I have 8 YEARS OF ADMINISTRATIVE EXPERIENCE, CUSTOMER SERVICE, & A BACHELOR'S DEGREE, but because it's not HIGH-LEVEL EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT EXPERIENCE, I can't be considered for the job?! I didn't even get an opportunity to interview for the job for crying out loud!That is 1,000% insane. These companies are freaking insane, unreasonable, unrealistic, & ridiculous. Whatever happened to training someone & giving them an opportunity to get in the floor & learn more? I could see if I had ZERO experience, but I do have some! These morons are looking for the PERFECT PERSON & that just doesn't exist!
Like wth is wrong with these jerks out here?! I have been looking for a decent, stable job that is nontoxic & permanent w/benefits for several months now & its so despicable how they treat candidates/job seekers (such as myself) who actually want to work. Recruiters constantly turn me down criticizing my short term experiences at jobs & tell me how "the client probably won't consider you because you have too many short stints on your resume." Clearly, the jobs were CONTRACT JOBS, you idiot. When they aren't doing that, they just ghost me. How professional.
I'm convinced that these Recruiters are untrained, incompetent people who just get handed jobs with no experience.
I'm so over this freaking job market dude. I spend several hours tailoring my resume TO EACH, INDIVIDUAL JOB DESCRIPTION & applying for jobs only to be sent a rejection email less than 48 hours later or a week later--or sometimes NOTHING at all! I message hiring managers, Vice Presidents, & recruiters on LinkedIn to follow up after applying for jobs & nothing.
I just want to be independent, move in to my own place out of my bf's house, pay my student loans back, & SURVIVE out here. I feel so stuck right now. I'm not getting a raise/promotion or growing and thriving in my current job, plus it's SUPER TOXIC where I work.
Why the hell do these insane employers have to make our lives so freaking miserable?!! Something better has to come thru soon because I am at my wit's end!!
And they want all this for 20 bucks an hour
