Hey everyone! Since we received an overwhelmingly positive response about our first bunch of Career (Con)Quest comics strips, we are here to share some more!
Do you remember Sam? Our adorable main protagonist—somewhat socially-awkward, yet smart electrical engineer—dreaming to escape the totally absurd workplace he’s currently at. Plus, we have his girlfriend Hanna—a lovely, but not particularly helpful HR pro, doling some occasional wisdom.
In this new batch, once again Sam’s dives deep into the dangerous, unpredictable, and sometimes just too real world of job search!
We hope you really like this Part II and check our website for more comics!

I finally had to do something desperate, thefakeresumeguide.c and faked it till I finally got a job, and a really good one. I was a month behind in rent with no saving and was turned down multiple times so out of desperation I did it.

The economy has been purposely crashed. You won't find jobs anytime soon. Thank a journalist for their over dramatization , especially one that said he was hiding sick in his basement with COVID only to be caught working out in a gym the same day. They the media all make me sick. Liars all of them.

sorry. but most CEOs are a******s. They treat people like numbers. Maybe if your company is 20 people and gives free food and has soft sofas in the lunch room. but most are over paid, narcissists.

I can totally relate :( I once lost out on a job opportunity after 5 rounds of interviews. 5 ROUNDS! :'(

I had this happen. Online application (Truck driver, 10 year work/address history) then over the next 10 days an in person interview, driving skills test, math aptitude and hazardous materials tests, facilities tour, letter of employment offer, then.... nothing. Almost lost the job I already had because of it.

Is there some kind of rule that employees can't make more than their (immidiate?) manager(s)? I don't see what Jim's salary has anything to do with the ability to give raises to those under him. If it was framed as a budgetary restriction I could believe it.
kurisutofu 5 years ago
Well, I don't think managers would like that and they're the one giving you the raise ... so it's not a rule but more a human nature thing. Managers thinks they're worth more than their subordinates, that's all.

This is when you design the most spectacular button the world has ever known.

Do it, then they give you a bigger project, and so on and so on, until you are designing the spaceships!

And when you arrive with all the skills and all the boxes ticked, a perfect match in an industry begging for skilled employees. When even the media laments a lack of people wanting to do the job you find out that at 50 you are too old and that companies want a 25 year old with 15 years experience who is happy with a low wage sector paycheck.

MY problem was looking for a job in my field everyone was looking for a BS or MS degree with 3-5 years experience, I have a PhD (which people assume means I want more money) but at the time only 1-2 years experience...

And one of the main problems with effectively everyone requiring a number of years of experience is how do the applicants get that experience in the place? They are essentially creating their own Catch-22 situation.
