I've been job hunting. This process has been made incredibly complicated, and unnecessarily so. Why do I have to fill out an hour long assessment to work at a convenience store? I have somehow failed that particular assessment three times, and still don't know how. It makes no sense.
Even finding the actual opportunities isn't like it used to be. When I was first looking for a job 10 years ago as a teenager, you went from place to place asking for applications. You sat down, filled it out, smiled pretty as you handed it back and hoped they liked you. You called them every couple of days asking for the hiring manager until you got an interview.
Now you have to search online. Guess at what will be a fit for you, because you aren't actually seeing the business, and you have to hope that it's a legitimate posting to begin with. It's a real chore to sort through all the postings to find the ones that might possibly maybe work for you. Then you have to jump through the application hoops. Take their assessments, and hope that you pass them. Sometimes they'll tell you at the end if you passed, sometimes they won't. It's incredibly frustrating.
That's it for now. Rant over.
