Lol

That's rough. I've dealt with poorly designed interweb page interfaces but mostly with web stores, feedback forms and trivial shit like that.
Cheer up though. "Good morning" is actually proof that you can be polite to customers.

All of these corporate chain jobs are a black hole for resumes. Every blue moon they will look at them when they get desperate. You will likely receive a phone call from GameStop in 4 months after you found another job and forgot all about it.

Another thing: apparently online job applications are another victim of constant AI spam. I have no earthly idea what a scammer gets out of AI spamming job apps aside from maybe phishing but the rate of fake applicants means these HR departments are flooded.

I stopped applying anywhere that doesn't let you just send an email or text. Any company with a custom form is blacklisted. Many of them expect you to create an account and send extremely personal information just to apply, not even to get the job. Also, fuck cover letters or wearing suits to interviews. Here's some advice for you to get a job, OP.

Consider using a staffing service. They send you job offers instead of you having to apply. Once you apply to the staffing service, they'll pitch your qualifications on your behalf and try to get you in to one of their clients. It's typically minimum wage factory/warehouse type jobs with high turnover but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Physical work goes faster, you don't have to pretend to be busy, there's usually 3 shifts so you don't have to 9-5, the standards aren't high, you don't have to see the same people everyday, and it's expected that you'll be working there temporarily.

Go to the BLS website and find out what kinds of jobs are wanted, abundant, growing, and pay well in your area. You can use WIOA or FAFSA to get paid to go to job training. Once you get a cert or a degree, your institution which often works with specialized staffing services can help you get employed.

You can also try doing gig economy type jobs. These kinds of companies hire everyone guaranteed. The problem is that they only offer piecework. There's no guaranteed pay, benefits, or any sort of rights. It's shit but at least you're guaranteed to get in and the schedules are flexible. Examples are ridesharing, food delivery, and streaming.

>>243869
Maybe it's not a scammer but justice considering this resume bullshit for entry level is gay when the interview should matter more. 
>>243834 (OP) 
I accidentally a job myself and yes it was tedious but not as much as trying to get taxes done when you have one of those special PINs to avoid ID theft that you can't turn off. I take forever to do my taxes because of this. Then they won't cash your check and you have to go to amscot and pay a fee or three! Enjoy the four hour bus riding!

>>243834 (OP) 
Did you know that HR rarely reads resumes?
We just print them all out, wrap them in eachother, then roll them into a ball until they resemble something like a cabbage
Now the next is to stuff it some interns ass, and we usually pick ours carefully and I mean CAREFULLY
Wichever one makes it closest to the litter basket from there after the  usual process involved gets hired

>>243834 (OP) 
lol I feel bad for you man.

>>243834 (OP) 
I feel like this every day I wake up in the morning.
The struggle is real, dude.

>walk in
>let me talk to manager
>i will work for you 
>i can work to-day
<sir a resume
>i am right here. i can work as soon as right now.
At this point they'll probably give you a sheet of paper to fill out and you fill it out there and hand it to the boss. maybe he says
<have to do online application i know its gay
>okay are you working tomorrow
<yes/no but frank is and he's actually my boss
>i will be here tomorrow
<welllll blah blah blah
>then i will be here the day after. you need workers. i need work. 
And follow through. Look the faggot dead in his gay little eyes and talk straight. Lighten up if it's getting too tense, but still be direct and not rude. 
Alternatively, 
>rejoice and be glad
>the spring time has come
>throw down the shovel
>go on the bum 
You'll figure it out teenbro.

Always wondered if it were possible to live on the streets without begging for money and just catching and eating to rats and people's pets or maybe like farming just enough for myself in the woods, but with my PC I don't know what Id do for entertainment

I will do this monday and I'll let you know how it goes, but I'll bring a paper copy of my resume too

Some places simply don't have jobs. It's not enough to be employable. Having credentials, job experience, and a degree isn't going to make the economy any less broken or the government less corrupt. For many of us, moving is the only choice if we want to get out of the ghetto.

>adventures in retardation and why I will die alone as a hobo
Oh man. Story of my life.

Dunno if OP is still here, but you're better off with a temp or staffing agency like dude mentioned upthread.

GameStop and many other corpo retail gigs will usually shelve all the resumes they get in a year, until October-November. Then, they hire "seasonal assistants" en masse, give them all about 10 hours of time over two months, and if anyone stands out (ie sucks off the Store Manager), they bring on that one or two people from the dozen or so they just had. It's like a Battle Royale of failure and prostration. 

It's also worth mentioning, they typically WANT someone with nothing going on in their life (basement dwellers, trust fund college students, pseudo-NEETs who's parents are mad at them) to maximize the financial pressure they can apply tho their employees. 

You can do better, OP!

>corps use software, nowadays probably AI, to automatically scan resumes for specific words numbers or certain characteristics
No, they absolutely do that. It's not some revelation, and you're not the first to figure that out.
Do you have any diagnoses of any kind? Try talking to a doctor or two.

Very true. In my experience most temp places are looking to hire people permanently but the advantages to using a temp agency is it's easier to hire the unserious/retarded people. A lot of them even start a bit over minimum wage. Then they just transition people after a year or a few months. 
>>255145
Yeah it's tough out there. I got my current job by finding a super niche bunch of job listings that I was qualified for and the job application was sending my CV/resume directly to the hiring manager (who is now my supervisor) via email. No HR involvement until after she decided she wanted to hire me. 
Prior to that I applied for hundreds of jobs that were just black holes. Even when I was overqualified.

Yes, but it'll knock 25 years off your life - dead by 55 is that future (or dead in 2 weeks if you find an e.coli burger in the dumpster).

Maybe it'd be easier to go up to a local tradesman in person and ask him to apprentice you? You've got nothing to loose if you did especially considering that it would take a lot less time than waiting for a response email from some HR lady.

>>259675
>Maybe it'd be easier to go up to a local tradesman in person and ask him to apprentice you?
In what fucking world outside of the 1950s would that fucking work? He'd tell you to fuck off and let him work, then he'd also tell you to apply for a job like everybody else, if he wouldn't call the police on your ass or beat you up himself.
That, and it wouldn't look good on paper once you do apply like everybody else and the HR cunt remembers you pestering the tradesman. And that's assuming that you get past the AI filter first.

>>259687
I meant small "family owned" labor outfits. For example back in high school my construction technologies teacher would offer students who graduated jobs for his general contracting company.

It was a public school, and he didn't just hire anyone, he would hire people who showed enough interest in the program and proved they were reliable.

Still going through his network, of sorts.

Well that's just how it goes, in order to do literately anything that involves someone other than yourself you have to have some form of "network" and even then it wasn't really a hard network to get into.
