    "You apply for 20 jobs on Indeed. The silence is deafening.

    "You apply for 20 jobs on Indeed. Half of them require you to create an account on the company website. You have a trail of ghost accounts that will be used once and never again. You never receive a response.

    "You apply for 20 jobs on Indeed. One employer offers an interview, but it’s so rare for you to receive any response that you forget to check the website and you miss the time.

    "You apply for 20 jobs on Indeed. One employer offers an interview, but you don’t know the magic words that signal to the esoteric mind of an interviewer that you’re fit for the job.

    "You apply for 20 jobs on Indeed. One employer e-mails you saying that ‘unfortunately, you do not have the qualifications we are looking for’. You check the job again and see you applied to be a menial labourer.

    "You apply for 20 jobs on Indeed. Half of them require a car a car. No one stops to ask how you’re supposed to afford one with no job.

    "You apply for 20 jobs on Indeed. One employer offers a job. The commute makes you want to die in your sleep.

    "You call the HR manager for the workplace in hopes of arranging an interview more directly. They don’t even have an answering machine.

    “Employers complain that no one wants to work anymore.”

      You do good work, keep it up. Oh and also, blockquotes are useful for distinguishing quoted text. I hope this makes your life a little easier

      My title of my post

      I am sir quoted

      I talk a lot and on many lines

      Thanks, my footnote

      In your post editor it looks like

      My title of my post

> I am sir quoted
>
> I talk a lot and on *many* lines

Thanks, my footnote

      Posts on lemmy and and a lot of other places support markdown. Its really handy.
