I hear a lot of people aren’t getting any response when applying for jobs. but being on the other end of it, I feel like the opposite is true. We get ghosted all the time from applicants. Why apply for a job? If you have no interest in being there is it to fulfill unemployment? if that’s the case and you apply and don’t respond then you’ve just basically made yourself in eligible. if they ever find out, you owe a lot of unemployment back to the state you live in it doesn’t make sense to me

Probably because they found out the pay was too low, or the work culture seemed toxic

i hear this feedback often

Honestly it’s hard to keep track these days when you need to send out dozens-hundreds of applications to get just a single bite. I sometimes get a request for a phone screen for a job I don’t remember applying to. I reread the description and I find myself asking why I even applied in the first place.

Unemployment will never measure up to the amount of money you can make while actually having a job. I would think MOST people would take the opportunity to have a job, rather than stay unemployed.

But I’m surprised to hear that employers get ghosted. Qualified and experienced candidates don’t ghost. Maybe you are looking at low level or entry level who don’t have experience in the job market and don’t know how to act lol.

Portland OR, and he makes as much as he did working full time. More after door dash.

Spent the pandemic working on myself, got sober, focused on working out, left the music industry and started a career where I can make money and have a steady work schedule. Maybe this isn’t everyone’s version of “growing up” but that’s what this was for me. Now that I’m vaxed and seeing my friends, it’s clear we have little left in common, and honestly a lot of the things they do straight up embarrasses me. I don’t want to lose these long term friends. Has anyone else been in this situation?

Any and all advice appreciated.
