TIL apparently recruiters spend an average of six seconds per resume. How much time do we spend making a resume? How can you judge a candidate in six seconds???
I feel that friend, im supposed to be studying for my future but its hard to be motivated when you don't believe there's gonna be a future lol.
Even in the worst case scenario of climate change, billions of people will survive, you'll likely be one of them. The future may not be ideal, but it will happen. And we need you with us to build socialism, so cheer up, and study for your exams. I believe in you.
There will be a future; we just may not be alive to see it. Hang in there.
Also you can just lie on your resume because most companies can't be bothered to pay for an HR goon to check. (assuming you're going in the private sector and not going anywhere where they do give a fuck, like Google or whatever)
My degree is in CS, so I am applying to tech companies like Google. :sadness:
Is there a guide for something like this; all I can find is some Nate Silver-tier shit about spin.
They sometimes turn resumes into plain text, so it's better to put those words in the resume normally.
The idea was to write words you couldn't normally use in white text. Especially languages, but I could never validate this rumor.
2 seconds for making sure the name is white sounding, and 4 seconds to take a sip of coffee
Get an EMT card and be employable literally everywhere in your state
I want to do that as a volunteer, but I'm graduating with a BS in CS. You think learning to code would make job hunting easier.
I used to do IT in the Navy but honestly, I'd rather make less money doing EMT stuff than being stuck in an office. I got enough of that hellish existence for one life
What are you doing now ? Currently in CS and considering radically veering
EMT/pizza delivery. Working on a degree in emergency management but the apocalypse has cancelled college for the forseeable future
I had to hire two people a few weeks ago, never done it before. We had 200 applications in a week for what was a minimum wage admin job. and a customer service-like situation. The first CV's I discarded was anybody overqualified and then it was just a game of finding any reason to get it down to a short-list of around 20.
So my criteria was essentially anyone I thought would be okay at the job, have a bit of ambition because the company is quite good for moving up and was young enough to help me overcome the stale unproductive boomer atmosphere that plagued the office.
So it was quick release at first but then I did have to give it some consideration. It wasn't easy and I became everything I hated when looking for work.
Yeah, for real. The overqualification thing is killing me. I didn't do any predatory internships, and since I finished grad school, I literally cannot get a job.
Damn, feel for you. I wouldn't wish the job search on my worst enemy.
