    Got it. Okay, that makes much more sense. Nothing new there for me, then.

    When you say companies shouldn’t be “this selective,” what are you referencing that they’re being too selective about? If I’m being more picky than I need to be, I should stop, so I’m eager to learn something here

      I think collecting applications for months just to tell 99% of applicants they wasted their time is part of what’s making the job market so horrible, that and most job postings being fake.

      For service jobs and really any job that doesn’t require special licenses there’s absolutely no good reason why they shouldn’t hire one of the first to apply instead of holding out.

        oh man, I got rejected so many times from supermarkets and fast food joints while they were still advertising that they were hiring. Absolutely fucked.
