Mane sometimes you gotta apply just for the hell of it. My boy was telling me his homegirl use to apply to 20 jobs a day, and since then found 3 jobs. Only thing that sucks is that it takes time to apply to jobs, so u cant even Spam HR ppl smh

Well I've decided to have a positive outlook on things and apply to jobs even if they are not in my field. I speak Spanish and German and was looking at German companies that have established themselves in the US, I would love to go into pharmaceutical sales but that field is VERY competitive. We all have to start somewhere so if I can get an entry level job in one of these companies I'll take it in a second, even if I made more money working while I was still in college.

that sucks manOriginally Posted by FungusFoot85
just graduated college, have no job and all the lame jobs I see pay very little. I'd rather just stay home all day selling stuff online and going to the gym. my gf pays for a lot of dinners and drives me everywhere so I rarely move my 335i (paid off) which is a gas guzzler. I don't know what to do with my future at this point I am worried. I am a hard worker, smart, likeable, presentable and fluent in 3 languages, don't mean to sound ostentatious but I feel like this economy is wasting talent such as myself because I am not gonna be a slave of cheap labor... rant over
i dont think (&#$ is gonna get any better either, this economy i mean.
damn 3 languages? which ones.........i mean that alone should get you something good even before you gradated college.........

You have a misconception of HR....HR actually looks at all resume for a particular job but filter job application sites(monster, careerbuilder, and their direct sites) filter out potential employees. Meaning if certain key words are in your resume HR wont ever see it. You have to know what job your applying for and know what they are looking for. Once it makes it to HR they make sure that you meet the required qualifications and forward it to a manager. From their a manager determines if you will get an interview. I know this because I just went thru this process with a Lubrication Tech I am about to hire. He was found on monster, and it went through all the filters and finally made it on my desk.Originally Posted by Ace Rawstein
killing apart about a lot of this is...and im not sure if many of the younger people out there know this, but in government...Ill say 75% of the time you see a job listing the organization already has someone in mind that they want to hire that is already with the organization and posting the job is just a technicality
I really really hate that...im sure its not only restricted to government either...its just a waste a @$@# time!!!
and Human Resources as a whole are just as #%#$ up...you would think that they are real people and actually going over your resume with a fine tooth comb but in reality alot of times they are just pulling off the years and months you worked a job and assigning points to ur whole app. They get so many applications that they cant do them justice...i feel peeps w/o alot of experience rarely get a fair chance
and dont get me started on the misleading job descriptions that they list...some are so discouraging that you dont wanna bother applying and then turn out that the actual job you would be doing is nowhere near as stressful and analytic as they make it seem...and then you get full fledged #$%#% training on top of that!!...so whats the #%$ point of meeting every last requirement????
I wont go as far as saying its misconception...just my experiences and what I have heard. When you have to write letters to have your application reviewed again because you know for a fact u qualified and then they issue you a bs apology sayin they overlooked something or you go through the whole interview process then offered and accepted the job only to have things fall thru on the last overview by HR...then maybe you could understand where im coming from...when i say that bout HROriginally Posted by jhobson5
