  • Maybe it’s a post hoc ergo procter hoc, ie. the run down property, and voting for Trump, are both symptoms of the same thing: That life’s been hard, that they are in over their heads, and that nothing seems manageable anymore. (Doesn’t it sound an awful lot like undiagnosed neuro divergence?)

    Maybe voting for Trump initially was an f you to the intellectual elite that “are keeping them down”? After a while it became part of the identity. And now they may not have much going for them, but they have their savior Trump.

    I just noticed that both previous paragraphs starts with “maybe”, that wasn’t planned, but it doesn’t convey my own doubts.







  • You can be outraged all you’d like, but if you choose to, then we’re not really competing for the same jobs.

    I get that they’re busy, but it’s their problem, not mine.

    So? What are you going to do about it? They’re making it your problem, and you can comply or not get hired.

    IDK about you, but I’ve got a family to feed, car payments to make, a mortgage, and no self-esteem. It’s clearly hyperbole, but if I have to go down on a clown to make it easier to meet my income requirements, then I’m not gay but I’ll still be looking for some tictacs.

    Update: ffs I’m not defending hr, they’re usually incompetent buffoons. But they’re the incompetent buffoons you need to get past if you want to get hired. And I don’t know about you, but when Frito Pendejo said “I like money” I kinda agreed with him. Anyway back to my OC:

    Why? They’re HR and hiring managers, not IT specialists.

    Try seeing it from HR’s perspective. They post a job and get +200 applications. The success criteria is not hiring the best candidate, it’s hiring a suitable candidate. Given that premise, why would you read through all 200 applications, when there’s someone with a nice website and cool sounding software, who promise that their product can sort through the resumes and only pick the relevant ones for you?

    Heck, I’m definitely going to be looking for an ATS testing site for my CV now. It really doesn’t matter what we think of it. If you want to communicate you’ll have to do it in a way that your recipient will understand, and if my recipient is a PoS software that can’t read PDFs, then writing my CV in latex is probably not the most effective way to communicate.
