That Was Fast

So this morning I put in a job application. Not even 5 minutes after submitting the application, I got a rejection email:

After careful consideration, we regret to inform you that you have not been selected for this position. Please note that if you have applied to more than one position, your application for those positions may still be under review and this message is in reference to the position of IT Professional I - Database Administrator-AS0001OM only.

We appreciate your interest in Jacobs.

We will retain your candidate file in our database and may inform you of job openings that match your profile if you selected this option. We also invite you to visit www.jacobs.com/careers to view the other job openings and apply to those for which you are qualified and interested.

Guess I'm gonna have to go into business for myself. No one will hire me no matter what 'keywords' I use.

Careful consideration my ass.

See ya around,

Aspie

makes me think this wasn't a real job opening but more likely an H1B visa job.

@Outsourcing Is Treason My mother-in-law keeps saying I should just do digital archiving on my own and tell employers to fuck off.

This video of a law firm explaining the Playbook for gaming the H1-B program to execs is eye opening.
As Michael Corleone said, "It's not personal Sonny. It's strictly business."

The sheer speed of it makes me think this wasn't a real job opening but more likely an H1B visa job.

If the position existed at all.

@thanatokephaloides 3 years ago, Coastal Flats restaurant opened a new location in Gaithersburg. They have been running this ad every week since:

Come on in and fill out an application!! I think it's a scam to harvest Social Security numbers.

insist you keep looking for work. "Careful consideration" in the space of five minutes is a lie.

Here is the author's understanding of ASD: "...autism spectrum disorder, a catch-all name that includes a range of symptoms from muteness to the milder social awkwardness of Asperger Syndrome..." And the article starts with the 'warning:' "Long Read."

Might be of interest, or not.

@jabney I literally can't acquire a drivers' license due to my disabilities. Because of that, no business will hire me unless it's a fuckin' temp/internship job where they can get rid of me after the fact.

The story features a young person and the hopes and fears trying to get hired. After getting hired, the person's car hit a pole. The loss of a working car meant walking for a while, that's all.

The story is not that long of a story. And the story said the young person was rather surprised at the amount of the first paycheck.

@jabney And I don't buy it. Besides, you can't get by walking to places in Flawer-Duh, especially on the former Space Coast.

Microsoft is in Redmond WA. The story is written by (I presume) an unaffiliated writer. And reading the story is free.

I've been 'burned' by a lot of job 'offers' but not all of them were terrible.
