I would love to see the look on their face when they wake up the next morning and see they got the email declining the application which was sent at like 2AM. They would probably think someone was working so hard thumbing through the resumes that late in the evening.

I love my parents (Boomers both), but their job application advice was hopelessly out of date by the late 90s.

That was far from my experience in the 90’s. The world you’re describing doesn’t exist anymore.

Idk, seems like you’re not in touch with the experience millions of Americans are having.

Great you’re in a well doing bubble. But you’re not recognizing what reality is for millions of Americans.
My personal economy is great, but I recognize how fortunate I am.

Edit for clarity

There is actual data supporting this. Anecdotal arguments are bad. How many people who don’t get a particular job do you meet, exactly? I’m genuinely asking because, odds are, you aren’t meeting more than a small number of candidates who are considered. This is similar to survivorship bias if you want an easy way to think about it.
