    I do not even suck, you see.

    But then I read:

    My resume gets ever longer every year as the years drag on. I have a ton of tech skills. Interviewers ask me, with such a long list of skills and breadth of knowledge and experience, how is it possible that I am not working.

    A supposedly great resume and you're even getting interviews? While I've heard of a few cases where employers have pretended to do interviews, for the most part, that's real hiring right there. Sorry, not only do you suck, but you choose to suck.

    The reason is simple. Nobody is hiring.

    If you really used that line in front of someone who is interviewing you and hence, actually hiring people, then that's doubly stupid - you came up with this flimsy, brazen lie in front of someone who is actually hiring. Of course, you're not going to make the list.

    The vast majority of people just find work when they need to. They don't come up with an elaborate fairy tale to explain why they can't.

    Yes I am getting recruiter calls daily, and yes I am getting interviews. And nobody is hiring. I'm not the one choosing not to hire anyone. I have no money and no power. The power lies entirely with the employers with all the money who refuse to employ anyone and who get on a power trip by conducting interviews when they know for certain that not a single one of the candidates will be hired. I've heard every excuse there is, from "sorry we had our budget cut and the job was eliminated but the interviews were still on the schedule" to "you should apply anywhere else because you have too many skills and you'll be bored here even though you say you're able and willing to do the work."

    You're a sheltered entitled idiot, khallow. Pull your head out of your asshole and see the real world around you, khallow.

    You don't know what the hell you are talking about. The situation is I'm seeking a job because I don't have a job therefore I'm seeking a job. The plain truth doesn't get any more true. The employers are blatant liars who lie about hiring for jobs that don't exist. They know they can get away with lying in an employers' market with millions unemployed who will never be employed. Employers don't need to be told nobody is hiring. Employers already know they are not hiring anyone.

    The vast majority of people just find work when they need to. They don't come up with an elaborate fairy tale to explain why they can't.

    Vast majority, you say, you fucking weasel. That's right, you admit the existence of the minority of candidates who have the raw talent and the natural drive and the formal education and the refined skill and the years of experience and the passionate attitude to achieve and yet still never find jobs anywhere.

    You fucking suck, khallow. You're just like every other pigheaded cunt I always find everywhere in the tech industry who thinks everybody can just get a job since, ... duh, you gots a jerb. You are utterly toxic poisonous shit, khallow.

      Exactly. I get that looking for work is hard, particularly at the level you're at. But pigheaded cunts find work despite not having your advantages. The only common denominator in all this is you. Think about it.

          With an attitude like he has, that's quite likely.
