@nbcnews: With an average of 5.3% of the recent #graduates #unemployed, it’s no wonder new members of the workforce feel the job market is “kind of like a black hole” and “getting a job is a full time job.” #GenZ graduates spoke to NBC News about their experiences on the job hunt.

The ghosting thing is the worst part. Apply, wait two weeks to be asked to schedule an interview or prerecord one. Radio silence for a month, then get met with rejection or nothing at all. What a waste of time

It’s literally exhausting. I’m paying for something that doesn’t even guarantee me a job. It’s like burning money.

They are requiring experience for entry level now bc the boomers literally cannot teach/train the jobs anymore, and yet are still getting paid the most at places and can’t flip a pdf but thank god they’ve been doing that job for a decade 🙄🙄🙄
