Rant: Applying for jobs online

[rebelandboltmanParticipant 640]

F~~~ the assholes who created the concept of applying for jobs online. Thanks to these mother f~~~ers, those who have the qualifications that these companies so desire get their applications lost in cyberspace or under a phlethora of other applications. You have created an opportunity for employers to pass the f~~~ing buck and tell any potential candidate, who has the b~~~~ to come in with a resume and apply in person, “Oh, go apply online. We are hiring.” So, said candidate goes back home, sits his ass down in front of the computer, goes to the website and applies as instructed. And then, whoop dee f~~~ing doo, he has to take an assessment questionnaire asking about his past, his feelings, and other pointless bulls~~~. I’m not applying for a job to talk about my FEELINGS or whether or not I was an honors student in 7th grade! I’m applying for a job so I can make money to pay my bills! After going through approximately 30-45 minutes of this, I finally get to submit my application. A week later, I check back in person and I get the response, “We’re not hiring. We’re accepting applications only.” WTF And what p~~~es me off even more, is that you go into grocery stores or dollar stores that I’ve applied at and you find one cashier and line of people waiting to check out. And they are not hiring. What the f~~~ is this bulls~~~! So thank you, assholes, who created the concept for applying for jobs online. You have created one of many frustrated hard workers who are trying to be responsible and meet their obligations chase so called “available positions” that actually aren’t available or waste their f~~~ing time and gas going into places with a sign that says “Now Hiring” and be told that they are not hiring but accepting applications.

I have a major f~~~ing TOME of a rant to add to this puppy, man. The f~~~ing lame-ass methods they use to “screen” and hire is so goddam pathetic…. if I were the CEO of these hiring companies, I would FIRE the useless f~~~tards in charge of finding skills and talent. CLUE-LESS.

“So What are you salary requirements?”

“Before the first interview? Oh, lick me where I s~~~ you goddam moron. I don’t discuss the size of the engagement ring on a first date either. What a stupid f~~~ing question.”

If I don’t stop here, I will be here until Tuesday on this topic.
Just know that I roger every word of yours.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

They came up with online applications when they found out that not only can they build a database of info on people then sell the info to the highest bidder but also it permits them to not have to deal with public.
They’ve found the perfect way to tell you f~~~ you and get away with it.
I haven’t applied online since 2004 and I thank my good fortune I don’t have to. I’m my own boss and boy is my boss nice!
I understand your level of frustration, reb3777, and I do hope someone will see your worth and hire you. But in the mean time, try to find a way to make YOU money. I know that going independent is a long, risky process, but what’s riskier? Sitting at home in the hopes some menginas will hire you while you fall off the unemployment rolls or going out there and relying on yourself?
I know you do realise that. I just wanted to give a small pep-talk to motivate you.
Be strong… Pain is momentary.

Don't let them Blame, Shame or Tame you!
Give 'em NOTHING, not even an answer!

Agreed!

In my industry, only a f~~~up applies online.

I post my resume online, and large companies come to me if they want my services.

I do apply in person at small companies that I would be interested in. But that’s fun for me… I have sent a large company a bill for my time after they chose not to hire me on the third interview. They are f~~~ing rats, sometimes.

My average time between jobs over the last ten years is 1 week…. I was lucky to pick the right industry, and the right skillset. I do feel for you guys that have more trouble. I remember when I was a 15 year old kid, trying to find my first job with nothing special to offer. I pounded pavement hard for 6 weeks without finding anything.

Weird fact about me: I emancipated at 15. I already had an apartment that I was paying with savings from an inconsistent job as a DJ that I held for a year or so. I desperately needed a steady weekend job to keep me ramen-noodled and rent-paid while I finished HS and college concurrently. I barely made it. And if I had found that job 3 weeks later, my life might have taken a drastically different path.

So as an aside… Good luck, man. I hope you get what you need.
