130 applications (over 8 months)

Literally this. You have no idea how many times I have been told by HR/employment agency that “you gotta have someone to vouch for you”.

Are you actually going in, shaking hands w/ management and making an impression or are you doing online apps like a pleb?

Obviously that's the problem.

user try this:
>rewrite that cv to match each posting you apply to, but use existing one as the base
>let your resume have empty space, even if everything on there is legit, a crowded resume can look desperate
>look up companies you like and find postings on their site instead of job boards
>follow up emails (1 wk after submission) are helpful
>find 4 keywords from every job listing you apply to and nonautistically work them into your resume,cv
>white 1pt text with entire job description pasted into footer for each job you apply (old trick, but if all else fails; it can also get you blacklisted tho from larger firms I'm sure)

>implying I haven’t followed your “advice”
>implying i dont tailor my application for each job

Thats why its 130 apps over 8 months not 1300.

Each application itself takes several hours to do. Not that you would know ofcourse since your rich uncle probably got you your first job.

look them in the eye and give the manager a nice firm handshake

"GIVE ME A FUCKING JOB" -- Typical.

Have you not figured out yet that nobody is going to GIVE you shit?

Two options: Take or Earn.

This has been you're daily lesson from a self employed old fag with employees.

That is all.

Oof, you seem stressed. It'll happen for you dude. Remember that venting your frustrations here is in no way giving up. Don't accidentally trick yourself

the first filter of hr is to get rid of autistics, are you one of them?

>tfw 20 year old graduate
>tfw first job I called give me the job
>tfw 6 months in I'm making 260k as a lead development project manager

feels good

This is it....If I don’t get a job by the next week i am going to pick up my AR15 and pay a visit to the last company that rejected me

I guess it’s time to go to networking events. What kind of job are you looking for?

>AR15
Plz don't use the liberal boogiegun. Think of the optics! Kill them with something fun and interesting, like a flamethrower.

r/resumes

Lose some weight fatass

LARP more faggot

>130 applications
>no job

you are useless. you have no use, you are without unction, you are designed to be unfit for purpose, you are inapplicable, you have no value, you are not worth paying, no one wants you

Bro. If you put out 180 applications and haven't gotten one offer, your totally applying to the wrong fucking places.
Are you seriously that much of a dumb dumb? do you have several different types of resumes that' are specific to certain companies??

Like, if you put that many out, it's literally you.. do you wipe your arse with the paper and bring it in? are you autistic?
Like seriously how the fuck do you conduct yourself in such a manner that you can't land a fucking job.

>tfw two job offers organized for me by two professors before I even finished my degree
>tfw working turns out to be hell

All the jobs I got since 5-6 years ago where by random recruiting agencies calling me up.

Hotels always, ALWAYS, need night auditors. Easy, chill, decent pay for unskilled labor.

t. receptionist

I wrote my CV in vim from command line and got a top job 2 weeks later in an international company.

Maybe thats more related to their background (rich kids ?). Me and my friends just responded to open vacancies.

Kek I come literally from the most shittiest background you could imagine and I worked my way up. No help from no one.

Post your resume and the letter you send. Make it fully anonymous, I will genuine review it for you.

>tfw I literally know some rich spoiled brat who got his first job from his rich uncle

Have you though about doing farm labor?

You get paid per basket you fill with fruit.

Again, doing what?

lol im sure this self employed old fag understands the job market of 2018 that he helped to destroy

i just applied here. like unironically i just applied to be a literal garbage man.

Attached: 1200px-Waste_Management_logo.svg.png (1200x442, 38K)

get a skill you dumb shit

what the fuck is wrong with being a garbage man?

unionised, stable, obvious contribution to society

yeah, you're still a wage cuck, but at least it's not retail

Like others have said, make a cover letter specific to the job you're applying to.

Know the name of HR or whoever will be looking at your resume. Write
>Dear Mr/Mrs/Ms/Dr/etc...
And then write about what you know about the company and what you like about it (research it)

Add to your resume that you're mobile and able to move where you would be ever needed. This is a huge plus for major national/international corporations.

Flat out on your resume or flare it up. One thing employers love is student athletes. Flat out lie and say you did a sport for your school's athletic team. Just be sure to be able to back it up in case they ask about it. Employers see student athletes as very hard workers who have experienced failure and hardship but never give up.

Exaggerate your hobbies and activities like one user said. Make yourself sound smart. Just say you were a regional chess champion or president of some obscure school club like the Theater Club. If you are applying to a basic finance-related job, say you were the financial officer for a fraternity. Make up shit that sounds important but people won't bother to look too deeply into. Be able to back it up if a question is thrown at you.

I keep hearing over the last few months rumors of how you can make yuge money in West Texas and they take anyone who is willing to work hard. I've checked around the websites like rigzone etc but they all want 3 years of experience and explanation of any gaps over the past ten years employment history which I have a gap from trading the last few years.

Bring hard copies of your resume to interviews.
~ALL CAPS~ every mention of a [insert company name here] on your master cover
letter template so you don't fuck that up.
Rehearse a ~30 second elevator pitch summary for every job and project on your resume prior to interviewing.
Tailor the order and content of your resume to individual companies based on their listed needs.
Bring a notepad to interviews, and make sure you have the emails of everyone you speak with by the time you leave.
Send follow ups to them thanking them for their time and the opportunity to meet with them.
Use their name in conversation when you first meet them.
Don't be a autist and stare at their desk for the entire interview.
Ask specific questions about the role of the department you're interviewing for and your prospective position that can't just be answered with a 10 second google search.

It's not even that hard. If you're having that much difficulty finding employment then find out what's wrong and fix your shit user.

Texas pays shit for oil

Also don't listen to this cuck. Have a single resume and cover letter docs that you copy, cut down, and edit for each job. Hobbies don't count for shit and are a waste of space. Describe what your job was and how you did it. -- nothing more, nothing less. People who ask for feedback are people who think they still need to find a job. That's a bitch's mentality. Don't try to do what someone else did. You aren't them, and what they should do with their qualifications is always going to be different than what you need to do. Learn to sell yourself, not brad from accounting.

You want to be brief, clear, and precise about who you are and what you can offer the company. Also, if you're resume is longer than a single page and you have less then 10 years work experience then you done fucked up.

okay Bakken rather than Permian, it doest change the fact that while they say they have a huge shortage their job description disagree and contradict, they require years of experience even though they say entry level.

just get a CDL, you only need 6 months experience if you truck in the oilfield

So what, like go to a local CDL school and then get some local CDL-related job that requires no experience and has shit pay and endue that for 6 months and then I should be good? The boom will probably be over and busted by the time I complete all that. I just was interested in cashing in on the boom while it lasts.

Nigga I've applied to 90 places in the past 14 days. I wouldn't hire you either.

I did oil for 2 years

It's not worth it

One of my cousins became a garbage man, he bought a nice home and earns enough to raise an entire family now. He says its the best job he ever had, stable, no bullshit. Go for it man, i respect garbage men a thousand times more then any paper-shoving retard who contributes nothing to society. Don't let the Jow Forums memes get to ya... in the end, it's all a joke anyway.
