinkedIn may be the most soul destroying virtual experience after dating apps, but it's extremely useful for job hunting. The purpose of LinkedIn is to basically simulate what I described in my previous reply. It's to build connections with people within your field which could potentially give you leverage when applying to jobs. I know it sucks to add people to "connect", but it's better to just rip the bandaid off and do it instead of waiting. See if anyone from your university went to the company you're applying to. If it's a big enough company there's a good chance at least someone is. If you're brave (read: desperate) enough, reach out to them and ask them if they're willing to chat.

Try government jobs.

I spent years applying to Jobs, and only ever heard back from government jobs.

Private company postings might be fake, but it seems that at least the government hasn't fallen to that yet.


>>212362316
>7.8M openings
>openings
Most of thoes never hire anyone. They are fake.

>>212362482
do americans work 60 hour weeks?

honestly i thought it was a europoor cope that you work that much. not that i wouldnt if the government let me, but you are kinda capped at 40 even by your employer most of the time because usually overtime is paid more.

>>212362482
>mandatory promotion to manager
Fuck no. That is just a trick to make you spend more hours at work doing the tasks of multiple people while also being responsible for the fuck ups of everyone else.

The world you educated fucks live in is miles away from the world a never gone to university guy like me. The times i’ve switched jobs its through friends or earlier colleagues setting me up. A quick 15 minutes interview with the boss and then you’re hired

>>212364708
Only trade wagies are working that many hours

>>212362190 (OP)
This is why I went back to school after graduating. I already have pretty low student debt and won't be taking on much more in loans. How else am I supposed to carve out a comfy middle-class existence?

>>212362190 (OP)
I'm going to be honest, I don't even want a career anymore. I missed the boat on getting one where I was happy, and I jumped ship from one that was making me unhappy. Now I just want something to pay the bills that won't take up all my mental space so I can enjoy my hobbies when I'm not at work.
