True depiction of the struggles faced while searching for a job opportunity, by Elmo. It's a full time, remote job searching effortlessly for an opportunity. The amount of time and energy put into applying, scheduling interviews, corresponding in numerous emails, following up, without any tangible incentives or the common courtesy of a call back, while rent is due and bills pile up, hustling to make mere pennies work together to survive. It can be overwhelming, and overstimulating, reading through numerous epistles of company or organizational rhetoric, mission statements, qualifications and requirements. All hell if your ability to speak another language is rusty, you're literally screwed, say goodbye to that bilingual position that you have the experience and capacity to work in that said position. Trying to find a suitable match with all credentials and experience listed, but not having the required degree, despite having the experience. Possession of a Bachelors to hear you're not experienced enough, and too experienced to hear you're over qualified. Going through an entire application process of attaching a resume, and for some a cover letter. Answering personal questions in demographics about sexual preference, and ethnicity. Seems you're looking for more than a job after answering the questions. Then, submitting the said application that states they don't discriminate disabilities, by standard of ADA. Only to come out fighting for your life and mental health trying to convince someone to accept you. Receiving well articulated rejection emails, after an awesome interview. Shadowing for an hour for an on-site interview, afterwards requested references, with no follow up. Confusing as it maybe, starting the process all over again, day in and day out. The expletives maybe offensive, however, the sentiments are accurate. https://lnkd.in/eYbaepqF
