So I have to create a dozen different accounts and re-enter my fucking god damn information over and over again. Fuck Workday. Fuck this job seeking bullshit fuck. When there are 5000 different websites and I have to make 5000 different accounts just to fucking APPLY, someone deserves to have their fucking head smashed into the concrete.
I fucking hate it when an office demands paperwork from me, tells me later that I did it wrong, and evidently they already had the information but wanted to go through the formality of telling me whether I did it correctly.
Don't forget to bring your original SSN card through a sketchy city!!!
They only force you to do that because the US has deputized every firm and institution as border control
yeah it is so annoying dealing with all the bullshit there to stop immigrants getting jobs. This just makes it harder for everyone
Remember: Many of those job offerings are fake and never to be actually filled
My director openly said this to us. Basically we always have one or two spots open never to be filled so that if there are layoffs we have a buffer :pain:
Depending on what your director meant this sounds okay. I know head of my department always asks for more staff than we need, if we get it we add a couple of research projects to our workload, if not and there's ever a budget cut he pretends not getting those extra positions is a major loss for the department lol. Genuinely a good way to deal with penny-pinching upper management.
Tinfoil hat theory: many job listings are fake and are either just advertisers, companies, and third parties collecting and selling data.
If you're forwarded to an ATS system it's more likely they beed a backlog of talent in case they need to fill a position in the future. But yes, some job sites do seem to post scraped previous job postings as a honeypot, these are usually pretty obvious because either the company or city listed doesn't exist lol. I think they sell your info to recruiters for the most part, but idk if there's a huge market for like software engineers who give all their private info to the wallet inspector
Teleo be like "make 500 accounts and fuck your password manager!"
Indeed be like "fill in the information on your account again... Okay cool. Gonna need that same info a second time... Nice thanks. Hey, do you have any work history at all? Never seen you before :)"
I fucking when jobs on indeed redirect to another fucking website and I can't reuse anything from Indeed. Fucking dogshit society
"5,000 different resume softwares? That's ridiculous!"
There are now 5,001 resume softwares
"What?! Workday and job applications? More like WorkSHIT and job FARTlications. This website is about as useful as a fucking fart in a spacesuit. I mean, where do I even begin? The login process alone is enough to make me want to punch a hole through my computer screen. And then you finally get into the damn thing and it's just a labyrinth of bureaucratic bullshit. It's like trying to navigate a fucking corn maze blindfolded with your dick tied behind your back."
I just have to link this now (CW: scat references and lots of it)

the culture that has made it OK to have more than 2 rounds of interviews for a position is diseased. i've heard stories of 5+ interviews over a week. a friend of mine was telling me personally about a consultancy hiring process where they not only had 5 interviews including her creating and delivering a mock presentation for a case study... the feedback was that they wanted her to do it again, at a later date, with inflated fake numbers to make it a more powerful presentation.
she told them no, that she was no longer interested in the position and they were completely shocked.
this is bazinga world VC + consultancy BS so it's like a pyramid scheme of grifting, so of course their applicant filtering process is designed to find the most absurd, kool-aid drinking mutants.
My maximum is 2 rounds. First round is a basic screener. Should take no more than 15 minutes. Mfs want me to come in person just to talk about my resume lol. Fuck off. The second round can be a bit longer and more technical if need be, but for most entry level shit it shouldn’t be necessary. If they ask me to come in a third time and give me take home assignments, I’m going to schedule an interview and never show up.
I recently got hired at the best job of my life through a craigslist post
