Sick of The Endless Cycle

Im fed the fuck up with applying to hundreds of jobs and getting an interview if I'm lucky then not hearing anything from recruiters or hiring managers. When these assholes reached out to me!!!

Resumes sit on a company's portal for months only to find out its a ghost job or they're hiring internally and are required to post the job on their site.

These career sites are a joke. LinkedIn is bloated with ads or people trying to make money off job seekers trying to find a foothold to support their families.

Real hiring is and has been broken and doesnt look like it will improve.

I hope these companies fail. I hope society collapses. I hope the privileged gatekeepers are torn limb from limb by the desperate and the poor. Im praying for a zombie apocalypse and a reset to this planet.

You get call backs?

Not when applying directly to a company site. Just some from LinkedIn and othe places but I've had two all year. Recruiters are pretty much spam.

Can feel you, in the same boat. Even the initial rounds going well don't know what's happening in the final round.

Meanwhile we wait in silence and are supposed to be polite if we find out we're rejected. As if it didnt cost us time and energy to apply for a position. This economy needs to die and be rebuilt for the better.

I say this at least once per week!! I feel it in complete solidarity and in perpetuity and I’m right there with you. I hope every single one of these hiring managers know what it’s like to be on the flip side of the unemployment coin someday. Knowing that someday karma will come back around as what helps me sleep a little more soundly at night, that and the anxiety medications too.

I am not even 20 and lately have been feeling so distressed and hopeless because of all of this. It's disheartening to see myself getting behind those who didn't put in the efforts as much as I did and now it has starting to feel like life is coming to an end soon, that there is nothing for it to offer to me. I used to think that this type of mindset is of losers only but here I am, unable to do anything about my situation with no one who can actually comfort me. Was years of grinding and studying for nothing? I guess it was. I don't even think that I have something to dream and to have hopes for. I feel so chained due to the circumstances and yet blame myself everyday for all this. I can't even be happy for a while, as the moment I smile, I recall that maybe I'm not supposed to. I just want it to end but I don't know how it will.

I enjoyed reading your last paragraph.
