>go interview for a few different entry level minimum wage

>>37377339
It's not you dude, unfortunately the managers are just hiring their friends or their friends kids. You gotta network

M8 they usually hire women for those positions.
Some guys can get hired too but the bar is much higher. You have to be a social rock star as a guy to get hired for that kind of job, and while you were probably functional enough in the interview, there was still likely something kind of off about you. You could still probably do the job just fine but why hire you when there is an abundance of women applying, and some super smooth half breeds?
You might be able to get hired at a survey taking call center though

>>37377374
>you gotta network
I have no one to network with. my parents don't have many contacts because they kind of keep to themselves, and my siblings don't like me enough to put themselves on the line for me.
>>37377404
>you might be able to get hired at a survey taking call center
other anons have recommended the same thing. unfortunately, the closest one is over an hour away by car (and I take the bus).

>>37377339
I have an interview coming up with a local life insurance company.
Even though I don't have any experience at all in that particular field. They said it was alright and that they would "train me".
Sounds like bs to me, no one fucking trains employees any more in this fucking country.
Seems like a waste of fucking time, I may not even go. I've been to multiple job interviews this year and haven't been hired yet, so I really don't want to wake up early in the morning, get all nice and clean, and go talk to some HR asshole and smile only to get rejected. What do you guys think of this?

You probably just don't have the right "energy" for the office "culture".
At least, that's how somebody explained it to me when they gave me the "we'll call you if we go with you" line and I told them I knew what that meant and demanded they told me why they're not hiring me.

>>37377537
I can't speak to how legitimate this particular interview is, but
>I've been to multiple job interviews this year and haven't been hired yet, so I really don't want to wake up early in the morning, get all nice and clean, and go talk to some HR asshole and smile only to get rejected
hits my feelbone hard. Also, I usually have to take 2 or 3 busses to get to my interviews, so it's a real pain in the ass and really discouraging.

>>37377577
>You just don't have the right "energy" for the office "culture"
So I'm gonna take it you got interviewed by a woman?

>>37377577
>demanded they told me why they're not hiring me
Im doing this next time, fuck it I got nothing to lose.
At worst, they'll just get frightened and call security to escort me out. Its not like they were going to hire me anyway.

>>37377650
Do it and report back to us anon

>>37377766
Interview is this thursday so ill make a thread with crying wojak.
I already the HR person interviewing me is a fucking woman so Im probably screwed anyway.

>>37377613
>2 or 3 busses
I just use uber or lyft to go to my interviews, where the fuck do you live?

>>37377829
Yeah, women only want to hire people they click with, they could care less about qualifications. Interviews for jobs of actual importance are more often handled by men but the jobs that a monkey could do they let the broads handle. Which means guys like us are fucked.

>>37377838
In phoenix metro area and I can't afford uber. an all day bus pass is 2 dollars where I live if you buy a reduced fare pass at 7-11 and pretend that you qualify for it (and no bus driver ever bothers checking if you have the proper bus id to make sure that you do).

>>37377537
bumping this post.
I really need some guidance on this.
I have absolutely zero experience with selling life insurance, so why the fuck would a Life Insurance company hire me????
Are they only doing it so they can get paid for setting up the interview? I won't get jack shit out of it if they don't hire me (which they most likely won't.
Bitch on the phone said that they would train me but im not buying it.

>>37377339
What are essentially huge strides for you, are things that are expected from every person that applies for a job.
Im telling you man, if you can, just live a comfy NEET life.
Pretending to be a normie every single day is fucking exhausting.

You're probably "fine", but if they can they'll prefer to hire a normie woman or Chad man. And things being the way they are even a lot of those have to apply to these type of jobs now. Not sure where that leaves us.

>>37379034
Were basically fucked. 20 years ago, Chad and Stacy could got all the high paying jobs, now they are settling for minimum wage entry level jobs. They are using their good looks and superior social skills to remove robots like us from the equation.
Eventually actual robots will replace them, and they will be unemployable like the rest of us though.

There are just going to be jobs that robots will not get hired for. I can't tell you how many jobs I interviewed for because they were stacked against me in favor of Chads, women, and minorities.

>>37379234
not him but the questions are very standard and it isn't hard to answer them right. this isn't some high ranking creative position. I did an interview a few days ago for a call center, and I didn't get hired, but I went to redd.it and posed some of the questions that I got asked during the interview and asked them how they would answer them, and surprise, they answered them about the same way I would. this isn't the problem for me, and I would bet it isn't for OP. the problem is likely something one of the other anons in this thread proposed.

yeah but the thing is is that these are the bottom of the barrel entry level jobs. they weren't supposed to be for chads normies and women. 20 years ago anyone of us with a pulse would walk in and get hired on the spot at one of these places. now we jump through all their hoops and get rejected hundreds of times.
most of us aren't very smart either or particularly skilled, so where does that leave us?

>>37378611
It's probably a commission only phone sales job. Insurance companies always hire for shit like this because the turn over is so high.

Did you remember to be urself, OP?

>>37382065
You are 100% right.
Found the company on Glassdoor, and it has nothing but negative reviews.
No wonder they wanted to hire me despite being unqualified. They are just fucking desperate that they will literally take anyone since the job is so shitty.
I knew it was too good to be true....

>>37377339
Economy is booming you should have no trouble getting a job. If you apply to 5 places (be realistic) and don't get a call back your doing something wrong

>>37383618
>Economy is booming
The economy is actually getting worse. Have no idea what you've been smoking.

>>37383618
the econony isnt booming, stocks are just over valued as a hedge against loss and the housing and credit bubbles are going to bottom out again soon

>>37383618
economy has nothing to do with securing a job. You could still find a job in a shit economy, but if there is no demand for workers then you aren't going to get hired anywhere you fucking retard.

>>37381814

He is right in this case but why would you take anything that cuck says at face value?

>>37385401
I agree. I grew up in a suburb but moved to the big city when I was 18. Lived there for 9 years and got the hell out the second I could afford. Now live in a rural Montana town. Comfy as fuck.

>>37385401
if youre young and need a job, then big citites are ideal.
Everything is within walking or bus distance and there are usually lots of work opportunities.

I grew up in bumfuck nowheresville where everything was spread the fuck out due to farmers taking up all the land.
Even the fucking grocery store was like 8 miles away from where I lived.

>>37385885
yeah but the drawback is that you're surrounded by normies and all other kinds of big city shit.
I recommend all the underage anons reading this to learn some skill that qualifies them for decent paying remote internet jobs, start developing innawoods skills and move to some bumfuck nowheresville when they come of age. it is the pinnacle of comfiness one can achieve in this plane.

>>37386032
Well that's not going to happen unless I probably get my software eng degree, so until then its city life for me. Going back to my country ass home town now would be fucking suicide.

You guys are fucking kidding.
I quit my job like 10 months ago and still haven't gotten a new job yet despite many interviews and shit that wastes my time.
The memes are fucking real.

Job market is a fucking mess.

Low skill, entry level jobs that used to be for highschool and college students getting started in the workforce are hyper competitive now, and are full of adults.
You have fucking 30-40 year olds working at fucking mcdonalds now, not teenagers.

Old people are refusing to retire, so young new workers can't take their place.
And the population is getting bigger, which isn't helping the problem
Its a fucking nightmare. Things are looking good for us lads, not at all.

How hard is it to become a truck driver? I can't drive a regular car that well but then I don't have much practice as mummy rarely lets me drive it (I'm talking two times a year since the day I got my license, usually for "emergencies"). So how hard would it be given that I have little experience on a regular car?
Also, do I have to lift ANYTHING on the job? I have back problems and couldn't lift anything above 25 pounds as it could seriously hurt my back. Are there certain ways of avoiding lifting?

>>37379066
I don't know where you live anon but walmart and mcdonalds here are super fucking competitive. They get a million applications since it's the first thing anyone thinks of. Half the staff are minorities, old folks and cripples so they can get maximum tax breaks and the other half are minimum wage rock stars who carry all of their shitty tax break coworkers. If you're a normal white male they may hire you, if you get lucky, because that half of the staff is a fucking miserable abusive exploitative revolving door. They'll intentionally understaff to save money, overwork you as hard as they can then discard you after 3 months when you start having medical problems from all the shit they put you through. You're an easily replaceable slave after all.

Why do you fags keep doing this shit? You like to crack jokes about needing a masters to washes dishes but it doesn't work that way. Just apply for something in your field or something managerial/administrative/office drone if you picked a meme major. No one will hire a BS to flip a burger because obviously you'll leave the second you get a BS level job. Why even go to uni if you wanted to do that kind of thing? Leave it off the resume and maybe you'll fare better.

I went in for an interview the other day for a customer support job like OP. I managed not to shake while I spoke this time (though my eye contact wasn't great) but I fucked up the questions.
The biggest mistake was that he was explaining how you could earn from 10 to 15 dollars an hour, depending on your performance. He said something like "We want our employees to try to earn the highest they can, who are driven to get more than 10" and I just kinda said alright. he then repeated it again in some way, and I just said alright again.
like you, I realize my cue too late. I was supposed to let him know that, yes, I will try my hardest to earn more money, that I was driven. but I just said alright, like I didn't really care (which isn't accurate, workdays gonna suck anyway, my attitude would be may as well try to squeeze the most money I can from it). he set me up for it again, and I gave the same wrong answer.
I haven't been called back either.
we're not gonna make it.
