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.

@Muldoon why is it like this 🥲

@DeluxedEdition Employers figure
if you're still employed you have met company standards or you are able to navigate the changes in the work place.

@Muldoon so they are looking at it from an analyst standpoint instead of considering that a person who isn’t currently employed would actually need a job before the person with the job

Not to mention they possibly got laid off or fired unexpectedly or their place of employment shut down

How ass backwards and unfair

@DeluxedEdition I spoke of my personal experience.
What ultimately led to my current job is networking. I took a job that wasn't my dream job, I had a side gig also. During the side gig someone saw me and gave their name as a referral to a job interview for building maintenance at a district office. I took it knowing a district manager is one of the decision makers for that medical company. After impressing the Regional Operations Director and the Divisional Vice President I was promoted twice to get the position I now have, 8-5 m-f with full benefits and a raise.
I got in on the ground level surrounded by the people who are in charge of making decisions.
The front desk clerk's & the internet contacts are not making the decisions for you, their bosses are making the decisions.
Try to find out who makes the decisions and pursue them.
Good job opportunities in big companies come from within.
I hope this helps.
