I always apply to a bunch of jobs on LinkedIn and then click on the "Home" button and after scrolling through my timeline, get filled with deep despair. Anyone who willingly posts on LinkedIn is an absolute psycho. Just hustle-grindset freaks, "wow, can you belive ChatGPT can do this?!?" and "I want to thank Microsoft for employing me for 10 months, then giving me the boot when they decided they want to increase stock prices .03% by laying off 10,000 workers. Thank you sir, may I have another?"

Al! posted:nepotism's the best way to get jobs for sure but i gotta say my most recent experience required me to be willing to leave a city or even being close to a city, but still urbanized enough to have basically whatever you need. huge pay bump and they really appreciated someone who had citified professional experience. best career move ive made in my life. the trade off was moving. the real downside is rural healthcare is bad because of a lack of actual physicians, not to mention specialists i don't have a career tho idk how i went to college and just got debt idg how to do the intermediary parts between not job and job

The benefit of having a government job is that once you have a your foot in the system then its relatively easy to keep promoting as long as you aren't a slacker and are willing to move. Also work culture is so much better than a loving corpo job.

Al! posted:the bigger issue is that theres too much money to be made to not have unified recruiting systems. recruiters buy blocks of resumes from websites like indeed, which if they could just access the millions of Workday candidates they wont need. that explains the different interview states and how you might be "in process" or "under consideration" from the start, right after applying. from a UX standpoint it's still "the best" out there (that I'm aware of) in terms of interview and candidacy status from the job seeker's perspective, not that it's saying too much, but greenhouse, lever, ashby, and others are all dogshit and much worse from the candidate side. too much focus goes on the company and not enough on the candidate, and in IMO they're going about solving this whole problem completely wrong for both ends. I've been thinking about this problem space a lot lately and it's immensely frustrating that no one has devised a better solution rather than just keep making lovely copycats of the same application structure.

triple sulk posted:I've been thinking about this problem space a lot lately and it's immensely frustrating that no one has devised a better solution rather than just keep making lovely copycats of the same application structure. the problem is hr departments dont have a technology problem they have a fundamental strategic problem. could probably write reams about this but the key thing is nobody's bothered to rethink how to hire someone since personnel departments became hr departments over the 70s and 80s. hr leaders are focused on technology solutions, when there are huge strategic problems in every company ive ever worked for with regards to their hr departments and surprise, purging them doesnt work either. if i was to pinpoint what the problem is exactly is that companies by and large did away with the idea of something like a probationary period in favor of focusing on the Right Hire. this is totally backwards of course. if someone is minimally qualified to perform a job you simply cannot determine anything else about them through 1-5 hours of interviews and paperwork. whether they are successful in a job or a "culture fit" depends on the structure of the organization the reason they did away with this of course is because probationary periods are tied in closely with unions and collective bargaining agreements

I applied for this relative high honcho govt job in late 2021 and was only like 1 of 3 applicants lol. if someone who interviewed better/more experienced applied (very very low bar) I def wouldn’t have got it but hey it worked out for me. even now it’s like maybe 3 to 18 for various positions
