Go on online job board

The market is so warped right now.

This is what happens when all of the money ends up in the hands of a few who are unconditionally worshipped. There isn't enough liquidity for the 99% to actually do anything. So the 1% beats them harder until morale improves.

Also, recruitment is hilarious. It's big business in IT and turnover is super high. There are lots of thin skinned managers that want you to work miracles but are frightened/envious of miracle workers. So you either do well and get fired for some bullshit reason of you do poorly and get fired because tyou didn't do well. It's insane and they keep grinding through people without consequence.

WHY IS EVERY JOB IN FUCKING RECRUITMENT

REEEEEEEEEEEEE

Actually it's worse- most are sourced through a labor market intermediate (temp agencies).

No benefits or job security for you!

wait what?
searching shitty job boards made you drop out? anyways you did it wrong. you are supposed to use college to get connections. Make friends with professors and alumni who have graduated.

searching job boards without any search terms always returns shit jobs, try searching them using your major as a search term.

not that it matters. your connections in college can get you better jobs. Don't let that experience bullshit discourage you, apply anyways.

being an american without a college degree is hell, done that. Fucking never again.

Because there are no other jobs. It's like a pyramid scheme to create jobs.

a lot of top companies require you to make an account on their website and require internship experience sometimes deal with it

Good firms don't fucking advertize on "job boards". Look at the firms' web pages, they usually have internship recruitments once/twice a year, or graduate programmes (for recent grads) once a year.

Obviously you guys aren't going to get to Goldman Sachs or anything like that, but try some shittier firms

>Got a job as a casino card dealer which didn't require any experience
>Pays $14 an hour
Well it's something.

All this.

Congrats. No, really. You are one of the lucky ones.

Every job is in recruitment, because no one can find "senior" people willing to work for "entry level" pay. All of the "senior" people have jobs, and no one wants to invest in training someone who is unskilled.

Better to offer a percentage of the salary of anyone they find to a cheap worker to try to find someone with qualifications.

Really? Every casino dealer job I've seen requires 5 years of experience dealing plus a dealer school certification, Like OP says.

Get a job in recruitment then, good money if you are good at it

But they don't really want senior people because senior people have experience.

My favorite was working for a government agency through a contracting agency. They had been through alot of contractors and I found out why. The "senior" people didn't know anything about developing software but imposed numerous rules that were made up as they went along and mercilessly punished anybody that ran afoul of them.

So I land in this Mickey Mouse project that's already a year behind schedule. I do what they tell me, it doesn't work, and they complain. I do it my way, it works, and they complain. I do it their way again, it doesn't work again, and they complain again.

It was fun being screamed at about the deadline while A) having no work to do, B) having no input on features, C) having no view of the road map, and D) being repeatedly dragged into meetings to be whined at for capitalizing acronyms or not capitalizing acronyms in my comments (nobody else was commenting at all but they had a shit fit when I removed my comments).

Best part was, after I went permanent, my pay was actually going to drop. Yeah, no, had every intention of transferring absolutely anywhere else once my test results came back. About a week later and a week from the end of my trial period, I was let go for "not taking direction." Fortunately, I was only out of work for about two months.

>mfw 2 six-figure job offers in 3 weeks.

I had to laugh as I saw a job that i'd previously walked out of come back into my inbox. Again, looking for a senior developer. But according to LinkedIn, the micromanaging durka is still the team's manager. NOPE. My god she was infuriating. She would tell me to do stuff wrong and then whine about it too. But the big deal with her was how she gave no information on projects, always came back with a dozen random complaints, and called me to the office for each one separately. Also, she kept hiring other Indians who could barely pick their noses without help. Of course they'll keep posting that job ad instead of getting rid of the real problem.

Yeah, there for awhile I bounced around between jobs and always for the same reason. They want to hire an expert but they don't want an expert to show up for work. An expert might ask questions the non-expert manager can't answer or not do everything exactly like the non-expert manager.

It's nice to find a place where they just leave you alone to do what they hired you to do. But watch out, sometimes those places become their own hell, piling more "additional duties" on you because they're too cheap to hire more people or too cucked to deal with freeloaders.

this thread has reinforced my belief that i would end up killing myself or someone else if i had not pursued self employment.

>cleaning job
>a minimum of two years of relevant work experience and several hygiene certifications are required
Not even meme'ing desu

>they want to hire an expert but don't want en expert to show up for work

wow man, nail on the fucking head with that right there

way to settle. fucking cuck.

I've applied to 20 HR jobs that all require 2-10 years of experience and a relevant 4 year degree, preferably with certs, and I only have the degree. Have only heard back from 1, and it was just a call to say they emailed me shit.

Life is misery. I have an interview for a social working job, but it's literally the other direction from my goal of being a consultant.

I guess I'll keep applying Bros. Life is suffering.

What are the downsides of doing a job for a week or two then leaving for another?

> be SW engineer
> had 8 years of experience when I graduated
> every company around me is hiring
> they complain they can't get enough good software people
> still choose to work for self in own company

Wew, is murica that bad? You all cucked.

I applied to 40, literally anywhere in the nation.

They all want my degree + 2-5 years experience. I just have the degree as well. No fucking idea how I'd acquire 2 years of experience when every job requires 2.
