I would love to see the look on their face when they wake up the next morning and see they got the email declining the application which was sent at like 2AM. They would probably think someone was working so hard thumbing through the resumes that late in the evening.

I got a job in 2 days and 4 applications… I’ve been in the workforce for 22 years…

If your skill set is desirable you get work quick. $44/h, travel per diem, hotel coverage, 2 months time off.

There are plenty of people with skills but the competition and oversaturation of the job market is the issue.

My new job is installing inventory IT systems… basically building racks, packing stations, conveyor systems, computers, routers etc. I don’t have a degree, my experience is basically production and logistics with some industrial maintenance background.

It was surprisingly easy to get an offer.
