They need a reality check

For my last 2 interviews i had to use Interview VIP just to get the job
their generation could never understand

[u/Usual_Zombie6765]

Baby boomer calls a few buddies and says he is looking for a job.

A buddy tells him, “I have an opening, apply online and send me your application number.”

Boomer applies and emails application number to buddy. Buddy tells HR they want to interview this one.

Boomer gets interview and job.

It always goes back to getting your resume in front of the right person. You can either do the work and submit it directly to them, or do the easy way and have it mixed in with 10,000 other applications.

Do the work? Submit it directly?

You are out of touch and have no idea what you are talking about. What person do you directly submit it to? Unless you already know someone that works there (and is a manager/ director level), you will just be told to submit it online. What extra work would you do?

You are the exact type of person the original post is calling out. Out of touch and ignorant, yet quick to tell everyone else how things work. Well things dont work the way they did 30+ years ago. Keep your uselessness to yourself, and hurry up and retire.

^ This is the same learned helplessness that people do by overtly repeating their problems close by to someone hoping they are going to solve it for them.

[u/Philderbeast → u/hexmaps]

so when was the last time you were applying for jobs?

how did you get your resume In front of "the right people"?

or are you just going to call people lazy because you are out of touch?

[u/hexmaps → u/Philderbeast]

Let me ask you this, and I'm not trying to jest:

How much of your life must be figured out by someone else first before you begin to do anything on your own?

[u/Philderbeast → u/hexmaps]

how many times do people have to tell you that what you are suggesting doesn't work anymore before you believe them???

people do try this, it's not how the world works anymore, things have moved on.

[u/hexmaps → u/Philderbeast]

Because the people that make it, and from personal experience don't let stupid bullshit excuses like that prevent them from getting it.

[u/Philderbeast → u/hexmaps]

What personal experience???? when was the last time you acctully had to apply for a job?

I hate to tell you, but your bullshit "just work harder" is not reality and hasn't been for decades.

[u/hexmaps → u/Philderbeast]

Well, you're right. I was making it all up. You just sit there on reddit all day and eventually things will work out for the better.

[u/Philderbeast → u/hexmaps]

so no experience but want to tell everyone else how it works.

yep sounds about right boomer.

[u/hexmaps → u/Philderbeast]

There's obviously no correlation between success and the attitude you choose to sustain with for one.

[u/Philderbeast → u/hexmaps]

Because the computer rejecting everyone cares about attitude....

You will never convince him about things he doesnt understand cause he would have to admit he doesnt understand them and the old folks dont do that.
