There’s no pic, but I’ve sent out tons of applications, all for places saying they’re “urgently hiring” and only got one interview. Went to the interview, never heard back from the company.

I don’t see why companies think that’s okay to be so choosy when they’re hurting for help. Then they shut down with the excuse saying “Nobody wants to work” when they’re hurting have stacks of literal hundreds of applications.

Quick edit: I’ve been applying for not only entry level jobs, but also skilled labor for shipping. This is especially frustrating after I was recently laid off and severed from my old job in shipping, where I worked for three years and also was a candidate for promotion until the business started tanking.
