Getting a Job these days is a fucking joke!

How can you misperceive diligence, assertiveness, and will, as obnoxious asshole, and mischievous? What the fuck is wrong with you?

for fucks sake!!

even if you want to apply for an entry level no skilled job such as McDonald, host job at a restaurant, or working at a supermarket, it will take you 2 hours just to fill out a fucking application... almost 1 hours for the application and 1 hour for the stupid 100 questions personality test.. you have to send like 100's of these just to maybe, and i mean maybe get a call back...

what a fucking joke.


do you want to know the irony??? the same people who are making it harder for the younger generation to find jobs, are the same cocksuckers who are calling us "lazy"... thats right, the baby boomers who work in HR... fucking hypocrites.


here is how it went during their lifetime...


Timmy is a 18 year old baby boomer who just graduated from high school. Timmy now wants to find a job. Timmy applies at a office job that pays more than 3 times better than todays minimum wage job...

Timmy walks in and applies and is greeted by the hiring manager. Hiring manager says "do you have experience?". Timmy says, "no sir, i just graduated from high school and im a very quick learner!" Hiring manager says, "your hired!! come in tomorrow at 8 am". Timmy works two years at this job, and now has a brand hew house, car, and a wife. All paid off..


Now here is how is goes with our generation...

Josh is a 23 year old college graduate from a good school. He applied everywhere and cant find a job in his field. So he applies for a entry level job, no skilled job. Josh sends out over 100 resumes, and hundreds of hours filling out applications. Josh then received 1 fucking phone call for an interview for a job at a supermarket. Josh then goes to the interview and aced it. Unfortunately, he received a call back and they told him that they found someone else who "match the description better".... His baby boomer father (Timmy) then calls Josh a worthless piece of shit and kicks him out of the house... Josh is now homeless..


do you see whats wrong here??

I am 56 years old. I agree with you 100%! When I was your age, I could call an employment agency and get five job offers the same day. I could name my price. I could walk into any business, fill out a application, speak to a human resource recruiter and be hired on the spot! I am disgusted with the way your generation is being treated! You are smarter than our generation, and far more educated! It breaks my heart how you are being treated and BRAINWASHED. Do not vote for DEMOCRATS if you want a decent life for you and your family. Life has gone downhill under Obama. The pain he has caused will be reversed.

to all the tradetards.....aren't illegal aliens undercutting your prices?

Bullshit! Post a link for these jobs you lieing sack of potato's.

I told you this is a 50/50 bucket now - it really is -
(Something a politician would avoid talking about)

Because with strawman this and feeling bad, and low pay - and 2 roommates just to survive... More and more people are going on the dole.

Basically, I believe, we're becoming socialistic in nature due to the gap between wealthy and middle class.

Middle class just means "lots of credit" today.

So why not Rage against The Machine and say screw it and get the free money and food stamps.. (and never get laid)

Or get a job just to socialize? There's still plenty of good ole hand shake jobs via craigslist - and I know a few friends who made small companies with pool care and pressure cleaning.

Sooo yeah, I'm telling you, the scales are going to tip soon - and I wish I didn't know this so I could socialize with people.

So, give in to the system, as it wants you to, or be a survivor and fight it til the bitter end?

Here's the one that gets me:

"Where do you see yourself five years from now? Ten years from now?"

If you've been out of work long enough, you can't 'see yourself' beyond your next meal, and your month's rent and electric bill.

sure are you IT people getting fucked by the foreign visa workers?have computers replaced millions of office workers.have robots replaced auto workers?many people dont want a bunch of foreign speaking yahoos tearing apart their house.many trades require a license.lots of us got union cards still.

Speaking of jobs, nice one AC

Another thing though I've seen as a recruiter, common across generations, is job hopping.

These resume boards - a lot of people in recent years are hopping around from job to job and it does not look good to employers.

I see this with 20 year olds. I see this with 40-50 year olds - those who used to have long lasting positions, are jumping around now trying to find a fit.

Seeing someone stay at a job for at least a year nowadays is rare.

As shitty as your job might be, as shitty as your pay might be, I think an effort at KEEPING a job is important for getting a better job, better pay in the future. And atleast with keeping a job, you have better references and you don't have to go without a paycheck between jobs when you hop around...

Maybe Josh and his generation shouldn't have voted for the guy in office, presently. Hopefully, Josh will learn.

This thread is overflowing with excuses.

Josh's father, grandfather, and great grandfather failed to remove the destroyers of this nation from office by force, instead they voted for them.

This didn't just happen overnight asshole, it has been a hundred years in the making.

While dining out one evening we overheard the manager interviewing a young man in his early 20's. Some of the manager's question were about as ridiculous as the questions in the video below.

I'm pretty sure the young man blew the interview when the manager asked what he would say was his worst quality and he said he couldn't stand to be touched. lol

Awe, thxs :)

josh sounds like a loser...Timmy sounds like a winner....

Todays kids are fucking retarded....I own a business....You assholes put your resumes on cartoon paper......spell words wrong....wear nose rings and saggy pants to interviews....

Ive even seen an application where after you put your name on it....the resume asks for your "street name" and this kid put "Lil Tiger"....so hgow am I supposed to hire a fucking retard .....

this thread is full of mostly useless suggestions,

not everyone wants to live in North Dakota, and the person who is President aint gonna make a fuck of difference to someone sitting there with no job.



1. if you are young, ideally still in college. GO JOIN A FRATERNITY. right now!

you dont like the greek culture??? Too fuckin bad.

those people will SAVE your ass, and get you a job if you need one.



2. you are in the 25-35 age range, and in the OP's shoes, this is what i would do.


Start making phone calls. No not to harass random business about a job.

First, your friends, start calling all your friends, and find the person they know who is the most successful in the field you WANT to work in.

Call that person, say Hey My friend __________ is a mutual friend, can i buy you lunch, and discuss ___________ field. Make that person your best friend in the world.


Second, your family, same deal find your relative who is the most successful in the field you WANT to work in.

Same thing, call that person, ask to meet, and buy them lunch, to discuss ________ field.

Make that person your best friend in the world.


^ those 2 people should be enough to get you an entry level job somewhere.


3. Join a Fraternal Organization. Like the Freemasons.

Once you join, ask around who is the mot successful guy they know, locally, in the field you want to work. Get a hold of that guy, ask if you can buy him lunch to discuss this field.

This isnt the Olden Days though where they automatically will just be glad to meet and help you out, so this person might just tell you to buzz off , so you might have to do this with multiple guys.



If you are older, over 45. You are pretty well fucked. You can try those ideas, but after a certain age people dont want to help older people out,

i'd suggest trying to do some on line type of business.
