I don’t know if it’s this high, but the sentiment is very true in my industry. Almost every new worker is Indian.



i got to give it to them. No demographic is better suited for corporate america. I am very impressed with their ability to send busy work my way, pass the buck, squeeze vendors profit margins and shift blame onto others. Not to mention they are the very best at hiring their friends and family

Being this shifty about a simple conversation that you started is probably contributing to your issues finding a job dude.

I hire people that sound like what you seem to be describing. If I post a job on Monday I have 200 Indians and 50 west Africans living in Dallas applying by Wednesday . All with AI resumes. You need to submit to 100 jobs and reach out on LinkedIn or email personally to hiring managers or potential team members. HR will frick you over in screening

There’s your first problem.

An educated person would’ve wrote “I am an engineer”, not “a engineer”.

The hiring process at large companies is currently managed by incompetent HR women. The process takes months and follows no logical order.


Yep, went through this process a few times at this point. Process took 2 months after the offer letter was accepted. It’s just crap.

“not related to me degree”?

Along with stating that you’re “a engineer”?

Looks like a trend.

I bet people reading your resume think it’s a hoax of some sort perpetrated by an illiterate person trying to stay on unemployment by randomly applying for jobs.

I have recruiters in my LinkedIn inbox a couple times per week over the last few months.

You’re really an engineer?

How many years have you spent in tech, not “mechanical engineering stuff”?

There are over 7 billion people on the planet. No one is going to figure out who you are by your listing of your work experience and technical expertise.

More importantly, no one here is going to care to do so unless you dare them, make outlandish claims, be a raging dick, etc.

Who the frick is working for $13 an hour other than HS kids?


TBF even a lot of teenagers won't. Though working experience is (imo) important, why risk getting a bad grade on a test because some dumbass manager scheduled you to close the night before?

Colleges are more competitive than ever and especially once you're paying for college, you need to either be working on your career or working on making straight As.

$13 an hour service jobs beat nothing, barely

You're not an engineer.

You're a pirate.

You're a damn pirate pretending to be an engineer, aren't you?

Between "I am a engineer" and the gem above ...

I'm starting to think the problem isn't the job market ...

If you are trying to hire somebody worth a frick, it's really bad. People can't even do the most basic math anymore without their phone.

Great if you’re Indian, a woman, an illegal or a Muslim.

Bad if you’re a competent white male American citizen
