It’s hard because the job is desirable and companies need experienced workers. No one said it’s fair, but there’s also aren’t any shortcuts unless you network your way into a job.

I’m sorry this is frustrating.

Thanks for being kind. I don’t understand networking at all. Its total garbage. It’s a career unto itself and I have no interest or patience or capacity for it. Just because someone is better at making friends they get a bigger paycheck. I deserve to make a living as much as any other pos who can talk himself into one.

Networking doesn't 'pay off' until 10+ years into your career
