The field is badly saturated, a single job could have 2 to 8 K applicants. It took me 6 months to find a job, I’ve applied to more than 6k jobs, average of 30 jobs per day. With all due respect to the creator, this report is bullshit.

@user-if8op4et5i 8 дней назад

I'm guessing you were so focused on criticizing me that you didn't actually read what I wrote, or perhaps you struggled to understand it. You could be the most qualified candidate, but with thousands of other applicants, the chances of your resume being noticed or securing an interview are slim. I have about 16 solid years of experience, and I customize my resume for most of the jobs I apply to. Despite this effort, for every 1,000 jobs I've applied to, I've only received one or two interviews. In total, I've had probably 6 or 8 interviews. This indicates that my resume is either not being seen or there are many other candidates with similar or higher qualifications. You should use your brain for thinking, and by not doing so and writing the first thing that comes to mind, you're not doing yourself any favors.

Tech jobs are coming back because AI has a scaling factor roadblock that isn't easily solved. So for the time being labor is still needed. Did you know that the government has reserved a trillion dollar budget for a war they are provoking with Russia and China. They have also silently enlisted every male citizen into a potential draft between the ages of 18 to 26 years old, unless that male person is working for a politician, those people are exempt. And the sennet is proposing to enlist all the women in this age range too. This is a way to remove an uncontrollable voter base and replace them with dependent voters. i.e. all the illegal immigrants that are being let into the country and given help until the meat grinder does its job with our children. Sorry, I'm just sick of this political crap and in a really bad mood after connecting the dots.
