Job hunting and career changes are DISCOURAGING

[Schmoove]

I've spent the last 7 years in media and very few of my skills translate into the real world. :ojflabby:

Doesn't help that employers are basically looking for employees that don't exist. They're basically :flabbybron:

Don't even get me started on applying for government gigs.

Omg, I feel you! Im looking for new gig too, these openings are asking basically for god as an applicant. I'm looking at product marketing, they want you to have advertising, marketing, engineering, coding skills at the same damn time, I'm like who has had all these jobs in the 4-7 yrs of experience this requires.

Can feel you man. I went back to school after getting laid off a few times, and wanting a more stable career. The requirements for some of these jobs are ridiculous even for an educated workforce. They all want 45 y.o. workers.

That's why i don't fault people for lying on their resume. Jobs put all these bullshyt requirements to get experienced people they can low ball and not have to train. I remember being unemployed and told i needed 2 years experience and a degree for a fukking mail room job. Its sorting mail.

I looked at requirements and qualifications for my position on a job my company posted. You wouldve thought it was for the CEO spot. I showed my coworkers and we started cracking up. We only did like 5 of the 14 qualifications and had 1-2 of the requirements.

And at jobs wanting years of experience and a degree for entry level pay. If I've been doing it for years that means i know what the going rate is for my skill level.

Finding a job aint that hard. Finding a job that pays a comfortable salary (40k + a year) is hard as fukk. Too much competition.

It's about who you know, not what you know...........wish I was better at networking

 

[john goodman]

Lie your ass off.... Network hard as fukk.

Like professional organizations... Email people and ask to meet at their office or for coffee

entry level positions jobs that require 2-3 years experience

I'm in the process of switching careers too well kinda into a different field from where I'm at. Its definitely hard out there trying to get a gig that requires so much for the position even for an entry level position. Been on the networking shyt but haven't crossed by any leads yet. I'm trying to stay optimistic, hopefully something happens soon.
