I work as a defense contractor, duh as I was in the Army and these are PISSSSS easy to get when you get out, and we got word that our contracts are gonna be not getting renewed so I’m looking at fast unemployment.

I specialize in IT, as it was my job in the Army, and got a few good spots. Every single job I applied to make me submit a resume and a CV and a reference sheet, and you think I was done?!

NO! Then I had to take some fucking personality questionnaires and for one I had to do a whole fucking like visual novel thing where you simulate dealing with customers! What the fuck?!

This is the job market now?! Why do I need to do this?! Can I not just show who I am in an interview!? Mind you, I have luck with these jobs as I got referred by an employee working there as I gave me “elevator speeches” to them, but still.

Applying to three jobs took me like all fucking day when it could have taken me minutes.
