Ah yeah i can tell your a high school drop out and don't get how expensive or hard it is to get a degree how is she the victim imagine working so hard and not even getting a normal paying job.@@oddneighbour
Don't fret. Over-qualified is a legal term so they don't get sued and to dismiss you nicely. It makes you think you're good wo having to tell you why or THAT they are rejecting you. You see how effective it is bc it's in common use even though it was originally coined for turning down applicants over 40 yrs of age (wh you couldn't legally do). Learn the buzz words, you may be able to turn a dismissal into a chance to find out more info about the job or the boss. Be sure you send cover letters or add them to email or online applications. If the person pre selecting interview candidates is sharp, it can keep her from tossing your resume. Good luck to everyone. Hope you find a happy and fulfilling life. 😂❤
My mother always told me how being hired with experience is actually harder than being hired with no experience, simply because of competition. if you are the point of this poor woman, you might actually have to fake little to no experience, and not even mention your degree. it’d very insulting but i’m sure she needs a job desperately. if you want to use your resume make sure all is relevant to the application and make separate resumes depending on where you are applying (sales only, food/retail, etc) but do not number the files. (they will know you tailored multiple). whether they feel bad because they think you’re over qualified, or because they think you’ll drop them at a better opportunity, lie lie lie. resumes are all about kissing their ass. you are probably not going to get a minimum wage job with a college degree
She also didn’t say what education she got. It’s mostly likely one of the silly ones like art or something. Not very common to have two degrees in engineering it’s usually some theoretical/abstract degree
Right like wtf did I get into so much debt and struggle for years just to get a degree that I can’t even put on my resume because it makes people not want to hire me?
I feel like this even with a degree in computer engineering... having to compete for a job in tech with people who only studied 3 months before starting working on the field and are having better opportunities. Once, I said in an interview that having a degree in this field in so undervalued and I was removed from the selection process.
I actually have 3 resumes. They are tailored to the types of jobs I apply for. You DON'T need to put everything in the resume, just what is applicable to the industry you're applying to & suitable references
indeed! she had 2 degrees : communications and acting.. i mean its worthless in the modern day workforce. what does she wants to become a jester from the middle ages? the only place she could go is theatre but that isnt highly paid. if she had an MBA, accounting, IT , finance , lawyers degree now then we're talking
True, and she should apply on line too, and leave out the degrees part. Tailer resume for jobs she’s applying too. And while working the minimum wage job learn some other valuable skills on the side so she can leave this job one day.
Same bro, I got 3 as well, one for retail, one for warehousing, one for hospitality, defo preferable to hospitality and I literally always get a call back day one searching for a new job cause they expect so little and I bring so much.
You need two types of resume, your professional resume and your minimum wage/part-time resume. In your min/part-time resume don't share specifics or widthold some of your degrees, technical skills and other professional jobs, the less they know you are overqualified the better for scoring the job.
This!! I literally did the same thing made a 2nd resume removed one degree and took some skills away. After 11mos of being unemployed I finally got a job offer. They claim “no one wants to work” when actually these companies don’t want to hire actual working people. Lots of companies are implementing robots these days too.
YES this is so true. I know someone with a PhD in Archaeology who couldn’t find work in his field, so started applying for other jobs. He only got offers after he removed the PhD from his resume.
she’s not overqualified since her “qualifications” are meaningless art degrees. i cant wait til gen z has all entered the workforce, they’ll finally realise the world doesnt care about your pronouns or your gender theory degree🥰
no youre all just misinformed and eat up whichever short i saw the original post she’s qualified for like communications and like acting basically her degrees r terrible and shes actually using them in the video ig a good idea is for her to search a teacher job it would be easier for her
This looks like nyc might be wrong but if it's a minimum wage job, she can go just about anywhere. Pharmacy, retail, whatever is seasonal. Most people start seasonal. Also going door to door isn't a thing anymore I was trying that in like 2018 and was getting the "apply online" quote. Plus places like retail you can apply to multiple locations at one time. Either she real behind or this is all just cap.
I did this for like 9-10 months I had never been so down on myslef An ice cream shop interviewed me 3 times!!! And I didn’t get the job!!??? And that happened at 2 other places. They don’t want to give anyone a chance to prove themselves. They want someone who has already been doing that exact job for years 😂
True, they want people with experience for 192737822 years also they want to pay less 😂 Besides how people will have experience, they never give the chance
Places that are eager to hire are probably not places you want to work anyway, in my experience. They are eager to hire for a reason and it’s usually because there’s a high turnaround rate there and they can’t keep people that are willing to endure the toxic environment that they create themselves. At the same time though, if someone with 3 years experience with working in an ice cream store or in foood/retail applies at the same time you do and you don’t have that much experience, they are obviously going to prioritize them first because employers don’t want to invest too much into training. Employers also want to see that people have been in their roles previous for a minimum of one year before they will even consider hiring them. I was turned down a lot too because I jumped from job to job when I was unhappy with my last one. I didn’t start getting calls or offers to take the next step in the hiring process until I had long term employment to show on my record and great references. My boyfriend got his job right out of college because he had been working for 5 years at his last job and his boss said it showed loyalty and the ability to stay in one place for a good amount of time. They don’t want people to come and go and have to retrain new people every few months or yearly. Freelance workers and people who jump around from job to job won’t even be considered, their resume goes straight into the shredder. I’ve seen my boss shred resumes like that. It’s not often that they won’t give people a chance… Teenagers starting out have jobs, too. It’s more often than not that the employee has shown a past of not sticking around for very long and doesn’t have good references either, as a result. People I work with were hired before they even interviewed because head office was so impressed with their resume.
A wise man on reddit once said, "How can we tell our kids 'education is the key to success' when we're surrounded by poor graduates and rich criminals?"
I don't care much for that statement. The implication is that the criminals aren't educated? Unless you're a drug dealer, and barring a few exceptions (dropping out to start Facebook, Paypal, etc), the vast majority of mega rich people all have degrees.
But they're also poor criminals and rich educated people . Being rich is a separate matter where a lot of factors intervene like bravery ,smartness opportunity and luck ...
My struggle with minumum wage jobs is the fact that on the website they constantly have the positions open as hiring but when you go irl they say theyre not. I had a manager tell me they just have it up there all the time . I understand her fustration and unfortunately most people (including me) get jobs by knowing people and hopefully they can give a good word about us. It is a fustrating process, not impossible.
I can identify with this young lady. You're right it's not impossible, but it is extremely hard to find work right now. You need connections, without them you're pretty much screwed. Because with a college degree you're over qualified for the minimum wage jobs and the jobs you've studied for the companies aren't hiring, or probably in her case she doesn't have the experience their looking for. It's tough out there!
@@christinaadam5078 A college degree doesn't make someone over qualified. Your level of qualification is mostly based on your practical real world experience with applied knowledge and demonstrated skillsets. Your academic background is just a basis to begin a conversation for a position or role.
@@eyesofascension8678 Thank you for the education. I have 40 years of work experience, so now what is your come back? Again thank you for your very comment as ridiculous as it is.
@@christinaadam5078 I've been working since the mid-90's across the spectrum as a laborer, service industry, then later in the STEM field as a Systems Engineer. Not a single thing I said is ridiculous. I'm not sure what your aversion is to my response, maybe you just don't like to be challenged on your positions? But I assure you that I have plenty of real world applied experience and life experience that has taught me that no paper from a university entitles you to anything. I have 3 Bachelor's degrees by the way. I never went into the world believing the absurdity that society owed me anything just because I sat in lecture halls for several years.
Companies leave job ads up bc it's cheaper to buy them to run all year than sporadically. Besides, I can guarantee you every company in America has tons of resumes for every job, sitting in their file cabinets. Some pitch them, so you could get lucky.
this is actually true according to economics and we were also taught about it at school, and the governments have to take actions for these so i guess our lives depend on them too... but hey, its not impossible to change it by ourselves
Please. There are plenty of jobs, the people having trouble right now finding jobs think they are too good for those jobs. They are also probably mad about student loans, but thank god the other 60% of the work force with out a degree is providing them with income tax to pay off that loan.
So true 👍🏼 I used to be an HR Recruiter for a few years, was very idealistic and always source candidates who have the best qualifications meaning good education, relevant trainings & extensive work experience. I made sure I was matching personalities with the existing company culture & specific managerial preferences. But all efforts went to waste when.... A powerful "boss" will straight away ask for a security pass for his cousin/ nephew/ Godson who will start on Monday. 😂
Honestly, not always. Networking & connections do not a sure fire thing like they used to be. Unless, it’s literally like your best friend or a close family friend, even having inside references doesn’t mean you’ll get the job.
That's not true! I definitely want to work, and people are advertising they are hiring when they clearly aren't. When I see a woman handing out resumes on a street corner instead of begging, that tells me everything I need to know.
Same here. 2 degrees, I speak 3 languages fluently, did my degrees in English and applied for jobs for which I would be overqualified, because the ones that fit my qualifications, they want experience. Sorry but how, if I just graduated. And since I live on my own and have to take care of these bills, I can not go and do an internship ( also big ripoffs, organizations are happy to have someone do a 40 hour week for 500 bucks a month). It took me now 5 months to find a proper job and now I’m happy with that job. But up to this point it was hell, it hurts your self-esteem and you start to ask yourself if you have wasted 5 years studying…. Hang in tight everyone, as difficult as it sounds, but you only need one company to believe in you and trust in your skills. Best of luck to anyone going through these tough times, your luck will be just around the corner, don’t give up.
@@iii-ei5cv question is... Do you have one 🤨 I'm still in highschool so i obviously don't but if your saying "getting shit degrees" then you should have one ur self
Exactly the older generation believes whatever propaganda the news spits out. I think the propaganda is meant to keep workers from unionizing and asking for better work conditions, better pay and better benefits. Corporations are playing a game right now. Saying two things at the same time…. No one wants to work right now and at the same time acting like they cannot afford to hire anyone. Maybe some corporations are waiting depending on who gets elected in 2024. What doesn’t make sense to me is how corporations that make million if not billions act like they cannot afford to pay livable wages offer paid time off for quality of life and sick time and not offer health insurance?
@@iii-ei5cvmy mother has two degrees in both management and marketing and when she applied to be a junior management for her company they told her she was over qualified and should go somewhere else.
its both, many people dont want to work and dont see it as important while older generations maybe didnt want to work but saw it as their duty to do so
Fun fact, if you’re overqualified with things like multilingual or several degrees, you’re generally not hired because they think you’re not going to stay long so what’s the point in hiring you. However, this is not always the case and you can still get minimum wage jobs while being overqualified…. but it’s just harder in general. Edit: it’s awesome to see people sharing their stories! For some extra context, some of the hiring managers I knew would tell me they have people they don’t hire due to them being overqualified with the given reasons and even if you ask them they won’t tell you that because they don’t need to tell the truth on why you’re not hired or sometimes they’d just ghost you due to the sheer quantity of applicants.
I did apply for care taking job and did not mention I have studies at university. Not relevant for the work I applied and I wanted to gain experience on health care sector. Not working there any more, but I applied for seasonal work so it was clear for every body that I would not continue there for long.

This is why i have two different cv, one is ordinary af... the other with master's degree.. also some jobs are so predatory, entry level stuff but directly report to director/department supervisor??? The wage is little for so much task in place.
This is why you work and go to school, going straight to college after graduating high-school is a double edged sword. I beat out tons of educated people to get my job, I had the experience but not the education. It won't hurt you to put less information on your resume, some employers get intimidated by college grads silly I know. They don't want to hire someone who could possibly replace them. I hope it works out for you somehow, good luck young lady.
@@Hhhh22222-w different resumes for different positions - check.. not too much information - check. gain experience even at a voluntary capacity - check. smile, dress appropriately, be early/ on time - check. & if experience is 3 months up to one year, don't include. - check...
A lot of minimum wage jobs aren't keen on hiring "overqualified" people...and these days, given the sorry state of higher education, some bosses might actually hold relatively recently acquired degrees against you. It also depends on what your degrees are in. Speaking multiple languages however is usually looked upon well.
@@HopefulDarknessIf you live in an area where the 3 languages you speak are commonly encountered then being able to speak those 3 languages will get you hired faster. The pay being minimum wage isn't an exception to this. In her situation, it's her other education that's holding her back from getting a minimum wage job
Actually, this is high paying jobs as well. A lot of very experienced people will lose their jobs after "timing out" just to go to other places and be rejected for that very experience. They are worried about not paying you what you expect to be paid based on your experience so they would rather reject you than give it a shot. I used to be a hiring manager, and the workforce is SUPER messed up and only getting worse.
Its common sense. Minimum wage jobs are not going to waste their time training someone who is overqualified because they are obviously just using taking the job temporarily until they find something they are qualified for. If she wants a minimum wage then DON'T stand there handing out your overqualified resume and dont mention you graduated college.
It's either overqualified, and when you are qualified, it's the no experience. And when you think you have good educations and experiences, they'll then tell you that you should have driving license. And the car. And must live nearby.
Its not overqualified lol, she has a degree in communication and acting lmao. Useless degrees. And these degrees are not going to help at a min wage job
Suddenly all those internship opportunities and club activities that your university promoted but you just ignored... makes sense?! Who would've thought!
Depending on what job you want you can get internships or do some volunteer work for charities that need someone to do that job. Idk just throwing this out there
It helps when you work during your studies, even in high school, so you can gain basic skills. College is a waste of money unless you're going to be an engineer, doctor, or architect.
The worse part is that the places that tell her "they're not hiring" are probably understaffed but would rather overwork their current employers to save themselves money. The whole systems corrupt
Yeah they also don’t want people with intelligence or any pride self worth in themselves because they don’t want them or society to want for better but to be grateful for the minimum wage jobs.
I also have been struggling to find a job at 22 years old…..this is ridiculous, most people think I’m overreacting or not trying hard enough. It’s SUPER FRUSTRATING!
Yeah, it is rough trying to find something. I didn't go past a semester of college but I did have relevant work experience for the job I applied to. It was a Crossing Guard position and I have experience working with School Bus transportation. Week or so later and I read that the teachers in the area are planning to go on strike soon.
For me, I would just lie or never put the degree achievement in my resume if the degree never have anything to do with the job. It just make me looks like I want to flex my grade even tho the job that I applied just need the bare minimum of highschool graduates certificate
Some companies look for translators in a range of positions. She needs to think outside the box. She could start as a volunteer translator at court hearings, charities, or websites and make connections while volunteering. Impress with your reliable work ethic and empathy.

Yes, if it’s not relevant to the job you’re applying to, don’t include it. I’ve been involved in the hiring process, and I don’t look at the education- just the job experience. With school, honestly, everything you learned is in theory. It doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be able to apply that knowledge and excel in the industry.

What’s odd is we’re not usually inexperienced. Many college students work either a regular job or in various campus positions. It’s rare to go through university these days without gaining some work field experience. I had over 4 high skill level leadership positions from campus involvement alone. You can work organizing events, teaching/mentoring younger students, volunteer work is a norm(often serving underserved portions of the community and doing grit work as much as organizational), etc at least at my university it was normal to be highly involved because of the work field but if people dismiss you because they see a degree on your resume and don’t get to see the skills and positions...then it’s ignorance on part of the employers who are missing great employee potential but also the idea you can be overqualified but not experienced enough is just inherently ridiculous. Everyone has to start work at some point. They either want workers or they want the work force to dwindle if it’s only anyone who managed to acquire a minimum wage job by whatever arbitrary year they have in mind
I have been job searching every single day for over a YEAR. I have an associates degree at 20, and not a single person has contacted me back even for an interview. Not even Mcdonalds. As a teen i was told to focus on school so i didn’t have to get a job. But now i have nothing.

@@terrelldurocher3330acting could be argued as useless, but not communication. while it might not seem obvious, but communication is related to journalism, newscasting, and sometimes even PR. so clearly she got a somewhat worthwhile degree. she could go and work at a news station if they’re hiring or work as writer/editor for a newspaper company. but we also know she has a degree in acting, which can work perfectly into becoming a PR manager who has to address the general public in a way that puts her company in good light, making good use of her ability to manipulate words(which is one way communication can be viewed) and her charm(which i assume you get from learning about acting). so no, she didn’t get the wrong degrees, she’s probably looking in the wrong. personally, i would tell her to become a teacher because i know it’s relatively easy to get into(my mom was able to get a job as a teacher at my local middle school within a month or two of applying) and stay there until she can find a job elsewhere. or stay there permanently if she likes it
@@terrelldurocher3330acting could be argued as useless, but not communication. it might not seem like it, but a communications degree has links to careers as a journalist, newscaster, and even PR manager. for a communications degree, you spend a lot of time reading and analyzing different kinds of literature while also learning how to convey your own thoughts into a sensible way that makes sense. in other words, you learn how to manipulate words in your favor. as a journalist/writer/editor, she would know how to manipulate the news or whatever the in a way that pleases her newpaper company while also resonating with the readers. in newscating it’s a similar story. as a PR manager, she can even bring her acting degree into use. as a PR manager, you have to. address the public pretty frequently to answer questions the general public may have and, at the same time, you have to advocate for your company in a good light, even if they’re not always “good.” while you do learn about public speaking in communications degree classes, an acting degree can help you not only be immune to stage fright, but be able to also charm your audience and make them feel at ease, which can help with your reputation and your company’s reputation, which is something also company’s want. in short, there are uses to both a communications and acting degree and you really shouldn’t call them useless. acting is debatable, but communications, in my eyes, is not
Speaking from the same experience, hide your high educational qualification and simplify resume for basic jobs. The managers get scared of over qualifications or feel unsecured.
I never thought about that, but it makes total sense! Many mediocre managers out there, that's why the status quo is kept (no need to say some of them secure their positions -and/or "some things to be done according to their will" through getting "intimately" involved with some of the owners/shareholders.)
The real reason they don't want somebody with a degree is because they don't want to hire someone who's going to leave next month because they found a position in the field that they have been studying for years now. It takes time to recruit someone and it takes time to the person get used to the workplace. It's simple as that. Remember guys your resume it's you sales pitch for the employers, you just have to think about what the employer is looking for in that position.

Won many awards, trips, ect....had the 2nd highest sales on our state1 yr. And 3rd highest another year. They sent her to multiple stores in NJ and PA to "fix" them when they were screwed up......and the kicker. What they fired her for, she wasn't ever there when it happened. She was on her paid vacation. Higher up said if SHE did her job, the manager that screwed up that day would have done theirs. They then stalked her social medias. Forced her to unfriend any employees she was friends with threatening to take her severance package away. Even tho she NEVER ONCE talked crap about them online.

I especially feel this in the trades industry. We are told that there is a massive blue collar shortage in the US, yet companies are stingy when it comes to hiring and training apprentices. Trade schools are bullshit and don't guarantee you shit; the local unions are your best bet for actually getting into a trade, but good luck when they rarely open applications and support an obtuse hiring process.
Yep. And they don't tell you that you can't support more than maybe yourself on the income. So if you got a late start in life and want to support your family, don't expect your wages to be enough for a few years. And I'm tired of them claiming "doctor wages" for those with more experience cause that's often not true either. You'd have to own a business in a trade to get there and not everyone is cut out to run a company. No doctor I know has to own a clinic or hospital to earn their very large salary.
But they told me unions are great. Do you mean to tell me the unions are limiting the number of trainees to artificially limit the number of workers so they can inflate wages. For shame. 😂

I applied for more than three thousand jobs in my last year of college and I got ZERO interviews. My degree is in aerospace engineering. Eventually I got hired by going to an event where everyone was being interviewed on the spot. My takeaway was that the only way to get a job without experience is to skip applying completely and just try to get an interview some other way.
How? Let's say that to find a job, you need to search for the posting, submit your basic information + transcript, and draft a short cover letter. If each of those things total only takes 1 hour (a relatively conservative estimate), that means you spent three thousand hours applying to jobs, or over 8 hours every day with no break for the entire year applying.
@@fukinyouup you don't need to do all that, I used job listing websites to create profiles and then the website just forwards the profile to the employer when you click apply. I did try putting more effort into each application at first, but when it didn't work I needed to broaden my scope.
@@meklowthelemur861 You don't have to wait for a job fair. When I was starting out, I asked a friend if he knew anyone who was hiring. He introduced me to someone who introduced me to someone else who introduced me to someone who was willing to give this new graduate a chance. Besides, at a job fair you're competing with everybody else at the job fair. If the employers know that there will be 200 applicants for 30 jobs, they tend to be pickier about who they hire. In a one-on-one you may still be a little fish but you're also in a much littler pond. Both methods work, I would suggest trying both and see which works best for your situation.
I am a gen Z and got my bachelor diploma last year. Rn I’m on my third job and I swear to god all of those jobs were given to me through connections/friends/relatives. I’m not sure if I would be able to get any of those jobs without connections Edit: guys I never said that it was my third job in a year. I started working at 19 while still studying in university. I’m 22 now and it’s been almost 3 years for me now And yes, my current job is much better now in terms of better work load and salary overall.
The world now only works if you know someone already positioned in the sector you are interested in. It was offered to me the position of manager of a hotel after a trial period and apprenticeship by family friends. And honestly I was just shocked that my mother was friends of the wife of a prominent regional politician in education who had offered to "help" me with my grades and pay for college and put in a good word with the teachers.
applied for a minimum wage job. The boss has a degree in Psych and a pastor at their church. i got rejected because "you care too much about your looks" and "you like to be the center of attention because you're dressed too nicely". like what? i was wearing slacks, polo shirt, and leather flat shoes. so kinda casual/semi-formal. not over-the-top, right? just fitting for a job interview i must say. he hired the ones just wearing jeans, baggy tshirt, and beat up sneakers. he wanted you to look like a bum before he hires you. 😂😂😂 PSA. they're a corporate company and hiring for a desk job 😅
I'm sorry but it's true. A lot of gen z is struggling right now. Some jobs actively exclude us for are portion of people with opposing political beliefs. That's fine ( it's not) but not all of us have that view. When are parents started jobs the population was a lot smaller. Now gen z has competition from an increased elder population. Along with food being record high. Please give us some slack guys, even people in the biology field (mine) are finding it hard as well.
And it didn’t help that Covid happened for Gen z during the vital years of college and doing internships to get work experience. So we’re literally stuck and older generations just tell us to “apply” and “a degree is all you need” no it’s not. Covid robbed us of job experience we could’ve had prior to graduating to which we could’ve secured a job
Hate to tell you, luv, but biology went south when 70s women started getting to attend college and eventually getting jobs beyond secretary. Companies knew women were better students than men and were grateful for "real" jobs so they got paid less. Biology was a favorite degree among women, so they moved into the field. As they did, men began to feel biology couldn't be a career for a man if "WOMEN" could do it. So they left. Eventually, women took over the field. Same w medicine. It took lots of fighting and lawsuits and good dads for girls to break into med school, but eventually they did, and became dominant in that field too. The only thing I think y'all missed in your schooling was the history of modern times! (And the courses that teach you how to think, like eastern and western philosophy). But students screamed that they wanted more tech and that some classes were worthless and they got their way.😂❤
I’ve been experiencing this & so is my ex. We both are educated & have specific skills & experience but can’t find jobs in our fields. But also can’t get hired anywhere else bc they say we’re overqualified. I pry applied to 150+ jobs over the course of a month & did follow up calls etc, got 0 call backs. Even grocery store night stocking & pizza delivery. Now In the last week, I’ve had more interviews than the past 2 months altogether, & I’ve had 3 job offers all within 48 hrs. I didn’t do anything different, I jus didn’t give up.
At 18 I tried to get a job at citi trends (a clothing store for those who never heard of it.) and I was denied because despite them having a hiring sign, they said they weren't hiring anymore. I came back up their about a week later and a new girl was working there. I asked her were they hiring and she said her friend is also about to be working there in a few weeks. They were only hiring their friends and family members. Irritated me to the core because they made me do the run around before saying they weren't hiring. 😒 I didn't even have a college degree. And multiple jobs close to me was doing the same thing. The only job I did get a call back from was fast food. Which they were paying 11$ for where I live. Finally got a job at family dollar and it was in a dangerous location that had regular shoot outs. All for 10$ an hour. Quit after 4 months because on top of the violent area, my co workers forged my name on paperwork and would pocket extra money from the register and told me I couldn't.
That's just like Luxembourg, you only get a job if you know someone who knows someone or else you're cannon fodder in the ghettos. Richest country in the world my 🍑
Go apply for temporary Staffing agencies. Tell them you are available for both temporary as well as temp-to-hire jobs. Then, take any job they give you! It not only builds your skills but it also exposes you to many different industries. Signed, A former Staffing Manager 😉
LMAO!! So true! It has ALWAYS been: "A sheet of paper that says you have the ability to learn" THATS IT! Nothing more, nothing less. College has been a scam for decades. They ONLY exsist because the country knew it could force people into college because "Companies" are too lazy to teach etc, etc. I could go on for about a full day about much of a scam it is and how she got scammed. ALWAYS!! Remember ladies and gentle fish! "America was NEVER a country or nation, it is a corporation!!" Congratulations!!! You bought paper for thousands of dollars!
This going to be harsh. As of the 90s, corporations don't want "employees" they want "workers." There's a VERY BIG difference. Figure that out and you'll be well on ur way. PS; With AI here, it will get worse...get SKILLS.
Good point. Everything is a 1 way street with big organizations. They treat you like a number and do everything possible to make you uncomfortable then cry that people don't stay long and it wastes their time. That's called, wanting something for free.
Only reason why I got hired as a "waiter" in a snobby high class restaurant in a country I cannot speak the language, and an HR officer for a company overseas is because I knew a guy who knew a guy. Sometimes CVs are absolutely useless and it all comes down to connections. And I can attest that some companies and their HR just sit around get paid for scratching their bum. To they point it's just me and the CMO contacting and conducting hundreds of interviews for potential candidates. Many of these guys dont even read what you submit online. Better off searching for a job in person.
As an employer, I probably wouldn't hire either 1. A person walking around with a camera in their face is already a telltale sign of what kind of person I can expect. I imagine someone outspoken & seeks out drama, not ideal for a quiet and peaceful work relationship 2. Overqualified applicants applying for minimum wage jobs will not stay long, or they're doing it for clout 3. Sometimes there's simply no vacancy, simple as that
I lost a full time job at a hotel due to nepotism. I got a job at a Target. This Target didn't give anyone more than 20 hours a week. I was lucky to get 12. I couldn't get a job at any other hotels. I was desperate and was able to get evicted. I went to my parents house and printed 100 resumes. I was about to stand on the corner of an off ramp with a sign saying "I need a full time job, not a handout. I have a resume". I get back to my apartment and my phone rings. It's a hotel I applied at. They told me the position was already filled but one of their sister properties was hiring for the position I applied for. They asked if it was okay to forward my application and resume to them. I said yes. I got the job and was there for six years before going to another hotel.
Nepotism exists especially hard at hotel jobs. I've worked at several and somehow the director will have family members underneath them working and they tend to get most of the hours and usually are lazy as fuck.
My older sister studied for years to get her master bachelors etc only to be told when she went to apply for jobs in places the suit her resume that she's overqualified and they can't pay her her worth. She currently works as a cashier.
“Overqualified” means “we want you stay for several years and not ask for a raise so that we don’t then have to hire a new person” or “we are not hiring we just wanted offer ghost jobs to increase profit”
I met quite a few people with a degree having to work in a retail environment because they can’t find employers who will hire them, it’s honestly a joke
There a lot of people saying she playing the victim but it’s honestly our society failing her and a lot of younger people. Gen Z has been told by older generations that they need to focus on school and after college they’ll get a career and job. But we saw what happen to millennials and they were sold this falsehood on college and are still paying debts for 30+ years. It’s honestly just so unlivable nowadays. It’s making so many people miserable and even if you get said job it’s not a wage you can thrive off of the pay given is just enough to scrap by unfortunately EDIT: Dam I posted this comment 2 weeks ago and people are still fighting in here 🙃 ALSO let’s just understand that we don’t really understand anything. We don’t know the whole story and she just wanted to vent her frustrations online. It’s hard nowadays and everyone is living different lives. If there was an easily solution everyone wouldn’t have to worry in life but unfortunately this is how things are. I hope she was able to find a job and I hope people on here will be more understanding to one another. Some people can’t work, go to school, start a family, or move to a better place at certain times in their lives. Just do what you gotta go for yourselves and be happy
No she failed herself, society didn’t do anything to her, jobs expect you to work before your college degree, 14-18 you can work bud, there’s literally no excuse
And honestly who the fuck applies in person anymore, they expect you to apply online, they literally tell you this, if she’s truly Gen Z, then she would use her brain. It’s not that hard.
@@itsjodi9939 idk why you’re so mad. Yea a lot of 14-18 year olds work but not all. Everyone is living different lives and we don’t know what’s she’s been thru. All we know is that she has 2 college degrees and she put alot of work and dedication she put into that accomplishment. And many older generations always push for college but younger generations are just accumulate this debt for pursing their education. This system isn’t working anymore if going to school doesn’t benefit the the hardships of college. And even when you do apply online most companies don’t look through all their applicants or they just push off looking thru. And even though online says they’re hiring but actuality is that they aren’t. You’d be surprise how many companies just keep up their job listings online just cause.
@itsjodi9939 Hey bud chilllll Applying online doesn't do anything (depending on where you live). I have been unemployed since I was 16 because I tried applying online and there hasn't been any callbacks. Because of that I put my focus on studying, but even the jobs I have had interviews have rejected me because of my school schedule. After I got a car I finally have been going FACE TO FACE and putting my resume out there. I've had managers tell me the website has the positions open even when they're not hiring online, they also DONT check it. It's frustrating as hell. Luckily for me I wasn't in dire need of money, but imagine a person who desperately need it and can't find it until months later. (Edit) I now have a job at starbucks as my first job and it's thanks to having connections that can put a good word for me.
I understand you. I was rejected in many jobs because I was overqualified or underqualified because of holding 2 masters degree. I got a job at the end of last year but also got in PhD so I'm pursuing full time PhD now. I don't want to stay in middle so better climb higher ❤
maybe people think you like to study not to work as 2 masters and phd in a row is not very good. As life goes, you become 30 with 3 degrees with no work experience and get out of the market. Degrees should be done while you are working not instead of work
To the people feeling like failures, you didnt fail. You did everything they told you to do, go to school, get god grades, you’ll get a degree and a better job. Again, you didnt fail, the system failed you.
But wallowing in misery that the system failed isnt gona help anyone. People gota look for the cracks in the walls they sealed us in. I have my own convictions ive invested in.
@@lemonscentedgames3641 I’m not telling anyone to wallow in it. I am stating that the system is a failure. I am pointing the blame at the system and not at an individual. It is very easy for us to fall into depression etc. if we keep listening to a system that deflects its failures onto us and tells us we are the reason for our failures. The purpose of my post is to help those see that it is the system and since we know it is the system, we can work together to create a system that is much more fair to all of us.
@@lemonscentedgames3641 I am not advocating that anyone wallow in misery. I am saying that the system is good at deflecting its failures onto us, which in turn, makes us feel like failures. Since we know it is the system, then we can work together to change it.
@@quartzking3997well there definitely a little bit of nonsense going on to. I’ve been telling people for years this economy is actually being artificially held together in reality capitalist imperialism has hit a wall there’s no bouncing back unless there’s a war economy This will produce odd effects. Companies that complain and won’t hire and workers who complain and won’t work.
The places crying that are blue collar and labor places, not a cushy starbucks or mcdonalds that most genz people apply to. The number of people willing to do manual labor is getting smaller.
Seriously. I tried this once too. The manager said he appreciates me coming in a suit to meet him and all, but I need to apply through their website. Went home, did some research, applied, and got the job lol.
Sure but nowadays most companies dont want to be bothered with spontaneous applications either in person, over phone or e-mail. Showing up unexpectedly for a job that isnt advertised isnt going to get you a job for the most part
Are we supposed to get a job after 1 to 3 tries? Let's have more grit and resiliency. What we need to acknowledge in life is that not Everything has instant solution. I was rejected 10 times but I now have a good career, working for 13 yrs in the same company with Great benefits. The point is to stop making these unrealistic expectations in life that when we apply 1-3 times then we should be easily hired. That's not how things work, generally speaking. In my case I applied thru newspaper hiring mostly.
@@corinnekae1736We should also stop assuming that they only tried 1-3 times and felt defeated. Did it ever occur to you that there are more people in existence than there are job openings? At some point there are going to be people left out of a job. But that's a conversation I'm pretty sure you're not ready for. You don't know how many applications they've put out.
@smpiano6605 you don't know anything from this video either. This is a "failed influencer." They're paid to lie to you and sell a fallacy, not to give their honest experience. And you remain fooled every time.
When I needed quick work I left my masters degrees off of my resume and left out job duties or complete positions off so I wouldn’t be seen as overqualified for the position. It worked all three times I needed to get a quick job. One position I worked on the side for three years I left both masters degrees and fifteen years experience to get the job. It was a 3 day a week job working the night shifts in a hospital unit. When I got there they were being sent to bed and when I left they were getting up. I got paid $30 an hour to make sure people stayed in their rooms and took their medications. It didn’t hurt my pride.
Well their point is not that people refuse to work. It’s that people refuse to work for the same wage as Indians. And they don’t hire because they can’t really afford it either (small businesses)
They're hiring, but they're a corpulent lazy boomer who won't get around to trying to hire in earnest until months after the promising candidates have moved on. Then they'll drag feet even longer before calling the person they don't want due to their deluded expectations.
Wtf are her degrees in acting and communications going to do? She literally wasted her money or her parents money. All these women saying the future in education is women. Don’t understand that women are getting mostly liberal arts degrees and woke bs. The only valuable degree women get overwhelmingly is nursing Men build most things everyone uses
I am recent graduate in Japan, and I speak three languages. Yes, I applied to a boba tea shop and got rejected a few weeks ago lol I’ll never give up tho. We can do it, my friend!!
I see that as plus. Japan's tourism industry is huge, having bilingual people in many positions from retail to entertainment, any customer base jobs is good, to make customers from other countries have an easier experience when they visit.

“Sorry we have not chosen you. The other candidate has 20 years of working as Pepsi’s CEO, won the Medal of Honor, and had 20 years of experience before they were born.” - Rejection letter from a Wendys
The thing I hate with companies when they post job openings is when you apply and get a rejection email saying they’re moving on with other candidates, a week or two later they repost the job openings.
Sometimes they just post in order to tell the government that they can't find qualified US workers, so they need to hire foreigners on H-1b work visas.
@jordanrichards320 No but at least don't lie and tell me why I didn't get the job only to keep seeing the same job posting for months on end. I'd rather get a "we just think you would suck" than that fake bull
It’s getting wild out here. Ppl with multiple skills, talents and qualifications can’t find reliable work and folks are constantly getting laid off from their jobs.
I would recommend lowering down her studies. I did that after struggling to find a job and needed some money until I found the correct job. You can leave it as you still studying or only your high school degree and the languages you speak. Sound unrealistic but it works. As someone commented you are overqualified and if you don't try to find a job outside your country or at least city, you need to adapt your CV to the job you are applying to.
It is struggle not only gen z suffered. As a millennial it was the same, and as she said it it was humbling and now I see it as a good lesson. The issue is that minimum wage won’t hire her because she is over qualified and the jobs for which she is, won’t either because she has not working experience. So, it is… terrible. And the society failing big time.
One of the big mistakes parents make is not getting their highschool kids to start working minimum wage after school jobs. When you walk in at 22, with no real work experience, but a fancy degree that makes you overqualified, you are basically a risk for inflated expectations, poor work ethic, and constant complaints about the job being beneath you (it's a pre-judgement, but it is understandable from an employer perspective). When you have been working nearly a decade at minimum wage jobs, employers can see that you know what to expect and they know you have real world experience, and they can call old jobs and find out whether you sucked. Then, the going to school makes you look like a driven person with goals. Much less of a risk all around for the employer. It also means you can work through highschool and university, at least part time, and have that reasonably safe position of already working while you look for a career position in your chosen field - it's a much less desperate situation. It also gives you the experience to make tailored resumes. For a low-skilled job outside your education, you can use a resume with just your work experience and escape the "over qualified" trap. But then you can have a resume that shows work experience AND education in order to try to break into your field. These poor kids have not been properly prepared. As a Millenial, I feel for them - they were lied to just as much as we were, but in an even MORE hostile and bizarre job market.

Family business goes circle jerking around and when there is a time where no family members wanna continue the family business, they hire outsiders and thats the end. Also, family members that work in their family business don't treat their work fully as though they were employed by employers they don't know. So their tendency to slack is even more in family business. To me, family business pampers u till you can't survive what it takes to have a job with no relationships involved.
Things are so hard for young people. My son was out of work for 6 months. He just got a job he will be making MacDonald’s hourly rate. I want to tell this young lady that I totally understand her pain 💔.
When I applied for jobs, I was told that I was overqualified, underqualified or they are not looking for someone like me. That last one threw me for a loop! My last name is Williams and they either think I'm black or assume I'm married to a black man. With a comment like that, how would you feel or what would you think??? Why do some companies make assumptions like that??? When people asked me what my name is, then I told them, they always gave me this uncomfortable look. Some of them, as soon as I walked away, thinking I didn't see them, tossed my application and my resume in the trash can! Wow!! That was rude!! I put in over 100 applications in and those were the excuses I got on why they wouldn't hire me or even just have me come in for an interview! I'm over it now. I do my own thing now. I'm 62 and I make quilts and crafts. Oh, did I mention that some jobs age discriminate??? I've had some of them as me my age and they give me a weird look and say "Really???" I don't look my age. Then they'd say "We'll get back to you." They never did. I have even called them and that's when I'd get one of the answers I mentioned above.
I’m 22 years old and a black women. I have been struggling so much to find a job. I also started doing my own thing as well because the system is so broken I cannot take it anymore. I feel demoralized….
I can't say I've seen any employers behave like that. I have however seen employers make an immediate decision based on first impressions. If they're getting the feeling that all they'll ever get out of an applicant is endless HR paperwork, random call outs, and low productivity they'll never bat an eye about showing you the door. Literally, qualifications are only about 20% of what a company looks at. Work history will easily tell them how likely you are to be an asset or liability. How respectful and dignified you present yourself during an interview is just what seals the deal.
I was about to ask why they’d care so much if you were married to a black man until I read that you’re 62… that’s so messed up. On another note, I guess I just learned that Williams is a typically black surname?? Anyways, I’d say I’m glad that we’ve moved beyond this kind of BS racism but really all we’ve moved on from is them telling you to your face that it’s the reason they won’t hire you :(
As a millennial who graduated during the great recession, I completely understand what she’s going through. My advice is, if you do want to get a minimum wage job, do not put that you have 2 degrees because you will be considered overqualified and they’re not gonna give it to you because they know you’re not gonna stay there. If you’d rather aim higher, that has more earning potential, my advice would be to seek a commission based job where there is high turnover. it probably isn’t going to be what you want but it’s a good way to get your foot in the door in terms of work experience, and often times they’ll still offer a base salary that will be higher than minimum wage. That’s how I started in my industry. They are always needing sales people. And if you’re good at it, you can make a lot of money but more often than not, most people won’t be great at it so you won’t make a lot but at least it will get you a paycheck. Also, since she speaks three languages, I would recommend that she does language tutoring or help teach as a side hustle who knows maybe it will take off
Exactly!! She would be a great receptionist at a doctors office in a touristy town where knowing languages comes in handy for example. She is naive is the problem.
Your long "analysis" is very oversimplified, much easier said than done. Everything is difficult and will only get worse, due to tech taking over jobs and due to overpopulation.
I graduated high school during the recession and lived in a town of 13,000 people. The military wouldn't take me cause of back problems, so the only option I had left after being rejected for everything else available was to turn to crime. I ended up becoming a very successful drug dealer but in the end came with it's own share of hell that I wished I was never a part of. So if I were in her position again I'd say it would be tempting to just become a criminal all over again.
It was unique until it was basically required if you want to be paid enough to live. In 40 years when everyone’s being told to go into apprenticeships and skilled labor, there’ll be an oversaturation of fields and we’ll be right back where we started.
I wouldn't hire someone who needs to pay off 10,000 dollars and spends most of her nights drinking like college frat kids. That sounds like bad attendance and bad attitude. Then she'll want to vouch for her rotten friends to work at my place. No thanks. Her voice oozes alcohol and dead brain cells
@@Eeppydeepy we need more electricians than psychologists. It is much harder to saturate a field that is required everywhere in the world all the time than it is to saturate an already niche profession that heavily favors tenure. just because a uni offers it doesn't mean it is good for you, it's what many people fail to realize
@@nsfshdfgj to be fair, he might have a point. just go to any third world countries, electricians are basically considered labourers. it is indeed possible to saturate these jobs as well.
@@nvmttthat has nothing to do with the jobs being saturated, it's just that their economies suck altogether. i come from one, here no matter what you do it is hard to get a job and the pay sucks always.
Not the whole story. She also filmed herself in job interviews etc, without this companies knowledge etc, there was backlash regarding her. She is quite unprofessional.
She's overqualified for what she's applying for but an entry level job requires 5 year's experience anymore... wtf is happening out here. And yet we're called "lazy" and "unwilling to work or sacrifice" smh wtf Also applying for jobs is annoying as hell anymore. The amount of times I've simply asked if the location was hiring only to be told "you have to check online we don't take paper applications anymore" and then applying for the job is a hell process
Employers want to pay less to employees but at the same time need employees to know their shit well so they wouldn't need to waste any training time on them. TLDR: Employers wants maximum revenue input, but minimum salary output. Which is stupid.
That's me exactly. 2 university degrees, speaking 3 languages fluently. Couldn't find a job at all. I've been working in restaurants as a waitress all my life, lost my job last year, then haven't been able to find a waitress job for half a year. Finally found something in one of the restaurants, hopefully will be able to pay my rent and my bills at least. However, 10+ years spent in universities turned out to be a complete waste of time and money.
Her 2 degrees are in practically in under water basket weaving!! She should have considered how she was going to feed herself before picking a major!!!😎✌🏽
My dad always said "don't rely too much on your studies to get a job because not all of your hardworking studies are not going to be used in the career you wanted have, because companies look people who are SKILLED and not people who became top 1 in their universities", not saying don't study at all it is good to have a degree it is important in the company you are applying to but it is also important that you have skills(something you're good at) that the company will depend on
It’s better to understand, that firstly you need to know where to start, go to companies who are willingly giving work while teaching you (building talent and skills) some companies say all sorts of shit but at the end all their employees aren’t trained there.
I agree... ppl who don't do anything on job getting recognition while ppl who went to school for education get zero recognition, are jobless, and under wages.
When I was in trade school (commercial driving), one of my instructors gave us a whole bunch of tips on not only how to get the license, but how to profit from it. It wasn’t part of his job, either-he was just a super chill dude looking out for us because he could. I distinctly remember him saying “The less work you do, the more you make for it.”
@@NeotheaterrIt’s a supply issue. If I own a business and only have the ability to hire and pay 10 employees while 100 people apply, 90% aren’t getting jobs. If anything it’s the newer generations fault. It sounds cliche but you really do have to pick yourself up by the bootstraps. Young people are statistically less interested in starting businesses, and it’s understandable why. With the current economy, stability is an important necessity for most people. But guess what? There aren’t enough jobs to provide stability for most people. The only way to provide opportunities and to younger generations is to start businesses. This will also cause a lot of the wealth to start floating back down to younger generations and away from old rich people. Either that or go to college for a long time to get a professional degree. Sucks that those are the only two options but survival isn’t friendly. Young people at some point have to take control, and they have been. Millennials are the generation with the most amount of independent contractor tax returns. Which is ironic because with 1099 tax forms, there are a lot of jobs but few stable jobs.
Going to school doesn't mean you worked harder or deserve a job more than those that didn't. It just means you spent a bunch of money and made a bad investment.
Just today I was out for 3 hours, I went to about 30 places and only six took my resume and of those six five of them said that they weren't tiring right now no other places wanted to even take my resume. I have applied to over 500 different places over the course of four months and I've only gotten three interviews. Two of them were extremely unprofessional and rushed. The job market today is absolutely terrible. Something needs to change
So youre walking into places and asking for unscheduled interviews and you're confused why they're rushed and "unprofessional"? Go online to find jobs so you can see who's actually hiring
people need to start to realize that you shouldn't pay for a degree. you should pay for the connections and networks that university offers. that paper won't get you squat - but the connections you make at university will get you everything.
The job market is dog shit at the moment. It has been since I started my job search. I applied for dozens of places after I turned 18, 0 job experience and just wanting something. I mever got one interview. I was even rejected from McDonald's. Twice. In the middle of the pandemic when my local McDonalds and been basically begging people to apply because they had 4 total employees. And they still didn't think I was worth even an interview.
Go apply for temporary Staffing agencies. Tell them you are available for both temporary as well as temp-to-hire jobs. Then, take any job they give you! It not only builds your skills but it also exposes you to many different industries. Signed, A former Staffing Manager 😉
Actually I have never seen the job market any different from this, and I have been in it for decades now. Just got one good job once, and have been scrambling to hang onto it ever since.
1) apply online, don't just hand your resume to someone and expect anything 2) don't put college degrees on resume. People don't want overqualified employees who either think they're too good to work hard, or will leave for a better job after a week Do this and you'll get 10 offers for minimum wage jobs by the end of the day
Exactly. Mass applying is rarely ever effective. In order to get job offers, one must tailor their resumes and CVs based on the job description and company they're applying for. They must be able to communicate well enough to make a good impression to the hiring maangers.
@@NASCAR_JunkYeah, I’m pretty sure the guy didn’t say to just mass apply online to hundreds of places and seeing what sticks. You have to search for a specific job, tailer your resume/cv towards it which explains why you’re the ideal candidate, and then apply. 1 well thought out and good application, is better than 100 poorly thought out and desperate applications.
Girl, now you realize just because you graduated two degrees in college doesnt always get you a job. It depends on the degree you graduated if it's useful and in demand. If it's Communications degree the White House only need one spokesperson, or one speaker 😅😅😅.
I've been told just apply to McDonald's or other fast food they are always hiring... I've been rejected from Taco Bell 3x, McDonald's 2x, Panda Express, Wendy's 2x, Applebee's (i know not technically fast food...), and many more... It's devastating to be told they hire anyone, except for you.
