I can't understand all this talk and all these articles and headlines about work shortages. Half the people I know are unemployed but can't find jobs.

I know like fourteen people all looking for work and everywhere they go asking for a job, they get laughed out of the room.

Yeah I feel this. I job searched with some pretty good creds (Or so I’m told) and nothing. The few interviews I did get wanted way overqualified candidates. It was ridiculous.

@Rokasu Exactly! It is a game to them. It's always endless group interviews looking for someone with a graduate degree and ten years experience or "we can't afford you.". I'm glad to be out of the private sector.
