No one wants to work anymore

If I had a nickel for every boomer who bought a $40K house in 1994 with three raspberries and part time job at the hardware store, who now preach about work ethic.......


For those job searching or have recently landed roles... what are you seeing?


Is personal brand the new resume? I don't want to start a podcast or monthly newsletter ๐Ÿซ

It's been rough out there for a few years now. No longer is it a mutual relationship of 'I need a job, you're hiring, let's do this'.
It seems now that you have to put on this dog and pony show just to even get the attention of a hiring manager. Your skills/education don't seem to even get your foot in the door anymore.

I don't want to write free fan fiction about your company in a cover letter, I want a fucking JOB.

FFS it used to be "why are you qualified for this role" now it's "why do you deserve to breathe our air"

I had a recruiter reach out to me and said I was a great fit for the AE role they were hiring for. But that to be considered I'd have to fill out their job application, and the first question on the application was "why are you a good fit for this role?"

A circle jerk of the same performative crap. It's just diluting the actual quality pieces of content and cranking out crap for the sake of crap.

100%. I often refer to LI as a 'circle jerk' - so accurate.

Usually I sound like the grumpy old man shouting "get off my lawn", but not this time.
"Nobody wants to work anymore", "nobody has a work ethic", "kids are lazy these days". All statements that every generations says about the one underneath them.
We have 3& GDP growth, sub 4% unemployment and more teenagers are working part time jobs than in the last 50 years.
Maybe people just don't want to work for you?

she cooked with this post only thing she missed is theres a 40% chance that post on the job board is for a job that doesnt exist and they just want to collect resumes for a rainy day
I pray for anyone looking for a job right now this is the worst job market of my relatively short tenure
