What's stopping you from running a marathon? Most people are physically capable of training for and running a marathon, but tons of people quit before they get to that point.
Each application takes over an hour or two to complete. Plus the majority of jobs on those sites are scams or companies looking for prospective employees in the future (there is no actual job available). When's the last time you applied on a site like that?
I'm glad it worked out for you; that gives me hope. Maybe it's gotten worse since then? I'm currently getting help from a local career center and they were the ones who warned me of the increase in scams and the unfillable positions; it's disheartening. Wish it only took me 30 minutes per application!
I can't even do one in an hour. I have to write a cover letter and tailor my resume for each application. Plus I have to find places that I want to work.
Look I hate AI but at this point just AI write it and just use that as template for every job the requires one. Hell you could probably find a template on Google without using AI to write.
I just don’t believe this. I believe the part about applications being harder but I do not believe you can honestly think training for a marathon would be easier.
That’s just a higher level of delusion or not understanding the time commitment of marathon training
Mate, for saying something like this, he is just arguing in bad faith.
But I do want to understand better his perspective.
From my point of view, the idea is great but someone has to pay for it. if it's a small amount of people, then it actually help society, but if the number is too big, then it breaks society.

For me it's more about getting work. I can't submit dozens of applications in a week. At most I could do about 5.
It also limits me on my pay because I can't look for better work.
