A boring dystopia
What The Fuck! Who the hell pays to apply for work? That should be illegal to even ask for people to do that.
The $10,000 figure is what Josh Morgan, 45, paid for six months of work with a career strategist, who offered regular meetings, a personal website and access to recruiters.
I would think after the first month of paying someone to find me a job, I’d try other options.
Now I’m thinking of a job as a career strategist.
Sounds like the life couch scammers. I had that idea too. Bit goddamn morals go in my way.
Life couch? I’m listening

I found a couple of half hour meetings with a career strategist to be very helpful in resume editing.
I could even see using a handful of dummy interview sessions if I was badly out of practice.
IDK why you’d still need one months later. It would just turn into therapy sessions.
I considered paying canva for resume templates…
Then I asked Gemini to generate me a simple, readable, and ATS-Optimised template. Filled in my info, asked some mates to look over it and give me some tips and within like an hour and a half I had a great looking resume that I sent to a recruiter who I met by rapidfire sending out connection invites to recruiters that fit my criteria.
As someone working corporate when I’m on the job hunt I do spend a little money. LinkedIn Premium definitely gets more recruiters to message me, presumably because it pushes my profile in front of them. I have an AI tool that I load my resume into and it fills out applications for me. According to its stats I’ve saved over an hour of time using it which is a believable number to me and the sanity it saves is huge too. I haven’t used the AI bulk application services because I want to consciously know what jobs I’m applying for. So in total job hunting costs me about $50/month and I often use the time to pick up a new certification. So in total I probably spend $750 between jobs
Luckily the vast majority of my interviews are virtual so I don’t have to drive all over the city paying for gas or that would add to it
What an awful news article format.
I’d love to know in what field these people struggling this much to find work are trained in. I have a feeling it’s not plumbing.
