There's a lot of BS associated with job searching. The few that I find infuriating personally are having to spend the time making the resume stick out in these bullbubblegum algorithms just to get a human to see the damn thing and in the end, is a crap shoot.
Next, the lack of follow up with firms after applications and/or interviews have been completed, and in some cases, they don't want people to follow up at all and then we have to hope there's some kind of resolution in a reasonable amount of time. If I do follow up, some of these people sound pissed like I'm asking them to go shoot their dog.
Of course we can't forget applying for gigs that have already been filled, so you just wasted precious time as a result. I should make a special mention at gigs with multiple interviews as in why do multiple interviews? Can't see I'm the right fit in one?
Also, why do some HR people use this jargon when they can't just be more direct with me and say we got someone and good luck so I know not to waste more time.
Finally, for veterans like myself, it would be nice if we didn't have to keep fighting this human factor in this society bent on college degrees like it's the be all, end all. We wear many hats and have experiences that college can't provide in many respects.
For our Vietnam veterans, welcome home.
