- dakna 7y agoOne of the requirements for unemployment benefits is that you are actually looking for work and can proof a certain number of applications per week. It makes sense to just randomly apply as long as the applications count towards the minimum number needed to stay eligible.
- bearjaws 7y agoI am aware of this, but that doesn't mean people should waste others time, and if it gets bad enough I am going to put automation in front of it. Everyone loses in these scenarios.
- whitebread 7y agoThis sounds like an unfortunate domino effect, where our legislation forces the unemployed to jump through ridiculous hoops, and in desperation to get $$ they start passing out resumes like hotcakes. To me they are a symptom of a broken system, and I want to direct my ire at the government rather than them.
- jeltz 7y agoIn Sweden we have temporarily removed this requirement during COVID-19, presumably to avoid swamping employers with pointless applications.
- thisone 7y agoDoes unemployment benefits still demand you apply for X number of jobs? Could be a cause.
- nkozyra 7y agoIf you're going to apply to something for which you have no experience, why not go big? CTO, CEO, VP of Bizdev?
