I’m an adult and I’m pissed

Keywords: {0}

Pissed that I keep getting rejected, pissed that I didn’t do any internships, pissed that my family is looking at me to already get my shit together and pissed at myself mainly. Who the fuck told me it was a good idea to purse a career in a state college that barely has connections or useful resources to the career that I am pursuing. Why I didn’t I become a social worker or a nurse or fucking lawyer!

If I need to, I will definitely hold on to the job I get and try to work our way around this job-related-misery in whatever tiny ways I can

There is a lot of debate going on about certain comments Prince Harry made on what is being dubbed as the “great resignation”. He said he’s quite happy people have quit jobs that make them unhappy or negatively affect their mental health. He said, and I quote, “Many people around the world have been stuck in jobs that didn’t bring them joy, and now they’re putting their mental health and happiness first. This is something to be celebrated.”

Five years from now I hope that I have landed a job where I am happy what I’m doing, love the people I’m working with and pursing a senior level job.

I wanted to know that I matter, that my life matters in this world, that my existence has significance

Keywords: {0}

I realized that everything I had been doing in my life, everything that I had been building up to, such as my high-paying job and my condo ~ it was all an illusion, it was all a facade. What was the point of stressing myself out for five years if I were to lose it all one day? Why did I have to suffer for nothing? Losing everything in the pandemic made me start to question what the purpose of everything was. Why was it that we spend our whole youth spending six hours in a classroom, which most subjects we don’t even use and why do we take such big gambles such as paying thousands of dollars for an education that does not guarantee a job or if we get one, we could lose it in an instant due to factors outside of our control? Why did thousands of people need to die needlessly in the pandemic, including someone I knew, who was young and vibrant, at the start of her career?

If you don’t have an “in” with the company you are applying with, you have a little better than a snowballs chance in hell of getting hired

Keywords: {0}

When companies post jobs on sites like Indeed; the majority of the time that post is there for HR reasons, and they will most likely already have a list of candidates to interview. These candidates are F/As that they have a prior connection with- by previous contract employment, a referral from inside the company, or someone that the hiring manager already knows and likes. IF they run out of those candidates, then they will move on to the hundreds of applications they got from the websites. I am telling you this because It is reality in corporate aviation, and you NEED to know it to get a job…

I advise you not to apply for jobs through LinkedIn and instead go directly to the company’s website or other job boards like Indeed or Glassdoor

Keywords: job search , networking , professional , linkedin , social media

One advantage that I do utilize LinkedIn for is your ability to search a company and then look at the employees who are currently working there. You can find people in positions similar to what you are looking for and try to connect with them that way, or see if you have any mutual connections. Better yet, after finding these potential connections try going to the company’s website and looking at their leadership/team page and see if they leave their contact information. Do they have an email address listed? Is it a uniform format for each employee? If so, you can bet that if you use that email format with the person’s name that you found on LinkedIn you want to connect with that they will receive your email.

Why do we have to put so much effort into job hunting if Employers can just not even respond to our application?

How Much Is Your Life Worth

Why should a programmer have to go through 200 questions, a programming test, have a github portfolio, a website portfolio, a custom cover letter. ONLY for an employer to not even give a call back or a human email saying they were rejected?

Oh and if you just try to simply submit your application and refuse to do these bullshit ass tests/portfolio then people think you’re lazy. How the fuck am I lazy for not wanting to throw hundreds of hours of my life away on this bullshit job application process.
