If any aspiring thinkpiece authors are looking for ideas, I feel like there's a decent article to be written on the topic of how labor's power is suppressed in part by how loving tedious, awkward, and demoralizing every step of the job-hunting process has become.

this is a really good time to apply for city/county/state/federal jobs for anyone not chasing tech money. only 20.5 years until my pension kicks in y'all'd be shocked at how just few people apply since the hoops are generally more onerous to jump through compared to private job portals and indeed and stuff. there are lots of equivalent positions too so once you apply for one job at a state agency that application will be 90% good for lots of others and decreases work. when i was hunting, having to start a profile on a new job portal was my #1 reason for discouragement

here is a job interview pro tip i have learned: if the manager you will be reporting to is not present at any point during the interview(s), chances are they are being hidden from you due to the fact that they are massive loving idiot/rear end in a top hat/sociopath, and you should fuckin' dip out. obviously does not apply to all industries.

The best is when you have to apply through indeed/ziprecruiter and then go to their portal, fill out the same thing again while setting up an account and then take some dumb competency quizzes. Lmao gently caress outta here.

Like the job I just landed is an incredibly sweet gig I'm grateful to have and how I got here is basically pure chance, my manager at my new job was previously the manager at the company I was working for before this job, no personal overlap in employment he was just headhunting people in the field because this position had apparently been unfilled for an extensive period of time. The requirements for this job are incredibly vague, like yeah I have some overlapping experience but basically anyone with the ability to read could hypothetically do it. And yet they allegedly had this position open for like 2 years and were unable to fill it. I heard in the interview process that I was only competing against one other person, it was basically a freebie. The funny part is this gov site has several "prime" contractors and I had personally applied to an identical position with one of the other agencies and literally never heard back. That contractor was still looking for this same position when I got hired and it turns out a different coworker at my company just got the in there about a month after me. Said guy had also applied for I believe the position I ended up getting but also simply never heard back, but did get headhunted by the other contractor through vague personal connections again as a freebie. I dunno it seems like HR must just dumpster any non-invite applications. PoundSand has issued a correction as of 22:25 on Oct 21, 2023 |

PoundSand posted:I dunno it seems like HR must just dumpster any non-invite applications. I work at a state university that requires all job openings be made public for a while, and, as a result, many offers are basically "fake" because they're already effectively reserved for someone. When I got a big raise a few years ago, it required creating a new position because my old one was hourly and new one was salary. So they put up this posting just as a formality. And they're doing the same thing for this other guy we want to hire full-time (who had previously been doing work via temporary contracts). I wonder what percent of positions that are "technically" public actually aren't.
