I know the market is ass rn, I’ve been looking for a job since I graduated in November of last year with no luck. Every application I get a response like “you are great, your skills are great, you meet every criteria but we found someone better”. I recently decided to start replying to emails to ask why I wasn’t picked (I reply only to emails that aren’t from no-reply or if the say I can ask for feedback). So far I have not even received one reply. Am I wasting my time??? I feel like it’s just from automated systems and they don’t even look at it. Is everything literally a ghost job?? If you have ever asked for feedback have you gotten anything useful from it?

    When I got my last rejection letter, he told me he would help me find a job. I haven’t heard anything since I followed up over a month ago.

    I was also told things about the other candidates and was led to believe my chances were better than they apparently were. Unprofessional at best. Fucking sadistic at worst.
