Of course, there's always that one faggot with "muh STEM" in the replies, as if that path isn't infested with women and H-1Bs.
STEM is a dirty lie, I have a chemistry degree and the only shit available is either for PhDs (and requiring excessive experience that a fresh PhD isn't going to have) or you get a CDL and drive a truck. Its absurd. They tell you there are all these jobs available but the moment you graduate it vanishes like the damn mirage it always was.
This is just an anecdote, but my industry and workplace needs entry-level (recent-grad, no experience) chemists, and it has become almost impossible to find any. And not for any resume filtering reasons either; just a complete lack of applicants that are legal citizens with a relevant degree.
I can only assume the competent candidates gave up applying, and the legitimate employers get drowned out by the algorithmic hiring of the largest companies.
Boss: Do you know anyone for xyz?
Me: Sure [middle aged White guy who’s been unemployed for 5 months] would be perfect!
Boss: …
Real conversation I’ve had a dozen times.
Pretty much exactly this. You apply for these entry jobs you absolutely have the qualifications for and then they just ghost you. And the position just stays on the board without any movement so you know it isn't filled, its depressing. And its either a fake listing or just one other job that shoves anything that doesn't fill their diversity quota into the trash.
