#the job market sucks

[mostghst]

another post grad life rant, but the job market fucking sucks. NOTHING is entry level. Entry level shouldn't mean 1-5 yrs of experience. and that year they want you to have is most likely internship, which requires some amount of privilege. no, i cant up and move to a city over the summer. no, i don't want to do unpaid work i need to feed myself. some internships even want you to have experience

then of course, if you're me, if you changed your major multiple times, then you don't even have experience from being in major specific clubs.

like my degree is vast enough that i could get into publishing or news or what have not, but everything requires so much experience. the only thing i can do is be a freelance set PA in the next city over and i dont want that life. if i continue to be a set PA all im doing is taking away opportunity from ppl who want it. holy shit.

genuinely it feels like im about to go into my barista era. nothing wrong w being a barista but if i have a whole degree, why can i not have a salary?

The more rejection emails I get after applying for jobs, the more justified I feel in my staying at home and being a grumbly goblin that lives under my parents' stairs.

Like, the Best Buy I applied to looked like a dump ass miserable place to work, with an annoying application process that needed a separate app to do a one-way video 'interview', and another actual interview after that, all for minimum wage!

But instead, they looked a gift horse in the mouth and said: naaaah

Coolio, brah, you guys go join the likes of Circuit City. I'll go play some more Diablo 4, and then maybe take a nap later, aight?

Hi friends, sorry i havent been active on here much, therapy and trying to find a new place to rent is rough and sadly so is money right now. I dont need much, just some food money but I cant ask family right now and I dont want to have to rely on my close friends so I come to yall once more.

I would not be asking yall if I wasnt desperate so if you can spare anything that would be amazing.

thank you.

giving my ldb a daughter. embarrassing for all involved. mostly me

#her mom is an orc and her dad is a wood elf so she's going to be a very pointy orc. angular #like ok i suppose i leaned a little heavy on the elf features but also shes 12. she'll develop more orcish features. Not My Fault 😐 #mimiart #weird little girl who pretends to be a wolf -> actual werewolf pipeline #elder scrolls #skyrim #shes sooo sweet and smiley :) idk where that comes from. not either of her parents. neither a point for nature nor nurture #calling her Khara for now. might change idk #re: my caption its only embarrassing because of who she had the child with. he fucking sucks #but so does she which is why they get along and they make each other worse. but also sometimes better #whatever. they love each other and their weird kids #at first they said “no kids absolutely the fuck not” then they decided to adopt alesan because like. hes already pretty much self sufficien #like he had a job and everything right. this will be a breeze hes already pretty much a fully formed human we can just help him out #by letting him sleep in our house right. and then like not even a full year later uloth gets pregnant oops 😬 #does anyone here know how to keep a baby alive. thankfully uloth has amassed basically a small village of followers/friends/housecarls #some more responsible and knowledgeable than others. so dw the kids are okay and not dead #they just keep the necromancy and shady black market trading and unethical experiments OUTSIDE THE HOUSE #tes #ocs #oc #khara has only broken her dads finger once. orc grip you know how it is

I absolutely love how entry level jobs - where you don’t need any experience at all - no longer exist anymore. Want to break into a specialised field that requires training? Well fuck you! No training only experience.

#literally found an internship for an archivist role #‘ I thought wow that’s something I really want to do’ #the first line of application requirements ‘must have substantial experience working in an archive’ #like thanks man #I mean I have experience in marketing - administration - event planning - project management - report/evaluation writing #but that’s still not enough experience for any role I have applied for #it genuinley sucks that it’s impossible to get a job now without knowing someone

[rockoblanco]

loveeeee when a place that u applied to & never bothered to even email u with a “no thank u!” still has their job listing up literally months later …… i hope u never fill that position & that ur so short staffed everyone else quits nd u lose ur business FOOL!!!!!!!! a thousand curses upon u , binch !

#my new job isn’t perfect but it really fits into my life so well rn #& it’s soooooooo nice not to be applying to a new place literally everyday #but got curious as to what’s on the market rn so just lookin at jobs and some of these binches been looking since December like ….. #baby sucks to suck !

#when you're fighting the scourge and making 700+ alloys a month but you NEED MORE #genuinely so glad I invested into a dyson sphere early on to suck the market 100% dry of alloys #pumping out ships because my life depends on it #just imagine. you're a space trader and you heard there's some invasion of bugs somewhere in the galaxy #then the strongest military you've ever seen rolls up and offers you 'any price you name' for spare metal on your ship #you laugh and say '600 energy credits and I'll give you four metal pipes!' #the military says 'deal' and immediately deposits 900 energy credits [the market price of alloys is already increasing] #anyway I'm now sitting here with a military over five times larger than my naval cap #and over four times the population I had before the war #reason: people evacuated the planets the scourge bombed #thousands of pops have settled straight into my empire even in the most dire planets #every square inch of living space is now taken up and every single job is full #every single planet has unemployment [i have an overabundance of consumer goods so I'm just giving them all free stuff] #oh and since I'm gearing the economy now towards 'well. they gotta work SOMEWHERE' [building as many commercial districts as possible] #I am spending hundreds of special resources I do not produce to keep massive company complexes running #imagine this: strange otherworldly beasts are running down your homeworld #you escape into space in a small cargo ship stuffed with people #it's barely enough to be considered a transport but it gets you far enough away to feel safe #as you are running you see the largest collection of ships in your life warp into the system #they unleash hellfire on the aliens and then neuron sweep the planet [the very ground of which got infected] #you shed a tear and look away from the window #three days later you're told you've arrived #you touch down in an extremely busy landing area #there are hundreds of thousands of people everywhere. the mood is joyous #there are screens set up in the square broadcasting the eradication of the aliens #you see people in the crowd you've never seen before. people speak in tongues you've never heard #a guide calls over to you and all the other new arrivals #apparently you weren't the first to run. you won't be the last either #this planet has more than quintoupled its population and is still recieving many people every day #luckily the government has declared they are going to be constructing massive projects to introduce new jobs

I'm so burnt out and stressed about a variety of things lately, but a funny / sweet coincidence recently happened that I wanted to share:

Last week, I had a university student reach out to me (via my work email) asking for resources / advice on their research paper because I've written a lot of articles about the thing they're writing about. (I just got back to them today and they were real sweet, I'm excited to see how their paper turns out)

A week or two ago, I had someone reach out to me on RA asking for some specific clip info / date info because they were doing a research paper about Pac, and today I saw that they published their paper and put a special thanks to RA in the notes :')

I just think it's very sweet and a funny coincidence that my work (professional and fandom work) is getting cited in research papers. It made me smile a lot, I genuinely love that.

#i talk #job talk #Seeing RA get MLA cited sure was something #I love that #I have such a hard time sitting down and focusing on things but I want to read their paper #even if I have to TTS it (which is what I'll probably have to do) #but I'm so :') about both things #it's unexpected and sweet and makes me feel proud in different ways #I'm sad about work though but I really do need a new job #I love my job and I love the people (minus one but I never see him and never interact with him so it's fine) #but it just doesn't frickin pay enough and I've been in the red for too long #it makes me so sad but it's just not sustainable and it's stressing me out even more #like money is always a huge stressful thing but it's getting worse #I'm just frustrated because job hunting sucks and even jobs I'm overqualified for never get back to me #The job market is a nightmare but especially for my field. You just gotta KNOW people and I'm not good at that #I'm also sad because I know my team will be sad when I inevitably have to leave #I need to do it sooner rather than later though because we have big projects coming up #and the longer I take the harder it'll be on my team #agh #anyways this got a bit negative in the tags but these two things really did put a much-needed smile on my face #so thank you to those two students #I love college kids. I miss my Japanese college students #sideblog shenanigans #storytime with shikai

this job market is so disheartening, i got rejected from this government job i was really REALLY hoping to get (i got to do a recorded interview for them, so i was crossing my fingers i had a chance!!!), and i'm just,,,,,,,, numb about it

#its fortunate that this clinic i was looking at/talking to abt jobs says they can offer me a position (tentative) #i have to talk to their manager #so we'll see but like #idk man this job market sucks so bad im like whatever #luna.txt #i was so hopefuly they may hire me and then to get rejected again (like all the 100 other jobs i applied to) its like....... okay

[half-mad-wanderer]

Job hunting is so fucking stressful. Been looking since mid January (factory closure left me out to dry), 3 dozen + applications, 3 confirmed rejections and no updates from the rest.

My insides are twisting most days, almost sick, watching my savings dwindle.

Been broke once, don't Wana go back to protein shakes as meals.

Job market sucks, seeing jobs for 18$(CAD) requesting a master's degree, a fair bit of them only part time.

Organized crime lookin real tempting >.>

why did no loop reviews mention sensory discomfort of having things in your ears and hearing your own breathing/movements so loudly :(

#i havent had in ear headphones for many years i forgot how much the feeling sucks #i know loop is doing a huge marketing job on social media but i did a lot of searching #not a single person who uses these for sensory issues have a problem like mine...i feel silly :(
