Don’t worry, Trump will take care of you.
When he has overturned democracy in USA, he will make unemployment illegal, and you will be used as forced labor.Thank God, I was worried for a second
“13 interviews with 11 different people for one job at one company and ultimately they went with another candidate”
That about sums up the best case scenario in this market. This report is grim, and doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of all the other red flags and warning signs.
I have 20+ years experience in one of the most in demand jobs and in one of the hottest markets, who ticks all the boxes in all the qualifications for each of the hundreds of jobs I have applied for, who lives in one of the top regions for the industry, and (I have to at least acknowledge) whose demographic traits are the very stereotype of privilege… yet even I haven’t gotten so much as a callback in six months.
Economic uncertainty is one reason the job market is dead. The surge of both automated candidate screening bots and in automated job application spam bots creates artificial competition for jobs, compounding the real competition from sustained and accelerating unemployment rates. The widespread availability and use of LLMs has been devastating for resumes, cover letters and portfolios in particular, which are intrinsically conventional and derivative of the job posting to which they are attached, and thus optimal for LLMs to produce.
So on top of the general economic reasons and the supply/demand issues resulting from rapidly accelerating unemployment, LLMs have irrevocably and single-handedly destroyed what was left of traditional job seeking procedure, wisdom, and etiquette.
And what do you want to bet all the jobs just magically come back once it all “naturally” stops working and we “rightfully” return to monarchy?
This is by fucking design. Everything you see around you is because a few fucking piece of shit elites decided democracy was in the way of more profits.
The best thing any of us can do is to call this bullshit out IRL and to not comply when they tell us to lay down so they can more easily put their boots on our necks.
it was bad before llm, is certain doesnt help when llm is used to screen out applicants, and used to make job applications. cs, physics, and biotech research certainly are on the high end of UNEMPLOYMENT.
also the fact that some will have ghost applications to, having the listing with no intention of hiring and plus as a listing to show they arnt hiring through nepotistically, internally. also creating an excuse to offshore, outsource these industries in the end.
at least for bio there is a very strong preference for woman employees, alot of the volunteer labs which are extremely limited and hard to find as it is in school were all taken by that demographic(>55%women), turns out they were given leg up for a while, through various scholarships, or in university programs that arnt available for men and then theres the people in charge who only want women in thier labs. thats why they makeup 60% of bio majors, and the field. men dont go for this industry, more or less geared towards bio pipeline to nursing or MD. while the phd level is still men, i suspect those will soon change once more women takes over in grad school numbers.
401k gonna crashhhh
