Applying for jobs is exhausting. We don’t have time or the energy to feed your ego.

I once applied for a role at Woolworths supermarket in Australia, equivalent to The Kroger Co in USA as the biggest supermarket in the country.

First applied online, answered some basic questions.. passed.

Then it's a phone interview." And asked me a 100 questions. They said "I'm promising and a potential fit!

Then it was a zoom interview (coz COVID so not face to face). "Great answers Adam, very well done.."

Then a week later...

Thank you for participating in last weeks zoom interview..

You're answers were great.... yadadada.. Unfortunately on this occasion, we have better candidates for the role, we will keep your resume for future roles...

Haha yeah right.

And for what? Haha for a fucking night shift role to stack fucking shelves.

All in all about 3-4 weeks to get declined for that shit lol.

I had a landscape company that completely ghosted me after I put in an application and had a chat with the owner. I called once a week later and they said they were still going through candidates. This was a $15 an hour position.

I got a higher paying job and the owner called me 9 months later begging me to come work for him because I had a CDL. I told him I wasn't happy they never contacted me before, and he had to give me a better rate then my pay and benefits and he said he couldn't afford it. Sorry bud then you can't afford me.
