I decided to expand my job search and use the VA resources given to me to speak with some guy I think was a career counselor.

90% of the talk was about AI. Prepping my resume with AI so the AI reading it can do better and he told me how to act when being interviewed by AI.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN AI IS DOING INTERVIEWS NOW?! I look into it and fucking Burger King of all places is now using AI to interview people!

I also applied to another fucking place today after speaking with that guy after work because I hate myself, I guess and this fucking application for an IT Support Position took me an hour an a half to do because it included another fucking personality test and not one but THREE MOTHERFUCKING VISUAL NOVEL TYPE OF THINGS OF “what would you do in this scenario?”

ARE YOU FUCKING ME!? HOLY SHIT, HOW DID WE LET IT GET THIS BAD?!

End my suffering, please. This cannot be where our country has gone.

      In the Army and then I nabbed a contractor job in 2021 by telling a guy I knew how to fix the printer, but now I’m losing my contractor job because the company and the government failed to agree on something and now I’m getting fucked because of it.

      *sobs*

        If the company is going out of business, then that will help you because you can lie lie lie on your resume.

          I dunno if they are going out of business, but I knew shit was getting bad when my boss was laid off about a month ago. Some of us stayed, but we were told we are all going away in June. I am in that group.

          Another thing to say that is bad is if you are a veteran like me, companies really have this tendency of, “Your military work is not applicable,” and one recently told me they found my federal contracting job experience to not be applicable either!

          Like really, this job market sucks so much shit! It feels like every company is doing everything they can to not hire you! If you’re poor, an immigrant, or a veteran? The nation is just saying fuck you. And god help you if you’re all 3.

          Sorry, just had to vent part 2, but I would never lie on my resume. Just stretch the truth a teensy bit.
