Well, problem 1 is using indeed. What an obsolete site for most places. But i get the joke.

Not that prospects are much better elsewhere. Like LinkedIn for instance with their “click here for instant apply” and then you see that you’re one of 50 people (today) to apply for this open role and some AI in the background estimated based on your profile that you have 22% chance of getting the job BUT if you pay for premium you can knock that 22% up to 50% and an AI writes you a better profile…

I really do feel sorry for the crap the boomer gen and even my generation (genx) has left every generation after.

What should I be using then?

[-] SonnyVabitch@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

If you listen to the crowd on here, a guillotine on the ruling classes.

Well obviously, I meant beyond that

LinkedIn and Indeed combo still work fine, but personal network is age old and never not the best choice.

"personal networking" feels a lot like just saying "go fish in a bathtub"

[-] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

It means "be rich".

People who have to work 40 hours a week, plus do their own cooking and cleaning, plus all their own errands, plus taking care of the kids or pets, don't have time to network.

There's a reason politics is filled with rich lawyers and finance people, and it because they have the luxury of networking.

anyone who says 'networking' is a charlatan imo. at least try to word it like a human being while giving advice

Depends on how big your bathtub is. But really. Knowing people in your field is always helpful.

It's basically useless when you've tried your network and it's all dead ends. This advice feels like the "don't be ugly" of the employment world.

Don't use Indeed, dumbass. Talk to a headhunter. They get paid by employers to find you a job. Every single professional job I've ever had has come through a headhunter, and the jobs have been great.

I do wonder at times how many of these are just people putting in poor applications.

My experiences are almost 1:1 in terms of applications, interviews and job offers. As someone who recruits others, there is a lot of absolutely trash applications that are completely irrelevant to the role they're applying for.

Not saying it's easy, but many people are also not putting their best foot forward.

Isn't this more of an indictment of the Indeed platform than shitty employers?
