I hate my current job I want to leave, but the job market is super competitive. I should have gone into a real field like law or medicine, instead of finance what a fucking meme

>Get a job, you dirty hippie!
you're trash
i apply at fast food resturaunts and janitor jobs every day.
I sent 100 this week amd got one call back. Just go to indeed and apply to the ones marked as easy apply. Fuck filling one tbose long ass forms.
I do mid level accounting/fp&a stuff for small builders or small energy companies.
I made a huge mistake and now I can’t get out
I thought it was a great time to get a job? Lots of people are unemployed finishing off their covid payments and other people got a taste of the neet life and decided to stay so lots of industries are hiring. or not?
Tailor your CV and cover letter to the role and its requirements, i.e. mention skills and qualities that the job and specifies.
Also, make sure that your resume is done neatly and is clear to read through & not filled with bloat. If it fails to catch recruiter's eye then it will most likely be dismissed outright.
I had the same approach as you have and had no luck. I took some coaching to improve my resume and results came quickly. You need to make them feel that you thoroughly read through their requirements, not that you sent them the same thing you probably did to 20 other companies.
i'm a neet of five years, i've applied to a few hundred entry level wagie jobs and heard nothing back. there are literally no jobs.
Also I feel that if you submit a resume and don’t hear back to schedule an initial phone call within 2 business days, there’s a 99% chance you’re never gonna hear from them
You're a liar lmao
i'm not lying. fuck you faggot
same, but for a fucking IT intern position. it's so fucking over for me
Where do you live?
I studied law and I hated it. Finally decided go for an accounting degree (paid by the gouvernment since it's a bottleneck profession) and I've already gotten 4 job offers when still have to do a semester. I study for free and get €1100 benefits per month.
I'm from Belgium
You are lying, there are places with gigantic "please apply here" signs in every town in america. Go into a fast food place and ask for the manager, shake his hand and fill out an app while you're in the store. Show some fucking drive and initiative instead of making shit up on the internet and then acting butthurt because you applied to a few jobs on indeed and didnt get a callback. Grow the fuck up and take a job even if its beneath you you literal manchild faggot. I run a temp agency and I'd take one look at you and just know you weren't cut out for it I bet you havent worked a day in your life
United States.
I did not realize that if you go accounting and don’t immediately start working for a big 4 firm, or an investment bank, you are fucked and nobody will want to hire you.
Do you believe everything the news says?
>Yea Forums - Television & Film
yea bro, that's the accounting game.
i live in uk, but it probably isn't any different to america. i get it you're a retarded fucking boomer who actually thinks that there are opportunities. there are none. i hear back from none despite applying for everything in a 25 mile radius for months. go fuck yourself faggot
McDonalds and Amazon Fulfillment are hiring. Comfy white collar jobs? Yeah not so much. Coronahoax, among other things, was a mechanism for transferring unskilled labor from small and medium sized businesses to giant globocorp slave farms
Yeah well I didn’t know that and it’s retarded my career. At this point I’m better off learning SQL and Python so I can get into some higher level analysis/reporting role
Just apply to the local tesco or asda. Or go work for deliveeoo
Excuses excuses. If you wanted to work, you'd work. You're just a lazy eurocuck. Your ancestors were lazy too that's why we mopped the floor with you in the revolutionary war
i have. i can't apply to that though as i can't drive.
so mature...
Yep, this is true. I'm currently voluntarily unemployed as I'm trying to transition out of being an attorney. And like there are so many positions that I'm sort of in decision paralysis. OP is either a tranny or flagrantly advertises his schizophrenia in his job applications (or, possibly, both).
Tone down the trolling please, this is a good thread
>the job market is super competitiv
Do you live in some super irrelevant not-America country?
You must suck at your job and be a total sperg. I quit my job in December so I could just chill in Colorado and when I came back home in March I called my old job and they took me back.
Did you try to give them a firm handshake?
You be your own boss and suck dicks as a sole proprietorship user, you don’t have to apply anywhere
All I want in life is
>comfy non-stressful job
>loving gf
>house by the beach on one of my country's small colonies lost in the pacific
I'm, uh, not all there yet haha
How in the shit can you not get hired right now. Everyone at my office literally gets cold called by other companies desperate for workers.
Sounds comfy
I should have provided more detail.
I could make a lateral move tomorrow, the issue is moving up which I should be able to by now, but not getting call backs
he's probably european. here they can hire a third worlder willing to work double the hours for half he pay.
>I run a temp agency and I'd take one look at you and just know you weren't cut out for it
You're kinda proving him right, there.
The problem is, is that now EVERYONE knows that most jobs will just work you to death then curtain-jerk you with pay raises only to dump you after 5 years, so job hopping is basically the only way now to get ahead. Jobs/careers know this and have set up impossible hidden requirements in their hiring algorithms (because everything is automated now) in order to get people who will inevitably work twice for much less than they should. Pro-tip, put "other" in as much categories that allow you too if you are not within the protected classes, saying "no" can tip the systems to disqualify you automatically
The practice of law sucks, I want to be like an importer or something. And this is the best job market of my lifetime, so unless I cuck myself somehow, I'm going to be able to do something more interesting that hopefully pays as much.
Another reason I don't get user. If he lives anywhere in America, they're like beating down doors hire anyone they can get. He could walk into almost any business in almost any city and get an interview. It's a wild time right now.
>this is a good thread
lmao
just outright fucking lie and call yourself a jew, a gypsies or part arab. what are they going to do, really? if they do figure it out you'll have been hired and they won't give you the sack over it.
How arent you guys getting headhunters constantly contacting you? did you not properly take care of your linkedin profile or something?
>I run a temp agency
SO YOUR THE WAGE-FIXING SCUM MAKING IT HARD FOR PEOPLE TO GET A JOB
> Pro-tip, put "other" in as much categories that allow you too if you are not within the protected classes, saying "no" can tip the systems to disqualify you automatically
I have a feeling this is happening to me. I always pick “I choose not to disclose” but I feel like that’s hurting me. I am seriously considering lying and claiming I’m Hispanic at this point
If you have a drop of Iberian cum in your blood then you are "Hispanic"
T.portugese Chad on mother's side
this
Part irish you can get away with calling yourself a gypsy, part mediterranean you can get away with calling yourself Hispanic. What's to lose?
I'm hispanic and it's not helping. Maybe I need to identify as trans.
Why are they conspiring to keep ordinary decent people out of work bros?
>fa/tv/irgins
>ordinary decent people
The only places hiring are fast food and retail. Good jobs are still nearly impossible to find.
is it really? in the e. europe there is constant need for accountants. is it really that bad ameribro?
your application is probably shit
That’s because a ton of American companies outsource and have “ back offices” in places like Eastern Europe, India, and SE Asia
Nothing against you personally, but this is basically theft being perpetrated against the American workforce, aided and abetted by the government
Law is hilarious. Im on my own and do whatever I want.
I want the government to give me a job. I do not want to humiliate myself over and over just to do braindead tasks to have a roof over my head. I couldn't care less about muh freedumbz because they are not real anyway.
Same, I thought networking was a meme but it turned out I wasted all my time at college trying to learn Iol
Thats called the military, retard.
Because those people can't be fired for cheap labor
I've tried that and it didn't work either. I have tried every race, every gender, and even claimed to have a disability.
autism is a disability btw
Haven’t worked in a decade nobody’s gonna hire me are they cuz it’ll look like I’m a dead beat lol I got too used to neet life and haven’t been able t get off my ass ever since but I know my parents are gonna kick me out sooner or later so I better start looking
Euro (western) companies do the same, our legacy dev team is completely on-site but some of the new tech ones are like 60 or 70% p(r)oles or chinks with just a few whites to supervise, don't know how they handle it
They don’t actually want to hire people with disabilities or veterans, you know that right?
They want people of color
this, quality not quanity. you should be sending out 10-15 per week max
I hear the pay for janitor jobs is real good, you should definitely keep applying.
They don’t, they get burnt out and quit but it doesn’t matter because they can post the job and get 100 applications in the first week.
This entire thing is a massive fucking scam
>finance
Change your surname to something yiddish, BAM instant job offers.
Boomer advice
Who else /small business/?
>got a job as an auto detailer at some boomer's shop along with 3 other employees
>boss is near retirement and didn't want to put any more money into the business or even bother to advertise for it, so it was slowly dying as a result
>polished cars, did scratch repairs, detailed interiors for $15/hour
>used covid as an excuse to lay off the other two guys and just kept me because I'm his best worker
>basically just service 4-5 big accounts
>he's rarely even there, I'm running the business for him essentially
>ask him how much it would cost to buy the business and the shop space, wanted $150,000 for the business and $200k for the shop back right before covid
>what the fuck this place only makes $100k a year
>he gets really pissy with me and cheap, ask for a $2/hour raise and he tells me no
>register my own small business and buy all new, better tools, a panel van and supplies all for $20k on loan, become a mobile detailing business
>quit abruptly without notice
>contact the couple of decent clients my boss had left and undercut his prices by 25%
>destroy his business over the next 6 months taking customers as he hired two highschool wagies to try to cover my workload, but they did shit work and even burned through the original paint on a 1967 chevelle worth a fortune during a polish
>he was writing fake reviews for my shop on google so I had them delete them all and sent him a legal warning
>see his business shut down for good last month, it's being remodeled into a coffee shop
>made $87,000 this year compared to $22,000 working my ass off for him
Holy BASED
You're an asshole and a traitor and I unironically hope you get what's coming to you
Your grandma is hispanic. There you go. Nobody’s ever going to verify that
$300,000 total was a reasonable offer with $350,000 being fairly close.
when does the hopeless "is this it?" feeling go away?
How difficult was it starting off? Any tips?
Lmao, you might as well believe Santa Claus is real while you're at it.
you need to start lying on your CV
telling the truth is getting you nowhere
Nice
His sack of shit boss was the one who declared war when he got pissy and refused a small raise because user said no to his retarded price offer for a dying business
I already am embellishing pretty heavily, the only option left is to flat out lie about skills I don’t possess, which seems risky.
I don’t want to tell people I know Python if I don’t
If you aren't retardede, which I'll assume you aren't, that's the easiest way of branching out. Old corps are still treading ground there and you can be a fuckup but no one else does it.
You're unloyal. I refuse to hire people like you.
Unironically learn2code. I got my degree in psychology and was a C student and just dicked around all college playing games. Worked a Gamestop for a few years when I graduated. I started learning basic programming doing ARMA modding, and just did some Salesforce certs for free online. Now I make $110k/yr as a Salesforce Dev.
unironically this.
till you have made it they wont even check to see if your “previous employer” even knows you exist
I have yet to get an actual knowledge and skill ability test during an interview too.
I have fucked some interviews up though because my non answer failed and really was unsatisfactory.
but better fail an interview than not get one
If you treat an employee like shit, you create a competitor. Deal with it, you boomerino fuck
