There’s a reason I’m networking instead of job searching.

    Yeah, it’s a nightmare looking for jobs online right now. You could not design a system more unfriendly to neurodivegent people if you tried, it’s miserable to use your limited focus to put together a very effortful thing and it’s just being tossed in the blender.

    You’re expected to tailor your resume, re-enter your resume information, pass personality tests, prove you have years of experience for an entry level position, make yourself maximally available for interviews, risk scams and exposing your information to botnets, write cover letters that are never read, do research into the company to be prepared to show interest in it- only to just… Never even hear back

    I have never felt more like an animal performing for the amusing of a jeering, abusive crowd that this.

        Yeah that tolerance seems to be an absurd price to pay just to not be affected psychologically by this terrible job market that seems intentionally malicious.
