I got a job interview at Dollar General. GMail filed it as spam, so I missed my appointment.
Whatever happened to just talking to a human in person and saying ‘I need a job, and I’ll try not to clog your toilet’?
I remember being in my twenties. I got a BS in “organizational psychology” thinking I’d be the best at picking the perfect people for some very worthy endeavor.
I should have gone to trade school. Doing electives was cool, but my unused degree is shit. I guess it got me a bullshit job sending emails and updating 400 versions of the same fucking spreadsheet every day.
Do you at least make a decent salary?
It’s livable, but not really commensurate with the stress of the role. Haven’t seen inbox zero in years, and we’re chronically understaffed.
Sounds like status quo
In my lifetime I got to watch it go from just being able to walk into any place and ask if they were hiring and you might talk to a manager and hand them your resume to 100% online and you are automatically rejected the millisecond you hit send on the application.
This was super frustrating when I was looking for a job last year. A few “sure” job interviews that went well (reached multiple stages of the interview process) ended up getting ghosted.
I even had one company in the past ghost me for a year and a half before contacting me again for the role. I was like dude, I already found another job.
This is not realistic at all. In sweden they are all blonde and a bit to cute, so you forgive them.
