Kill them. Curse them and their Descendants and their decendants.
Make sure they suffer.
Find them, torture them psychologically.

:/ Corona?

@ScriptCoded idk man. They've got a stick up their asses with "we're open and covid free" in this country. Yet, everybody is still working from home.

Maybe it’s time for entrepreneurship...

@jvillavi I don't even have enough money to rent a house right now. Lol.

Welp. First rejection letter just came in. 😕

Hold in tight, you just need one YES.
My experience, immigrated to different country, started applying for jobs, (250-300) in 5 months, frustrated I started applying for internships too. One day got call for contract role, contracted for 1.5yr and now full time at same place.

Don't worry, by my experience after a while you get 10 companies contacting at the same time

@NoMad Yo don't want to work at a stick-up-their-ass place anyways. You'll get something eventually, and it'll be good. Lame af, but eventually...

They're afraid... of the tigress.

@NoMad act like you don't care and have other offers and they'll want you more (is what I overheard)

Took me 800+ applications last time I was looking. You're always either overqualified, thus too expensive or under qualified because you're not an intern with 10 years enterprise experience

@TheBeardedOne spot on. For many ads it’s ask minimum wage and be a super wiz or get rejected

public boolean canGetHired(Candidate candidate){
return candidate.isSenior&&candidate.acceptsMinWage;
}

I guess in my country its easier (or I'm good with lower wages)

Which country do you live? Perhaps move to the netherlands? 😄

@jkommeren somebody else suggested the same not long ago. Lol.

Ngl, I tend to get along with the dutch so it's a real possibility. But at this point I'm too broke to move anywhere. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@NoMad plus during corona it's really tough to get started anywhere I guess 🙂

Yeah if you can handle the directness lol you'll be fine here 😁
