Every job should have a public posting period and all qualified candidates should have to be interviewed, no exceptions. Idk why only public sector work has remotely sane hiring policies.

    well also you're "network" is worthless if your dad and uncles aren't wealthly elites who send you to an Ivy League school to "network more".

    Just "being an extrovert" is like finding a $100 bill on the ground once every few weeks for networking.

    Unless they meant unionizing, which is based and cool.

      I realized as a kid that all jobs in America involve trying to impress and/or trick a rich person, so the primary skill for getting a job is bullshitting. Every job I've had that wasn't minimum wage or government had at least a dozen coworkers who were there through family connections, or friend of a friend. That kind of thing always seems to override a good resume, like being friends with the boss's nephew or whatever.

      When it's America: "networking" (normal, cool)

      When it's China: "guanxi" (foreign, bad)
