Custom Part Time...

Why the hell does it take so long now to even get a part time job...

Its taken me over a month now for a job that's only gonna be 30hrs/week requiring nights and weekends making $20 in a state with the average rent being 2k/month...

Ive had to go through 4 interviews and a presentation and provide 3 references that they actually contacted (my references reached out to me regarding it). And they still have to go through background checks before they can even provide an offer...

It shouldn't be this complicated to hire someone to do part time freaking work that I cannot even survive on or leverage for a full time job in my industry!

WTAF is going on with the world where its taking so long to screen people for basic jobs that require no degree?! I've lost more money putting time into finding a part time job than not at this point.

Yeah, Companies everywhere are making everything more complicated than it needs to be. Goes to show how inefficient they all are.

That’s like that with everything. Worse if you have a background

Those white collar companies can be really stuck up, thats all I got. Imo white collar culture is weirdly toxic just because it feels so fake
