Boomers had life handed to them on a silver platter. They didn't do things right they just lucked out big time.

That is the old way of doing it. Now you show up in person each day, and offer to work for free till they choose to hire you. Ideally you should send them lots of custom made software or other services up front first via email, and continue to do that until they hire you. Make sure when you come each day to bring meals and donuts for the office staff.

Found the boomer. No matter what excuses you bring up you're going to be wrong bud.

>>56518613
401k program came out in 1978. Employers basically forced the boomers onto retirement plans that made them wealthy beyond what they would have made just working for a pension.
Now boomers have saturated and inflated the stock markets so badly that nobody else can benefit in the same way.

Thats over, you should focus on having a personal site and a web presence for your professional side. To get a job is to tell your narrative to some HR drone but to get there you have to be "visible" which is different now than boomer's time.

Back when you could do that on one retard's job income? And by take care of them you mean pay the bills with your high school dropout job, totally ignore the kids because you can just send them outside in a high trust society, and get drunk every night because you don't need to actually be good at your job due to lack of competition and beat your wife cause she can't leave anyway. Based society destroyer

>pestering my potential future employers until they get annoyed with me and finally give me a job.
I dunno, but it's my newly adopted strategy. Job hunting has a way of humbling you and making you shameless. Kind of like online dating. I use to mull over my first message for an hour or more and now I spam "let's go on a date" within seconds of matching. You've gotta do that with resumes, emails, and calls too.

It's a CoD interactive cut scene. Just keep spamming the X button.
