    “the silence is deafening” sums up my job searching experience. I can apply to as many jobs as you’d like but I can’t actually start working until the other side says yes. and they seem to not even register that my application has been sent. How am I supposed to work, if no employer ever even looks at my application?

      yOu’Re SuPpOsEd To CaLl ThEm YoUrSeLf!

      I fucking hate that. If they need the position filled, should they not be checking each and every applicant? Why do I ALSO need to call the place after I sent in my application/resume?

        Is that the case? What about companies that don’t have a phone number and instead say to fill out their online form? Are you supposed to just hack them to get their number or something?

      This is my experience too. I spent 5 months looking for a job on Indeed and LinkedIn but eventually got a job in a completely different field thanks to my father-in-law.
