The new “entry level” jobs mean you must have at least three years experience doing a similar job, or only one year if you have your Masters. No, I don’t have previous experience working in a museum or speaking Spanish. But I did have plenty of classes about statistical analysis. I guess I wasn’t good enough to get an interview for an $11.50/hr job as your evaluation assistant. Good luck on your second attempt at posting that job. If you are going to post a job and include “must have excellent writing skills,” you might want to double-check your own posting for spelling and grammatical errors. When I come in for an interview, please have the decency to let me know that I did not get the job. I took the time out of my workday to come in and talk to you. I wish I could take back my “thank you” letter. When you do give me a rejection letter, please do not start off by telling me how you received so many qualified applications and unfortunately I was not one of them. Fuck this shit.—Anonymous

Newsflash: the supply of young hipsters exceeds the demand. We are building lots of one bedroom apartments with leaks and no parking for you to sit in before you leave for greener pastures. Have you noticed that all the new businesses in close-in NE/SE are tattoo parlors
or eateries? There are no real jobs. If you feel really down and want to end it all- just volunteer for Operation Nightwatch.
Take the black and head for the wall, son. Seriously, there are no jobs at all in Portland, and this place is so passive aggressive sissified, do you really think that a prospective employer is going to do the decent thing and tell you you didn’t get it? Hell no! So just flood the market with your resume, go to every interview and patiently wait and wait by the phone. Or move to Seattle, where they at least know how to conduct business as far as the west coast goes.
