the sheer RELIEF I’m feeling my god. I came so close to offing myself so many times lmao. This goddamnit labor market is TRASH.
I’ve accepted it obviously and waiting for the next steps. Gonna drink some nice wine I bought a while ago.
congrats!
the fucked up thing is that 100 applications is actually a really low amount for an offer. i probably get an interview every 400.
Just got a great job after applying maybe 500 times, and that was the first offer I got.
I had a good resume but hardly any interviews for like 6 months. Then I realized some of the experience autofill things were fucking up, and if they fuck up, then the resume scanning system is probably not able to read that shit properly either.
I changed my resume, it looks just a little worse, but it’s got no tables and no weird formatting. It looks decent in NOTEPAD now. This new resume got me like 6 interviews in a month, and I was applying a lot more slowly. I literally have an interview I still need to go turn down. My SO went through the same experience with the old and new resume. Look up ATS testers. Make the stupid robot understand
The place I just got hired at was super, super excited to find me. Guess what? I applied to the same job on the old resume a couple months ago and THEY NEVER SAW IT BECAUSE IT GOT AUTO FILTERED. Literally these fucking things will do a half assed attempt at scanning the resume, try to collect information like employment gaps, fill a field like “Date of Employment” with the words “Attention to detail” and then conclude that you have NaN years of experience, and reject you.
Interesting, so what you just type it all flat in word or how exactly do you format it?
There aren’t even 400 openings in my field in my whole state, I’d be doomed if that were the case for me. That sounds so frustrating. I finally got an offer after sending in probably 25 applications over the last six months and that was already frustrating enough. Too few companies will let you know they’ve decided to go with other applicants.
Congratulations comrade! Long term unemployment sucks so much ass and its existence alone should be enough for us to abandon capitalism forever
The only thing worse than working is not working
Well done and congrats. I’m about to go through the same myself and I can’t say I’m thrilled
One time I got an offer, they said they’d send in a contract, then they delayed, then called me to say that won’t get the job because I’m overqualified and would leave after 6 months I hate everything
