Reply to comment by GenderqueerPapaya in [OC] My partner’s 2 months job hunt as a Product Manager (UK, 4 years xp) by fryd_rice_all_rise

If you haven't got a single interview, it means at least one of the points:

  1. You apply for much too ambitious positions you are not qualified for

  2. You sent very few applications during last 2 years

  3. Your documents are very bad prepared so they don't even want to talk to you

​

Otherwise they would at least invite you and then reject. Try to be honest with you and think about it, the best you can do is to find an expert and pay him once some money so he can tell you what is the problem - as far as you are not afraid of truth. And you shouldn't be, it's very important.

I promise you none of that is the case. The problem is that I am disabled, and cannot drive, and live in a place with no public transportation. I can only take jobs that are 100% remote. However, many remote jobs still require you to live in a certain place, or have 3+ years experience, require a bachelors degree, don't pay the minimum wage in my state and therefore wont hire me, or are remote but still require you to go places (like someone who goes into stores shopping for people), or are literally just scams. I don't have much work experience since I became disabled at 19. Things are not the same for everyone, and I think it's shocking that you came to the conclusion you did even after seeing how many autorejects that OP got? Plus, there are so many people trying to get jobs that it's hard to even be considered.

Germany has a low unemployment rate (and decent welfare), there is less demand of workers for every position. In other countries, they receive so much applications for a possition they don't look at them all and pick the first decent ones they find for an interview.
