I have the same qualifications as the descriptions and even exactly what the job is looking for and don't hear back. Some other jobs ask for interviews with 1 or 2 similar qualifications. It's nuts.

Yeah, I will literally fit the exact description for a job, and then some, and not a fucking word. Insane. Like who the fuck are you looking for.

Not even the benefit of an interview is just weird. It doesn’t make sense.

I had one that I fit word for word but I have an AS and not a BS. My father in law works for the company for 22 years and puts in for it under his name as an endorsement. If I get hired he gets a bonus if I stay for a year. Nothing. Not even a phone interview. So dumb. And my degree is not a technical degree.

The schooling requirement for things like software development are getting out of hand too. I’ve been automatically rejected for junior positions because I lack a BS. I have 10+ years of experience doing exactly what they are looking for.
