So has anyone else other than me totally given up and either started their own business or went on benefits and lived with parents because of how ridiculously competitive and globalized todays job market is? I'm especially talking to young people in their 20's here. Maybe 30's as well.
Getting an interview today isn't even a guarantee that you have the job. And with off shoring and competing with HUNDREDS of people for the same position, the chances of you getting that job are pretty slim. It's not just 4 or 5 people competing for a job anymore.
It's hundreds with the advent of the internet, social media, LinkedIn, and websites that let you automatically upload your resume.
You might even have to rely on your parents to get you that one job. You can't even get it yourself.
Live a simpler life. Reject modernity.
