I forgot how absolutely bullshit the job application process is since I’ve been self-employed for a while. They gave me what looked like a copy and pasted standard list of critiques, and 99.9% of it didn’t even apply to my application.
For example, they said “candidates with one or more spelling errors were not considered” — bruh I proofread my shit 1000x and have grammarly and spellcheck, you absolutely did not reject me for that reason.
Another thing they said is they need candidates with lots of years of experience in ALL of the software skills mentioned. LOL bro no one has 5+ years of experience in every single one of your obscure web applications or software programs. You would’ve been so lucky to have me cuz I actually am good with maybe 80% of them, but no one in the world will match for 100% unless they’re lying to you dumbasses.
It’s SO OBVIOUS they just put the posting up for shits and giggles and already have someone in mind internally. Applying for jobs is such bullshit, not a meritocracy at all.
