rpanons | ゴメンナサイ

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

sure, that's always a possibility, anon. they could also turn out to be a terrible fit. you can't always hire everybody, and that's that. it sucks, but it's probably nothing personal.

Explain this then.

How the hell is anyone supposed to get started if no one bothers to look at the unconnected people? This is a fucked up broken system.

really depends on what field you're trying to break in to, and what level you're aiming for. most everyone starts out as unconnected, you just have to find the right way to get your foot in, to make your connection. i don't disagree that the system is pretty fucked up though and it'll probably take a lot of rejection before you make it in. it sucks, but you can't give up if it's something you really want.

(yeah i know, easier said than done, but if you give up it'll never happen, right?)

imo it's not really any business' responsibility to help anyone "get started". it's great when they can, but they're trying to keep their current employees afloat and make some money on top of that, too. maybe big corporations have money to burn like that, but since when is a big corporation going to give a shit about a rando trying to get their career started?

like the other anon said, new hires are a gamble -- they're also more expensive. it's a lot of time and money to sink into training someone new from the ground up. that's why employers like referrals if they're going to hire someone outside the company; if you need a job done, and someone you know and trust vouches for somebody who can do that job, why would you take a risk on someone you know nothing about when you have someone with a stellar review right in front of you?

if you're looking for jobs in a field where word of mouth and connections are the only way to get something, then you gotta get some connections. that's the answer. there's no way around it.

yeah, it sucks, and yeah, in a perfect world we'd be able to carefully weigh every candidate objectively and make the most logical choice. but that's just not how it works.

you start at the bottom just like the people who now have the connections did. i guarantee you that very few people just walk in off the street and get hired for a high-level position; the vast majority start off in an entry-level position and then work their way up.

Why do people always assume that the positions people are applying to are high level positions when even entry level work is subject to this problem?
