It reminds me for the guy that applied for 1000 jobs, almost 800 of those emails where ignored, and the only one where he had to go to like, 3 interviews, they still didn't hired him And older generations have the balls to say that GenZ is lazy, when in reality, no one wants to hire you unless you have 1000 years of experience, but how can you get......   reply
