It's real easy to judge the quality of someone else's glass of water if you don't have to drink it.
You are out of touch. Go try to land a position and report back to us how your winning personality and firm handshake got you the job.
And yet you were not able to explain what the real problem is. Go ahead and please tell me. As I and all my social contacts do not have that issue, I can only end up guessing.
But what I know is the view of HR. Seeing that 95% of all applications land in garbage, because it is so utterly obvious this person did not even remotely read the job description. Having 2 Master degrees does not change this.
Maybe HR should try reading the job description too, then maybe they'd realize it's impossible to have 35 years experience with dotnet core.
If the company isn't going to take honesty in writing the requirements seriously, why would the applicants bother when applying?
What is your field? Maybe yours is wildly in demand.
sounds like you never applied online, pre-covid you would pretty much spending a fulltime jobs worth of time applying , first you have to craft your resume, cover letter for that job each time. you are probably making stuff up. if you are going for min wage jobs, you can expect an offer very quickly, because they are often desperate for workers.
try doing this in stem, or a masters level field. i have tracked people through linkedin from my college, and they take a long time to find a job even with experience, one person i was noticing was lying about his experiencing.
I had 4 jobs the past 6 years, all on senior level in a technical field. All of them AI or space industry.
I usually don’t apply at all and if I do, I use rezi.ai.
Now I switch to my own company, cause I am annoyed by all the employer/hr bullshit.
