If you are applying for an admin job in a small company you need to demonstrate you know how to use a computer / technology . So gaming or watching netflix would be a suitable hobby.

I even applied for math teacher jobs. I think people are just really stupid and bad at their jobs by default. This is especially true in the hiring department.

The worst is when a company claims to be desperate for workers, but then turns someone away for being “over qualified”. You can’t be desperate if you’re willing to turn someone away for being “too good” for the job. 😅

The only work she’s been able to find has either been temp work or me being able to find her spots wherever I may be working at the time just to help keep her afloat.

That is absolutely the truth for many businesses. The company I work for has been under seriously understaffed for more than 2 years now. We have been working with a skeleton crew and the owners don’t really seem to want to change anything. Why would they pay 10 people to do a job when 3 people are doing it? We are stretched beyond thin and the only ones suffering from this labor shortage are those of us who do the work of multiple people. The owners are reaping the rewards of our hard work by lining their pockets with the money that should be going into payroll. Why stay? Because we have mouths to feed and mortgages to pay. And as this video demonstrated despite the number of help wanted signs/ads out there the actual jobs don’t really seem to exist.

Saturday’s and Fridays and every week day was not enough and they needed me to quit my other job. Then my car broke down in the parking lot and my dad refused to send a tow truck and I had $30 in my bank account and couldn’t repair it.

Well not all jobs are. I actually left my previous job because literally no one was applying and anyone that did they left in days or weeks after being hired. I was at my previous job for 13 years. We've never had a hiring issue previously. It's slowly gotten worse. The company is a contracted out cleaning service and we had roughly 250-300 people, might've been more than that but I know the president of our company, Tim, started out at the bottom of the company and worked his way up. He never wanted ownership of the business. It's just not his thing. He never outright told me directly but spoke with several managers about how he wanted to step away from it. At this point he'd been president 7+ years and just this last year, we merged with a company that was essentially an umbrella style corporation for contracted out services for schools. It was a smart business move. In the last year though, Tim didn't do as much to solve any problems with the company nor did he really push to hold any employees. We had employees that stuck with the company for over 30 years. Many left because they saw how much the company stopped caring and didn't hold employees accountable. We recently found an employee smoking in the school and no one fired them. We found several cigarettes and ash everywhere for months. Tried reporting it and nothing happened. The company managers are too afraid to fire anyone because no one currently wants to come into the company so they're stuck with shitty employees that do this. Tim has since left the company. This was his last year and he found another president to step up within the new company. They tried so hard to keep so many employees but tried way too late. I have years of problems with this old job but I stuck with it because I couldn't find anything better. I ended up finding a new job that was not only 10 minutes away from our house but it was also a $5/hr pay increase. It's zero stress and absolutely lovely to go into work every day. I now sew leather motorcycle bags. It was the best decision I've ever made.

Instead they hold out for candidates that look great on paper, but have no guarantee of success when it comes to more critical non-specific skills like communication, problem-solving, critical-thinking, curiosity, and the drive to learn.

Why would you work for a company when you can contract yourself for the actual cost of labour, and avoid that whole hiring process altogether.

@@fucku368 there are a lot of reasons why self-employment is not always feasible. One major reason being…get this…capitalism. Entities that can afford to charge less can push competitors out of business and then raise prices back again. Payment procurement can be difficult in self employment. Employers match social security and often times retirement contributions. Our system is set up for us to be reliant on steady wages. Though some do start their own venture or keep a fake face enough to climb ranks, it isn’t common. The American Dream is dead. There’s less class mobility than ever.

Sometimes the problem is that companies don't want to bother to help train and teach new employees. The grocery store I work at, we finally got a new cashier, who only learned the register for like a day and half; or rather, watched how it's done, and tried it out for maybe 20-ish minutes at most with the other cashier next to her; and has admitted she's still not comfortable being 100% on her own. But management can't be bothered with that, and there are days when I see her just bagging. God forbid that someone needs more time to absorb and process everything. Especially when they want to learn and when the store needs more help.

My daughter’s friend had the same experience. He is an armed guard but wanted something different. He applied to a bunch of help wanted companies. He even applied to entry level positions because if it’s a good company than there is advancement opportunity. In the 30 days he applied not one call or interview. Just bizarre.

One time, a job opening asked for 8+ years of programming experience in the language "Swift". At the time, Swift was only 3 years old. Some employers have no idea what they are doing when it comes to recruiting.

What the rich people are saying right now is that the poor entry level people are too lazy to work right now, which is causing many positions to remain open. However this news report shows that that might not be true if businesses are turning down more than qualified candidates. Honestly I think subpar, slow customer service due to having very few employees is going to be the new norm (and by that I mean it’s gonna be worse than before). Get your customers acclimated with poor quality service, hire less people, save money while still earning profits. At least that’s my theory.

What i experience as an employer is an abundance of people who are only filling out applications to keep their extended unemployment benefits rolling in, and if they've already been kicked off the government doll they will only work long enough to be eligible for unemployment again then they quit and get back on unemployment. The unemployment offices are so backed up that employers can't even get through to file a rebuttal before these people are approved to sit on their asses on the tax payers dime. I know there's good people that just want to work, but they're really hard to find.

This is November 2023, this video is October 2021. Been going on a long time.

Walmart wouldn't even hire me for stocking the shelves. They had over 10 positions available and were hurting for help. They wouldn't even let me come in and do an interview, they just said to do it online. Wasted like 45 minutes just for the application to say that it was thrown out before anyone even looked at it. Then it tells me to try again in seven months. So, essentially, they told me to lie because they don't want honest workers to handle the goods. Ridiculous.

FINALLY A REPORT ON THIS! How can Walmart say you aren't qualified when you clearly just came from working the exact same store only red (Target)

I understand. When I apply, I don't hear from them. When I do hear from them, I get a job interview and like always I get rejected. Now I'm unemployed for a year. I was once unemployed for 3 years, not hearing from them and like always getting rejected. It's extremely rare that I get the job, it's almost impossible. If there was no job interview, I would have gotten a job a long time ago. Job interviews to me are a waste of time. The "NOW HIRING" sign is a lie.

I once worked at a restaurant where they never removed the now hiring sign . It stayed there 24/7, wether they were hiring or not .

My company has had a now hiring sign in front of each of our storefronts since September. We are in desperate need of people and haven't seen any. When asked about where the help is all management says is no one is applying. All of us employees know people who have applied and have not received callbacks. I knew something wasn't right with this all along and now I see this story. For whatever the reason, companies are not trying to hire. And it's ridiculous, they are working the people they have to death.

You answered your own question there at the end. Why hire more people, when a skeleton crew of three or four can do the jobs of 6 people? Under pay them, over work them, profit from them. Employees should do a bit of malicious compliance, understand their job description, rights, and ask for appropriate pay, dont do anything outside the job description, thats a good way to get help, is by all employees being on the same page, demanding extra help. Its easier said than done I know, but its a nice thought if such a case was possible.

How is that different than other labor? I’m pretty sure society would fall apart without skilled workers too. Being an unskilled worker does not mean you are special. It means you have put minimal effort into your personal development, and are therefore easily replaceable. I am not saying everyone should be a doctor. For example, my dad went back to school in his 30’s for machining. He has had an excellent job for the past 10 years. However, he and half the company was recently let go. Initially I was worried for him, but you would not believe the amount of companies that were literally chasing him down. I imagine there is more happening behind the scene. As a long term labor supply shortage is coming to an end, an abnormally high amount of people are applying for the same jobs at the same time. Meaning that supply is up, and it’s harder to get a job. Especially if you don’t speak English well like this lady.

She then told me they were looking for someone with at least five years of management experience and a management degree. I laughed in her face and said "you sell teddy bears with dicks in a mall.

Based on how the applicant would answer the question they would be put in categories of green, yellow, and red. At the store level we were not even allowed to interview applicants that scored in the red. You litterally could not even pull up the interview or hiring paperwork for someone in the red.

One place advertises "DESPERATELY NEED HELP!" but refuses to respond when I submit an application indicating 18 years of trade experience and they continue to advertise that same fake job weeks later.

@@nunyabiznez6381 you should try Staff Zone on Nebraska near Bearss. My second job. The pay sucks at 10 dollars an hour, but you get exposure to companies that may hire you. Plus some money beats no money

@@keithmyers1454 I tried getting a job in high school at McDonalds. could not get hired. Tried Walmart nothing. Big companies say they have openings but in reality there are none. I dress nice no tattoos, not disabled. Many big company's want to hire you if you can get gov't handouts while working for them. I didn't know how to do that.
