job hunt BS: wtf?

Howdy my friends and welcome too some new thoughts. As of right now I’m still job hunting after a year and 3 months. What a damn pain in the ass. This is a big rant so I’m going to break it up into parts.

One thing I understand is so many people are out of work. That is a no brainer. What I’ve started to see now is a few things that just plain tick ya off.

1: recycled jobs posted.

Yes I’ve seen jobs I’ve been applying too reposted after 6 or so months. I think companies are just postingĀ  jobs for hire but not hiring anyone but make it look like there are jobs for people too make big brother happy.

2:Hiring but not advertising it or just swamped.

One job I applied too had thousand people apply for it.

3: Online Automatic applications

Does anyone look at the damn applications anymore? Really stop having the computer scan through the apps and kick someone out because they misread a question or the question is worded in a way you misread it. Then you can’t reply back to the email they send you to tell them that their web site sucks and confused the hell out of you in the first place is why you misread the question or answer the damn phone when calling to tell them the correction .

4: Goodie phys test

Why the hell do i need to take a physiological and feel good test for a frak’n retail job? How the hell does taking that test going to apply to the job I’m applying for that you stock shelves, clean the department and help people with what there are looking for. ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. Plus if there was anything in the store worth stealing i would have bought it already. Sorry I don’t ponder what to steal from a damn retail store. Next why do i have to answer 75 to 80 questions? Damn! If you must have a security clearance i understand all the questions but its a damn retail job people.

5: Make your application easy to fill out.

I dont need to spend 45 mins or longer trying to figure out why i filled info out and the red !!!!!!! keeps popping up because your website sucks!

Well thats it for now I’ll post more later this week. God bless you all
