    Even if you don’t qualify, job hunting is just throwing your resume to the wall and see what sticks. You got nothing to lose by applying.

        and self esteem when a CV scanning AI sends you an automated rejection e-mail how you’re not qualified to work a job that specifically has “no qualifications or experience needed!” written in the listing

        logic knows it’s bullshit, but man, it still stings to read

          Every rejection email is a sting too. Even if you knew you weren’t going to get the job but applied anyway because what the hell, knowing that you’re not going to get that dream job at Nintendo still hurts a little when you find out.

      Yeah except then they make you fill out a really long form to actually apply because no one accepts CVs anymore

        Eh, fuck em.

        Send it anyway. One of em might read it.

        Maybe even call you bold for applying that way.
