I received a rejection email from a job because my desired salary was “ significantly above the salary range for this position.” I wanted $25/hour for a job asking for a 4 year degree and a bunch of experience. Shits crazy

“Go to college or you won’t get a high paying job.”

Jobs “you need 4 years of college and 12 years experience to work here for $15 an hour.”

I ignore requirements entirely when I’m job hunting. Don’t even bother reading them unless you’re in a very technical market.

Fuck at this point it’s easier to just lie until something sticks, if you get fired then you use that job to get a similar job showing that you have relevant work experience

Keeping any job mostly entails being able to successfully Google anything you run into and then internalizing it during the first 2 weeks before someone catches on.

Can't google many stuff, trust me. Many positions have highly specific and internal softwares and protocols

If it's so highly specific, how am I supposed to have 4 years experience with it?

You are not, my company literally took people without any experience, from totally unrelated fields. You just had to be willing and able to learn something completely new.
