Not quite sure what it is, but I'm sensing a bit of tension here OP, how's the job hunt?

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 54 points 4 days ago

man, have you tried job hunting lately?

it's a nice day when i get an automated rejection email instead of the usual deafening silence

and when an actual human replies??? highlight of the month

Job hunting is a lot different in my country and field. I usually get a personal email from either the department lead or the CEO no matter the result from the application. It does depend a bit on the company though. The big multinational companies are a lot colder.

What country is this, Candyland?

[-] ebolapie@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Judging by the tld on their instance, maybe Denmark.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

Yes, Candyland.

Correct. Much smaller country with a much more limited employee pool, means the companies will have to show a bit of respect to the job seekers. Don't wanna piss someone off they may need later, or worse, piss someone off who tells everyone the company is shit and to be avoided. It does depend a lot on the field and region though.

Or just a small industry where everyone knows everyone else. I personally know probably 3/4 of all the hiring managers in my area for my field. Hell, two of them are in my weekly board game group. I could literally text someone for work right now and be hired before my DoorDash driver arrives with my dinner.

But during COVID, the entire industry was dry as a bone, and we lost a lot of good workers to other industries. As with everything, it entirely depends on the nature of the work.
