Having to set up an account just to fill out an online application is insane.

After 9 months of looking the job I found was a disaster, I decided to leave my career, move to a smaller city mortgage free and just drive forklift (got a job in two days.) Have never been happier.

Entry level now requires 3-5 years experience. We value employees is the biggest lie its such a joke.
@brettstarks1846
Not broken, but working exactly as designed. They like seeing the peasants on their toes, jumping through hoops, and mentally exhausted. Makes for more submissive, easily exploitable employees.
@ndcopy7210
A lot of employers actually seem to want people to be a jack of all trades so they can get you to do free work instead of hiring a second person.

It’s not about who is the most competent person, it’s about who can fit in most with the company culture (read be a walking mat)

When the economy sucks, it's all about who you know.
@user-lu6yg3vk9z
The job Market isn’t broken this is how they want it. They want the highest quality candidate that they can exploit for peanuts in pay. Keeping a skeleton crew where employees will be doing multiple job positions while getting paid for one job position. When employees complain about hiring new people they put job ads out to show employees they put job ads out but, never hire no one.

I'm overwhelmed, burnt out, under paid, and constantly having crisis after crisis thrown at me, both personally and professionally. Reaction is survival at this point
@lg3103
I don't mind being ghosted after the initial interview but once I make it through the 2nd and 3rd round (speak with 5+ people on separate Teams video calls) and then the employer disappears. At that point, it is unprofessional and rude!
@Jake-mi3bj
And employers cry that we do bare minimum. What a joke
@CVernRock
A lot of jobs I'm finding are 'ghost jobs'.... jobs their advertising their hiring for, but don't ever acknowledge applicants or even give answers when called about said jobs.

As a recently laid off programmer: Having to take a 3 hour exam just for a *chance at an interview is like something out of a dystopian story. This sector of the job market is in crisis with openings having over 100 applicants before a single day passes. One opening up for 4 days was just shy of a thousand applicants. I've been at this so long, I don't know anything else and been looking for 2 months with zero interviews. Yesterday, for the first time in my adult life, I filled out a non-programming job application. It felt surreal explaining what I did in non-technical terms.
@Cmarquezl8
Having a job is rocket science, the joke is now true. Having to tailor your resume with surgical precision, networking with the right people, and specializing in something while you have been unemployed for 1 year, broke, and depressed sounds AMAZING🙌🏼 nice.

As a retired support professional with a disability, I’d say one of the best jobs right now is working from home for an investment expert, managing records. I make over 260k annually in this role.
@TheOtomo
I'm not a pet in a pet shop! Employment is a contract for exclusive services, nothing more. The employment system is broken because the people in these companies want 'Buddies' and playmates because they are all in cult mind-set and have no life outside of the company/cult. This idea that 'I have to be your perfect cult recruit' is absurd. A job is a job, but a cult is a lifestyle that is very selective in who they let in. Do you get it now! I hope so.
@Jbig1430
The issue is even if you apply to jobs you are highly qualified for the job they will never make it to the interview process. The ATS system has been the worse thing that ever happened it allows lazy hiring managers to be even more lazy.
@bigkev9539
The employers are the problem. It's an ugly truth that we don't want to admit. They've turned the online job hunt into online dating in ALL the worst ways possible. And of course, people would rather gaslight job seekers than to admit it.
@NotMrNimbus
10 months and 32 different opportunities later I was offered a job. 24 Days PTO 10% 401K yearly contribution 100% medical insurance contribution 40 hour week never work past 5PM Fridays work from home. All I had to do was spend most my savings and face the void and nearly drown. Some say don’t quit without another job lined up. They are right. Hard to enjoy time off when you can’t turn off existential anxiety of becoming homeless. When you stick the landing though… 40 hours a week for the rest of your life. Congratulations!
