Comment Where's the work ethic? (Score -1, Flamebait) 31
Feels like job hiring has gone the way as travel bookings with Sabre where you have a couple big database systems with the actual information and then dozens of sites that just provide front ends for the same group of listings.
There are lots of places for reputable job listings. Government sites at various levels. Business associations and better business bureaus often share postings. NEWSPAPERS. They still exist, and still post actual job listings.
Or, you know, you could do the old fashioned thing and pound the fucking pavement. Getting up off your chunk and doing the old fashioned rounds is still one of the best methods there is. Make phone calls. You know, where you activate the dialer on your phone and punch in numbers and then hold it to your ear and speak. Tauten your vocal cords and force air through them while shaping the sounds with your mouth.
Call a company or organization and ask to speak to someone in the department where you want to work. Get that person's name. Ask if there are any openings in that area, then ask if they know of anyone else in the field looking. Talk to the people in the field before you approach HR.
I know, actually talking to someone is daunting, but I believe in you. And, hey, with some clever fiddle-faddling you can probably still use AI to prompt you on what to say.
If you can't demonstrate a work ethic LOOKING for a job, then how are you going to demonstrate one having a job.
