By folks I mean mostly but not all older folks. They still believe that getting a job is as easy as showing to a place with a help wanted sign and selling yourself which in all fairness still does happen but not to the degree to which they used to. These you have to spent countless hours on countless job listing sites applying to countless jobs most of which you don't hear from but when you do you go all in emotionally only to have the job ghost you. You start going to job fairs parading yourself like a show pony only to realize that most of those places are there for PR not hiring, you try and use personal connections but at best they get in the door not hired, at last you go to a place that has a help wanted aid or sign only to find that is either out of date or fake which common. This kinda thing can go on for months and many cases years, eventually it takes a toll on you but folks again older folks mostly who haven't dealt with most or any of this believe it is not that hard and that people are just soft. It pisses me off.
