Where the hell are all of the jobs? (hexbear.net)

Not really talking about the current job situation, but do you ever notice how there are no postings for really obscure positions that definitely exist but are never posted anywhere? I feel like David Graeber would have a lot to say

Second this. Also, get a friend who can take a referral call and can vouch for you as your manager. I've applied to literally thousands of jobs and the only job I've ever applied to that actually followed up on my contacts was a job with a state university because they have a rigid structure for their hiring process.

I gotta try this, but I am too lazy to even run a YouTube channel

Do you have to? Say you are employed by a YouTuber, doesn't need to be a real guy or the guy doesn't really need to have you hired. The fuckers don't play fair, why should you?
