Something we can relate to part 3

Continuing the tradition started by gener7, and continued by Peru Bob, we invite you to, “Something we can relate to part 3.” This is the Adobe Community place to post, “relevant cartoons, photo edits, memes and other assorted witticisms.” Here's a classic to start us off in 2024:

I also worked at age 15 back when jobs were filled immediately.  Nowadays, businesses post ghost jobs -- jobs that don't exist yet. 

Due to high attrition rates, HR depts recruit applicants year round even when they don't have positions to fill.  This ensures a steady stream of worthy candidates to call when needed.  It's a "hurry up & wait" buzkill for anyone seeking a job in the current marketplace.  😝 

I used a temp agency to land my full-time job at a university medical center.  At the time, it was the best way to get a foot in the door  because HR didn't have the staff or desire to recruit & screen hundreds of applicants. Cold-call applicants rarely if ever got a call back. The trial by fire test lasted 1-2 months after which they offered temps a permanent salaried position with full benefits. 

My advice to young college grads is to get an internship if you can.  And don't bring your parents to a job interview.
