why cant i just give my resume to the government and they find me a fucking job :meow-tableflip:
and yeah i had the same thing with getting ghosted late in the process. pretty sure they figure out im trans at some point when digging through my records and they go poof. im hyper qualified in what i do. still have a job rn but i would like one that pays less shit. like every fucking interview theyre like 'oh wow youre very qualified, oh wow you answered the questions great, oh wow would you like to be a team lead???' and then they just gtfo
They do that in Hungary, but it's really just they call you after two weeks saying "we haven't found anything but you can be a streetcleaner for half the minimum wage" and if you don't take it they'll stop sending you unemployment benefits too.
They do that in Denmark as well, only they pretend they it's not an actual job and legally you're still classified as unemployed. This means that not only do you have to work a full time job for dogshit wages with no labour rights, you also have to deal with bureaucratic job centre bullshit and be able to document that you're applying for at least two jobs a week. Otherwise you get nothing.
Pre-80s China was literally just this, you would graduate from uni/HS, declare your intent for employment, and the government would assign you something that fit your qualifications, prioritizing places close to where you lived. There would still be an approvals and interview process but it was actually to assess how good you were at your job and not to jerk off about connections or giving you personality quiz grifts.
This is what we're fighting for. To get rid of this shit.
Best of luck, comrade. :anarchy-heart:
They were assholes to fire you for defending yourself. Wtf is wrong with transphobes? I'm sorry you're going through this, job hunting sucks at the best of times.
People whose job is to contest unemployment claims are the biggest pieces of shit in all possible worlds.
No, that is the way the industry is. Pretty much any amount mmount of shitty behaviors towards staff is considered part of the process.
Defending yourself from customers or patients or w/e is always frowned upon. You're supposed to let them berate you.
I was looking for work between January and mid April, and it was among the worst few months of my life. The entire process is humiliating and you're constantly stressed because you need to do it to even have a chance to feed yourself. Sorry you're going through that comrade.
Same. Took me 3 excruciating months, 40 applications, like 15 interviews, some with 4 rounds. I honestly had to work more searching for a job then actually working. If this is supposed to be a “labor market” I shudder to think what happens when it’s not.
4 rounds
What even the fuck? You've got a resume, you've got thirty minutes, make a judgement call so everyone can get on with their lives. Which consultant got rich off of inventing this fifteen interview reality TV elimination bullshit?
And then they complain how they can’t find anyone.
1st round is with HR person, usually half an hour with dumb HR questions. 2nd is with some lead developer (or three) coding skills. 3rd is system design 2 hours, with presentation for like 4 people. 4th is with some higher ranked manager 30-60 min.
In total the process took 2 months from my application.
At Oracle it was like 5 rounds, but I said fuck this shit after 2nd and took the job offer I had, because I couldn’t handle all that bullshit any more, even though the offer was significantly worse then what Oracle was offering.
your cats will remember and love you no matter how long ur gone! just make sure you have someone reliable to take care of them while ur away. plus travel contracts pay really well
I was unemployed for two years with only a handful of interviews after several hundred applications, before deciding to finally apply outside of my field. Ended up working min wage for a while before I managed to find something. Job searching is hell, and it's only gotten worse. I need to maintain a fucking LinkedIn, which everybody knows is just fake bullshit, or else some places just won't interview me. I need to lie in interviews, or else they won't hire me. It's ridiculous.
what's sorts of things have you needed to lie about? Looking for tips.
Make up shit you did at old jobs, exaggerate things you did do, pretend to actually give a fuck about the company you're applying to and their goals, pretend like you don't want to strangle every manager.
Yeah in patient care my experience is you can never retaliate against a patient. Just document it and report it to administrators on your EMR system. Depending on what happened/if it happens again they might decide to discharge the patient.
You gotta tell them why you got fired in interviews and you better make it sound like you're sorry/acknowledge it as a mistake. If you don't you will never get hired again. If you don't tell them, they will call your old place and find out anyways.
From this point on I'm gonna assume that you're not sounding sorry about the incident in your interviews, if this is not the case, my bad.
Here is the mentality you need to take to get past this. You can never be aggressive towards a patient in your care. Patients are extremely vulnerable to the people caring for them and there's a massive power imbalance that is easy to abuse. Trust between patients and hospital staff cannot be broken. Employers might understand you losing your temper once, but if you're acting like you got screwed over by your old job in the interview that will be a deal breaker 100% of the time. You will always have to deal with mean patients in this field and the people interviewing you will think you're gonna do it again and worry that you might escalate from verbal abuse to physical abuse. There are plenty of horror stories about nurses doing evil shit to patients they don't like.
The biggest requirement in this field/most fields is being easy to get along with. If you had a messy exit from your past job/your old coworkers didn't like you then you better sound extra sorry in the interview. I know it sucks having to apologize for this but it really is your only option if you want to continue in this field. I guess if you really don't want to, you can just not put your last job in your resume.
