some of which i said, but, like, diplomatically. like. yes. yes it is a new and exciting trend. called "there are no fucking jobs"

traditional steady employment is eroding! (also when i said it's still a very difficult job market he gave me a surprised "really? still?" omg i have been looking for the past year, yes, STILL)

ahahahaha...ahaha...hah.

like. i have had a number of interviews where they look at my resume and go "wow, that's impressive, you could work anywhere!" uh. no. no i can't. no one will hire me. so, you know, thanks for the compliment but that does nothing for me.

the compliment is lovely (i have gotten that one too!) but also fuck off because you're now you're taunting me

I've gotten that compliment before, and had a place who said that almost pass me over because they thought I was likely to go work somewhere better. no, fuck you, job plz

I have straight up been asked why i was applying to a place when i went to UC for law school and i just said "because it's a difficult job market and i am not in a position to think like that" before realizing the correct answer would be why i specifically liked that place

Yeah when I was job hunting it was awful
