100% accurate. About a month ago I got a call for something that looked pretty promising and the money was right so I sent in the resume and the recruiter came back with fill out the profile/application/etc. I called him back and said zero of that was happening and what the resume was for. He said he would get with the hiring manager and never heard a call back.
Two months after I applied for a job, I received a phone call from them showing interest. At that point, I already went a completely different direction.
Another company denied me 6 months after I applied on indeed. Thanks for the heads up I suppose.
true for shit corporate jobs, get in the trades or work for a family owned business or a mom and pop. NONE of that exists there and you get bonuses when you perform well and leniency if you have an off year.
My old employer was family owned, they sold out to some big corporation, I was looking for a new job within a year. My old companies smaller competition let me know through a mediator that they were interested, I threw out a stupid high number and they took it. I have made them way more than I cost them and have been told by the owner "whatever you need" for anything in the future that year half jokingly sent in a request for a paid week off for all my staff for the week between Christmas - new years (which we are always dead for anyway) on top of their regular paid vacation. My boss emailed me back and said "my boss said I can't really tell you no" Feels fucking good.
small business is like a loyal and faithful wife from the 70's you bring in money and respect them and they will treat you accordingly. Corporate jobs are like modern women, they expect you to do everything and all your receive in return is zero appreciation but they wont abandon you at that moment. Fuck corporations.
I've been job hunting this year and that's practically how it's been (almost none of them force you to provide cover letters though). She's basically the workday platform personified.
Agreed six gorillion percent. The most infuriating part is that despite so many companies making you use that shitty platform to apply, you have to go through the same process of entering your info, resume, etc every single fucking time! You'd think they'd have figured out how to centralize all that bullshit by now, but NOPE. It's like they're trying to demoralize you in every single aspect of your life.
I’ve told a few to get fucked. One cunt who hired me and immediately tried to flex on me, I sent a voice text that ended with: “I’m bigger, stronger and smarter and my dick is longer and harder. You try to play the Great Oz with me and I’ll pull back your fucking curtain. You’re not the first office rat I’ve had to deal with.”
These were more difficult to fill out in the 2000s as often there would be a personality test to follow. Sometimes you get lucky and find an application portal that is intuitive.
if you know how to read a job advertisement and look up the company posting the ad it generally speaks for itself why the job is available.... and you avoid this bullshit entirely.
