Literally everything I learned in my high school careers class was useless because the world changed so much because of the internet getting more and more mainstream. Was told to keep calling and asking about applications; nobody actually answers the phone. Was told to collect and fill out applications in person; everyone moved to online-only applications. Was told to dress like I'm going to church for interviews; most interviews I've had were group interviews and 90% of the other applicants just wore jeans and t-shirts. Was taught to meet the higher ups so they would get to know me; the higher ups aren't even on site except maybe once in a blue moon because something went wrong.

Force the target to come to you. Brilliant.

This but unironically. Seems like everyone works through recruiters now, because they've effectively outsourced HR.

Padding your LiinkedIn profile and dangling yourself like bait in front of recruitment firms (or just going through campus recruiters if you're in college) is the best way to land a job that isn't a series of MLM scams.

But you still have to wade your way through a surplus of MLM scams.

Employment fairs are fun

It's a low bar, but they manage to be more fun than simply going on the computer and filling out a thousand applications

Some employers were happy with merely the quality of paper of my CV. Gave a good first impression, although they did direct me to a sign up link. It is worth noting that they were small businesses, though
