This skeet somewhat brought to you by a) wanting UBI but also b) seeing what we did at work to fill one position in our group -- we had the job ad open for two weeks and HR told us we got nearly 1800 responses in that time. :\

I heard the totals for when my team posted new technical writing positions recently, and they made my heart hurt on a near-cellular level.

This shouldn't be controversial but when I bring it up with family/friends they're just like "Well those 999 people just need to keep applying!" There AREN'T JOBS FOR THEM. THAT IS WHAT I AM SAYING. "Yes there are!" Gnnnnghhhhhhhhhh
