Go to restaurants and bars and give them your resume. If corporate isn’t going to work for, or with, you they can fuck off. I gave one bar my resume and now I have a full time job (after eighth months of dishwashing, I got promoted to food prep which comes with mornings shift and more hours)

The rent and utilities are too damn high for me to do that. The amount these jobs are willing to pay is far below what I make at my shitty (because Trump) job.
Aneb@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Ohh tea abt Trump enshittification? I want the deats if you can give them. I’m making $18.50 but I understand thats not achievable for most because capitalism sucks

I worked for a company where I sometimes tried to refer people to positions posted on our website, only to learn from HR that they weren’t real positions and they were posted to meet some legal requirements I wasn’t given details about.
That same company burned 12 internal employees’ time across 350+ applicants and a countless sea of interviews over a 6 month period. We arrived at consensus. Stated who we’d like to hire and were told the req had been closed the day prior. Was it ever real? We’ll never know. Did we waste well into the six figures of people’s time and energy? 100%.
Same company a few months after laid off entire departments, sunset numerous product lines with paying customers, and last I heard the current owners are just keeping it in hobble along maintenance mode and extracting profits before it crashes. Dumpster fire.

Best case scenario, HR is setting up fake jobs to make it look like an internal transfer or promotion was actually competetive.
Worst case scenario, they’re just doing it to pad the numbers of ‘how many new positions we’re looking to fill = we are growing rapidly!’ Stupid shsreholders might buy that.
Super duper worst case scenario, its all a data mining operation on the pool of potential employees… the company is so fucked it has to essentially contract itself out to market research firms.
Those are my 3 guesses.
Your particular situation makes #1 seem unlikely… thats waaay too much man hours devoted to interviews, when the company itself is bleeding out employees.

Definitely not a fake company, have made a dent in the administrative side of healthcare spaces, but #3 seems plausible.
Another place I worked would do it semi-related to #1 with regards to sponsoring visas - but I never asked too many questions, just in case.

seems like most companies are doing 1-3, in one form or another. most of them just want your resume,a nd likely the private details on the resume to sell.

looks like they were treating it like a PE firm from the start.
