Wish I could say that because it’s true! Rant … Look employers. People need jobs. That’s why they want to work there… ok? That’s it. I’m so tired of spending my time updating my resume and cover letter every time I applying to a job, then jumping through hoops to get through a recruiter phone screen, then weeks of waiting, then 3 rounds of interviews with judgy, entitled, jackwagon interviewers who are clearly on a power trip because THEY know YOU know THEY can reject YOU! 🙄 These bottom of the barrel, “last place I’d ever want to work at” companies get off on making people grovel for a job. I’m over it! People need jobs so they can afford to LIVE in this freaking country! Do you get that? It’s not because your company is f\*cking special ok? Stop trying to make it about you! Also, just because you have a job doesn’t make you superior to unemployed candidates. Show some respect! The job market won’t always be like this - someday it will be a candidate’s market again. Those you mistreat today, will have the power again so don’t get your feelings hurt when that time comes and they drop you like a hot potato and leave for a better gig or won’t return your recruiting phone call because NOW you need them. It will happen - then you will grovel. Stop making candidates gush about the role and prove how much they worship your company knowing you’re going to reject them anyway, just so you can pump up your weak ass egos. I said what I said. After 9-months on this job search treadmill, I’m not bitter or anything 🤣
