Job Hunting Tips and Tricks. - Or how to not get stuck as a retail wagie

[James Brown]

In something that would normally be able to get me a desk job. It's not one of the genderspecial humanities. But it is a humanities.

Do you have the grad school degree on your resume? Remove it then reapply with only the undergrad - HR hates grad school niggers, they assume you're a failure-to-launch libtard or the cuck owner/managercel gets intimidated by someone with more name letters. Then just lie. Fudge dates. LARP. Alter all of your experience into desk jockey skills - how you accurately entered and verified suchandsuch data, have x years of Excel experience through y project, collaborated with a z-sized team of colleagues to deliver whatthefuckever by whenever deadline. If it's a niche business, try to add something related and tell them you're so motivated to break into the field. fuck networking, use your friend or mom under a fake position as a reference if you have to. you have to lie to these scabs if you're trying to make it in 2k25 America. Especially if you're a broke ahh wizard kiwitroon KHHV spergazoid. If you're really desperate, I recommend making a new resume for every job you apply for with minor differences exactly tailored to what they want in the job ad.

Spoiler: PL

I did all these to break into my career <10 years ago, no regrets. Except for the grad school thing, but i lied my ass off for my first office position since all my prior jobs were unrelated brokie shit, then farmed experience for 6 months so i didnt have to lie as much for the next job.

If you do all this and still can't land an interview then something else is going on. Either your resume is extremely retarded, or you need to move to another area. But entry deskjobs are not that challenging to get, they hire literal speds and single mothers. If you do get the interview, just don't show up dirty. Look up the linkedin of the manager/HR/whoever and try to find some gay commonality between you two to absent-mindedly bring up to simulate familiarity.

Lie. Dont read the job descriptions. Just apply to a million jobs that pop up in search results. If youre good theyll reach out to you. Maybe if its a really good fit reach out to them.
Reversal:
Look at job descriptions. study them and figure out what seems to be most in demand and become really good at it. Easy if youre in tech you can learn basically anything online/for free.

Hmn, makes sense. Half my resume is related to work I did for my grad school stuff. What's the most believable lie? Larping as a freelancer?

Should I:
* Go for a job in the middle of nowhere for a big company that pays well
* Hope to get a better job in a bigger city

Remember that nothing ever happens.

Thats why I will bring a gun into the interview and threaten to kill myself if I don't get the job.

I'd think if this city has a LCOL, you should take the job there and save literally as much as possible. Then you have the freedom to move elsewhere. Assuming they don't lay you off in two months...which I have seen happen...to even C levels.

 

[HairyBadger]

Put lots of gay and peodo flags in your social media.

Not joking.

Companies, particularly above the 200-250 level need to be seen to be inclusive. So they break laws in order to "appear" inclusive.

 

[Dawdler]

They will discover jeets are retarded and whole divisions will become useless.

No they won't. They will hire even more.
White man has been devalued to picking trash and scraps.

I talked to Hr about this and they said I was overqualified for a job. What a bad experience that was. Your words are valid.

 

[Luke Heaven 13!]

This may suck to hear for most of us in here, but network. Network as much as you can. On business trips, on company trips, when you meet business partners to your company. Keep in touch with college friends. With work friends. It sucks. It’s so awful. But that is how now I have at least a few options outside of the hellhole that is LinkedIn and don’t have to get my data sold to pajeets by job websites.

Should I:
* Go for a job in the middle of nowhere for a big company that pays well

Middle of nowhere that pays well will bring you closer to financial security where you can save a lot quicker and can take more vacations per month as your get away.

am I just gonna get my time wasted or are they just gonna throw the job at me?

90% of job postings are fake, so likely

It sounds like they have narrowed search down to a couple of people. Guess thats why theyd remove the posting. Dont see why not go for it. To me a company asking you to go through insane hoops like that means it may be a pain in the ass when you get the job as well. or maybe its just the hiring team.
Go for this job and then immediately start applying for other better jobs. You get raises by switching jobs not staying at the same place.

For a lot of the job hunters in this thread, I would emphasize that if your career isn't working out stop forcing it. Many fields are extremely competitive and you need to know when to find something else instead of throwing your life away. Don't allow a retarded college degree you got to define you into food service.

But that is how now I have at least a few options outside of the hellhole that is LinkedIn and don’t have to get my data sold to pajeets by job websites.

More or less, linkedin is a website for jeets to grift for jobs and people with jobs to whore themselves out to their peers for validation. I've been pretty clear that online job hunting is no different than online dating. Most of the listings are fake, jeets spam it and harass anyone putting up a legitimate posting, and irl connections will always trump online applications.

I'd certainly never hire a random applicant over the internet. Anyone who's anyone in business has a network they draw upon to recruit and sticks to it. 99% of going to grad school is just to leech off of your professor's social network. 100% of undergrad is going to a college that employers trust to produce good talent. Nepotism is the core of success. Fairness is the shit they sell fools to rob them blind. How's the UK doing after they opened their borders to third worlders? The workplace is no different. Jews operate the way they do for a reason. Be the Jew or join the third world.

You get raises by switching jobs not staying at the same place.

If you want money, this is usually sound advice. I'd just cushion it with be careful of ruining a good thing. Don't be in a hurry to look for money if you're in a good location near friends and family. Money has very limited utility beyond a point. Know what you want in life and search for that.

I've been told it's because they think I'll just job hop ASAP. I'm literally just trying to get anything in this odd region that's about 2 hours from 3 proper cities.

Part of what I originally was going to do after my MA was study the LSAT [long long story], but life has severely gotten in the way and I've been caretaking a lot while taking care of relatives.

I was able to ask for advice from Professors in my grad school prior and it's at a state institution that's about 2 hours south of me. The issue is that the job market's absolutely hyper-competitive here in my state, for everything. I'm trying to figure out any pathway I can to get out of here.

Education, as a field, is royally fucked here and hyper-competitive. Every district around me just shitcanned job fairs and went on a hiring freeze due to Federal Funding being in some sort of limbo. IIRC. The county governments/city governments around me just took down their white collar jobs I qualify for and word is, it's due to some hiring freeze.

I'm not sure what's going on. I've just been advised to keep plugging away and get my resume and interview skills/lines ready for the fall hiring cycle. I've been given the advice of checking out my county library's programs and free things and to see if there's a way to get digital marketing certifications for free through their services, which would be quite beneficial.

I've also been looking at technical writing, but I don't quite understand what I need to do for that. Play with some programs, learn the common sense of technical writing, and make a portfolio?

Copywriting was something I was interested in, but I'm pretty far from areas that have those jobs open.

My goal is to pay my student debt, have enough to be able to help my family, engage in my hobby of reading and restoring/maintaining old books, and get something going in life. It feels like I've been consistently cucked out of everything since I finished my MA in 2022. I've had some work, but it's gig work/part time work in education. I've got health issues that stop me from doing trades and blue collar work.

It is really annoying but this is how I got my current job and the one before it. They do not care about anything if you are at least not an inbred retard and know someone, bonus points if the person you know is well liked by the HR she demons. Still not 100% reliable unfortunately but I found that most people I know even with good degrees are basically screwed unless they know someone.

 

[Audit]

I know even with good degrees are basically screwed unless they know someone.

There are literally not enough good jobs to go around and h1b jeets are occupying a concerning number of those. A good degree is a prerequisite to work in many fields. It is not a divine mandate entitling you to a job in the field. Sending half the population to college is resulting in credential bloat and a population best compared to Douglas Adams' Golgafrinchans. The world simply does not need an army of therapists, marketers, business majors, and environmental scientists.

Aside, I started leafing through the Bureau of Labor Statistics data and I've decided it's fucking nonsense. No way is the median marketing manager making >$150k/year with openings in the field growing at ~7%/year. It also thinks the median high school teacher gets $62k/year. For context, the median personal income in the US is ~42k/year. If school teachers are getting 60k, this implies that something like half the population is working truly utter shit jobs that are part time or pay really fucking badly. If that's true, the US economy would have to be verging on economic collapse for these numbers to make any sense.



Here's what the BLS thinks HR makes to cockblock you. 70k for being a parasite in a rapidly growing field ain't half bad.

Yeah, about that...

Well they aren't wrong. It also means it's a shit job.
