Go to an interview

trying to get a decent programming job as a currently jobless bum is a garbage chute
get into a company in a position that does some sort of computer-related work (especially anything involving excel) and move up when developer positions open
companies check internally first before they hire externally
and you dont have to quit for it, if you get turned down then oh well and if you get promoted you still have the "employee loyalty" built up from the time you worked there before

>go to interview
>alright well call you later and let you know
>get home
>get call
>Im going to have to decline
>pass charisma speech check
>take her out for dinner

Well not much else to tell it was a warehouse and I was basically suposed to keep stuff neat, sweeping, moving pallets out of the way, clearing packaging/plastic, making stuff a bit more neat in general with the specific item stacks. The boss guy was actually nice but yeah just worked one day of "training" aka just a normal day, but then someone above him was like "lay off everyone" Whatever I kept the nice work gloves I got there and still use them for stuff like outside yard work at home. Least I got paid for the one day.

>Go to uni to get a good job!
2019:
>Go to trade school to get a good job!
I've been bamboozled. At least it was fun.

Actually happened to me

It was the only thing I could get. :(

>It was the UK
Lmao some shitskin is doing your job for half the salary you would've found acceptable.

A hiring manager once told me off the cuff that they don't hire people who are currently unemployed or seem desperate or nervous during their interviews, because these candidates tend to be huge liabilities that will most likely hide their mistakes and then lie out the ass about them to keep their jobs, which is far worse than simply fessing up about a momentary lapse of judgement.

Hate this loop. Can't get a job without experience, can't get experience without a job.

>being such a brainlet that you can't even finish college
Would've killed myself, to be quite honest.

Actually I did finish college.

>can't get friends if you're depressed

>can't get a gf if you can't relate to women
>can't relate to women without having a gf
Welcome to the danger zone, motherfucker !

>wasting years of your life on a college degree only to end up doing labor work
Yikes ! Would've necked myself.

Well we mostly referring to jobs here, not relationships.

Because it's my fault that the job market sucks around here?

>im laughing at this whole situation and also going wtf... should I have called them for confirmation?
no, fuck those people

if they were serious they'd have dealt with you proper

that's not how to deal with a client/customer, ditch them and leave a negative review

>go to interview 9am-10:30am
>they tell me they have two more people to interview this afternoon
>call comes at midday
>I got the job
>at least one of the two other interviews got straight up cancelled
Felt very good.

>be neet
>applied to 20 warehouse jobs
>got 10 interviews
>can't even get a fucking warehouse job because no experience
>they keep telling me they'll call me back
>they never do
>anytime i try to call their HR they won't answer my messages or they're "in a meeting"
>got fired the one time I got hired through an agency after the first day because i didn't know how to use a pallet jack or how to lift it

Maybe you still should user.

Based. mine is different
>Go to interview
>get home 20 minutes later
>email saying I didn’t get the job.

Suck a few dicks for forklift training and pallet truck training, then you'll be set.

thats dumb

>only hiring people who don't want or need to work
Great logic

>friend of mine changes job
>recommends me
>I get an interview and during it I realize they didn't even read my resume

I'll keep you guys updated.

>Job interview on Friday
>If I don't get it, not sure how much longer I can mentally cope with my current job

you're on Jow Forums, have you tried becoming a webdev or are you a C purist

Are you me? I decided to eat the neet pill for a while and try freelance if my next interview doesnt land me a job.

they're probably desperate

>internship interview
>first interview is a phone interview
>do well, schedules an in person interview
>instead of it being in one of the multiple large buildings, the manager wants to meet with me at a Panera Bread on a Saturday morning
>go and interview well. ~2 hours, get the internship

i’m still an intern part time until i graduate in a few months. lucky me got to stay after summer with them since i’m not totally brain dead

this is 60% of job interviews

No he's not he's making more than what user would've settled for

>go to first "impression" interview (just to get to know you, nothing technical/job related)
>get called 2h later for the next one
>next interview
>at the end get asked "what would you do if you got the job"?
>"would invite my parents to a restaurant"
>"Then you should do that"
And that's how I got my place in the dual university program for business informatics (Wirtschaftsinformatik).
Only pays 45k€/year but a permanent
employment contract is guaranteed. 40h/week with flexitime.

I don’t understand this. I have literally never had a face to face interview and not gotten an offer. Are you motherfuckers just that uncharismatic?

This is literally the only thing that happens to me when I have a f2f. I literally had a guy tell me that he didn’t just tell me in the interview room because he didn’t want to sound too eager.

Kek. Took me a minute

>you're this old and you've never had a job user!?
>rejects me because no experience
What kind of evil prick made this a requirement for entry level jobs?

lie

bookmarking this thread
hoping for another call back in the morning relating to
at this point i want to fuck with them like they did to me

Don't they usually try to call the manager of the places you've "worked" before though?

wait you've literally never had any kind of job at all? HR likes that your working even if it has nothing to do with the job youre applying to. It shows you havent just been sitting around all day and actually went out of your way to get a paycheck.
>but muh projects
They're great to have but if it comes down to choosing two guys with projects both relating to the job and one of them held a job Mcdonalds for two years straight, the patty flipper is getting the job

damn

I have never worked a day in my life.

>wait you've literally never had any kind of job at all?
Yeah
>HR likes that your working even if it has nothing to do with the job you're applying to
>It shows you havent just been sitting around all day and actually went out of your way to get a paycheck
Well how the hell can I do this if nobody will give me a chance to do anything?

freelance and defunct companies

I'll try that and see what happens, thanks user.

>get an interview
>its a 60 hour a week telemarketing job

Here user, you'll need this

Yep, this is what being a CS brainlet feels like

Why didn't you do everyone a favour and shank him then and there? The only good hiring manager is a dead one.

I'm at 120 applications out right now with about 10 declines and 4 interviews scheduled

Real interviews or phone interviews? Phones dont count

You're gonna have to take a shitty job for awhile.

The only shitty jobs you can get with no experience are ones that pay about half minimum wage, and they don't count.

Yes, that's how job hunting works this day. Try again you brainlet.

nice user, now just dont screw up

The fuck can’t you use a pallet jack, it’s literal basic fucking sense. Push handle down, jack goes up. A monkey could do it

>Phones dont count
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's simple user. Next time they try and pull that shit with you, PUNCH THEM IN THE FACE TILL THEY STOP MOVING. After they're dead the remaining employees will thank you, help hide the body, and hire you on the spot. Everyone hates disgusting HR scum.

Idk man, have you tried not being a awkward weirdo?

kek

Real talk here: if you don't currently have a job then nobody will ever hire you. Your only option is self employment. Start a microbusiness user. It's your only chance.

Where do you live? Here in the east coast its piss easy to find shitty jobs that pay minimum wage. Dishwashers are always in demand since people quit so often

>tfw make less than 20k a year
AHHHHHHH

I don't take advice from sociopaths.

feels bad being a third worlder

isn't there a website for remote dev jobs from the U.S.?

happened to me for my first job
it was mcdonalds

I live in sydney, unskilled jobs require certifications or experience

Good answer, I'm going to steal that one.

I went to an interview and they asked if there's anything they could do better and I told them there are 7 errors on their web page, and it uses apache which is absolutely garbage and the list went on and on. I also explained why things were bad and alternatives. They never called me back because they knew if I worked there I'd not only make them all look bad, but all my time would be fixing their shit instead of fixing their clients shit.

Why are you even here, then?

>feels bad being a third worlder
But user, I'm in the US

I'm here forever.

Don't worry, gookmoot will take care of that

>implying

no work place limits themselves to a single interview, as you shouldn't either.
You should (if looking for employment) be looking at doing multiple interviews a week, minimal.

literally how it used to be.. in the good days

Meh

similar happened with my IT job. got a call 4 hours after the interview about getting the job

Are you white?

>went to interviews
>they called back
>hung up

yea
