you: I have a bachelors and a masters, back to back internships of at least 8 months
Recruiter: sorry but we only accept people with 3+ years of experience for our entry level positions. i would recommend you an internship, but unfortunately you dont qualify for those either. For an internship here you need at least a pervious year's of internship experience, preferably at a big 4. you also need to ace a psychometric test by scoring in the 99.99th percentile. we also want you to know everything before hand so we dont have to train you. we also want you to be enrolled in studies so we dont have to pay you the full market rate either. i wish i could give you this entry level minimum wage janitor/sales person position user but theres nothing i can do. i also noticed you have a 3 week work gap on your cv. now fuck off.
fuck this gay earth. all i wanted to be was a contributing member of society.
To be fair, there were pretty severe recessions in the 70s and early 80s.

I personally have no issue this! Why would you want to hire a no experience know it all Zoomer when you can get someone that actually has experience.
Landon Ortiz
we're talking about the unrealistic expectations surrounding new grads retard
David Martinez
Nepotism. It happened in the 60/70/80s, it happens now. If you dont know people/have family in high places, you are nobody
Kevin Phillips
Lie

>new grads retard aka people with no experience...Internships for 8 months is not experience... listen RETARD I have a job & yep it pays well! Best of luck with those student loans HA HA HA HA You fell for the university meme Whos the real retard? Atleast i am a a contributing member of society... & you wonder why you don't have a job!
Brody Martin
its an obvious exaggeration ofc, im not talking about nepotism however, im talking about how radically easier it was to get a job back then. your degree was a sign, a stamp of proof that you were qualified for a kind of job. no, degrees arent even worth the paper theyre printed on.
its an issue that ive been thinking about as part of my fathers anecdotes. he applied to 20 jobs and had at least 5 offers after school in 1981.
now, people think in that age category think im mentally ill because i apply to hundreds and dont get accepted, or i dont want to work.
did you live in those years?

>You fell for the university meme yes i did, i fell very hard

Why not to move in some normal country? In Russia they don't ask all that shit.
Jackson Wilson
In all Seriousness, Work on your people skills. I don't know you but, the majority on this board have shit people skills. The current job i have is contact work but i got the job offered to me. I had literally ZERO experience in my current field. People skills is all I have. This is one of the things you gain through experience. People buy people Work in a pub Work in a shite call centre Just practice projecting what people want to see/hear, Its all bullshit anyways!
Easton Turner
well im not from usa but i think it has to do with half your industry moving overseas, rampant immigration and the increasing female workforce. In a nutshell, less jobs and more competition than ever. What are your skills?
Carter Wilson
>What are your skills? i have 2 business degrees, and some bullshit internships
Lucas Carter
have you considered moving to other country? learn another language and you got a tool not many have
Jayden White
Lmao kys loser Feels good knowing i got the job and 10000 losers didn’t :^)
Logan Gonzalez
>In Russia they don't ask all that shit. Only because Russian workers literally chimped out and killed the bourgeoisie. Then they killed the peasants who might become bourgeoisie just for good measure.
Employers know if they press the workers too hard they'll get it again.
Kevin Wright
It wasn't quite that easy, at least not in what we now call STEM. But it wasn't as hard as it is now.
Joshua Price
>In Russia they don't ask all that shit. lol. Russian NEET here. Unless you want a shitty $200 a month job you a need a piece of toilet paper from the university saying you've wasted 5 years of your life there and qualified enough. But you could probably buy a fake diplima, no one fact checks anything here, so I'm unironically considering that if crypto dies
Robert Hernandez
wow turns out that importing tons of minorities and chinks without increasing the number of total jobs increases competition
Cameron Thomas
This. But everyone gets there education on Facebook now.
Charles Miller
btw im also gay if that matters
Logan Lewis
>It wasn't quite that easy actually, compared to now, it was VERY easy. just ask an actual boomer for reference, i did. all you had to do was print your cv 50 times, and some generic bs cover letter while not having any experience, send your paper amil to 50 corporations in your region, and you were guaranteed to get at least a couple of offers had you even graduated even from a second tier school. yes, it was that easy. people literally sometimes walked into jobs on the spot.
Sebastian Diaz
i use a dynamic ip thats why i have a nametag, but good try. yet back then being out of work was actually tied to the economy, being out of work now ties to your degree being worthless. you could have the greatest bull run in history and still be unemployed. technology and globalism has rendered old economical theories obselete.
Colton Smith
Have you applied to financial reporting or junior business controller jobs?
Jason Allen
its not that easy, ive applied to everyhting, but having no experience in that area is a significant handicap, including the crater of a work gap on my resume now.the last interview i got was 3 months ago. i feel like getting rejected automatically now.
Brandon White
Try not being a sperge
Michael Garcia
Fill the time gap with «crypto currency trader» or say you travelled
Oliver Campbell
Don't worry. Soon the federal reserve and their boomer army will be wiped from the face of the earth. Then communism will be cleansed and we can return to a free market once again.
