So I am about to graduate with a degree in industrial engineering specializing in quality management, but I can't find a job to save my life. One place I applied to, I went through 2 interview rounds a general and a technical interview. You think after all that time I invested into the process you would get a rejection letter or something, but no. Another place I applied to I had worked there as an intern early into my college career, and after the position being up for a week it just disappeared off their website, but is still plastered all over LinkedIn. When I contacted the company they said they had already hired a candidate, after the post had only been up a week. I interned for them for 2 years and wasn't even given a chance to interview. Any advice not to lose hope in what feels like a fruitless job hunt.
You can be the best qualified candidate. However capitalist hiring isn't about the best qualified candidate. Even if you would be a lousy candidate and even more lousy employee you deserve to reproduce.
Yeah, honestly I do not know what I could jabe done realistically to be a better candidate. I am president of my universities student chapter of institute of industrial and system engineers club and had 3 internships. What is real bullshit is a lot of the positions want you to have your green belt in six sigma which takes requires me to take a proctored test and pay a lot of money for classes to help pass. My grades are not the worst. I think what I need to do is revamp my resume and hone my cover letter writing ability.

Having enough capital do make a significant contribution to the companies stock?
I wish you success and luck. But don't individualize too much if you can help it. You are not alone in this, it is a feature of the system.
It's one of those weirdly specific industry things based off a quality theory from after world war 2.
I feel you. Graduated with Master's in computer science and i've been unemployed for 5 months so far. I've been told if i "lEarNed tO coDe" i'd be guaranteed a job. Perhaps that was true in my country in the Before Times but it sure as hell isn't now. PM me if you ever want to commiserate on being stuck in recruitement hell.
The only use of my degree since was correcting and helping rich Saudi Students with their master's degree lol.
Kinda besides the point but i could swear r/recruitinghell is permanently at the verge of achieving class consciousness, but they never do. I've never seen a place so full of people hyper-aware of capitalist bullshit, yet so incapable of linking the dots.
As someone interested in an (electrical) engineering degree... this is scary to think about. Just further proof higher ed is a fuck, and no job field is a safe bet.
