Why is it so hard to find a job? Ostensibly companies have tons of jobs they need filled but can't be assed to actually fill them. They're like that dude or chick who hits 40 still single because they won't settle. But that's stupid because your chances of finding The One are best either by doubling down on developing the first applicant or going through a bunch of applicants rapidly. This shit isn't rocket science; there are studies that show that "HR professionals" are about as good as rolling dice. I was trying to think of why we don't just have like a list of jobs that meet certain criteria for jobless people to get; like, you lose your job, you apply for unemployment, bam, they set you up with a place. If it doesn't work out after a month, you can be gone, but at least everyone took a try at it. The only reason I could think was that white collar dudes would rather be "working" at getting a job they actually want during the 6-8 hours they'd be working their assigned jobs. But that's dumb: if you're getting your job networking and whatnot, you're working at that a few hours a day tops. If you're working a full 8 hours filling out apps, you're just spraying and praying, and you're gonna end up with a job you hate anyway. The only people who benefit from the current system are the ones who plan to milk their benefits.

It just seems so wasteful of everyone's time and energy.
