How do people manage to actually get jobs through online applications (US citizen here)? (lemmy.world)

I'm sure this must sound stupid for many, but I never get any responses, until like 3 days later when I check my spam folder and realize my scheduled interview appointment came from some random server that got deleted as spam mail.

How the hell do people get jobs online? I've only ever landed a job in person.

My problem with that is that Google has a fucking mind all its own and will automatically file whatever the hell it feels like as spam, and I have no clue how to change those options, especially when I have no idea what server to expect an interview schedule email to even come from.

For what it's worth, I've never once had an interview request or professional email go to spam on Google mail. Not once in like 15 years.

Thank you for the useless information. My Google account is over 20 years old, back when GMail was still in beta testing.

How the fuck do you change the spam filter options?

Why would I tell you after you posted such a dickhead reply?

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Because your 'information' is completely useless and doesn't provide any answer to my question.

Apparently Google doesn't even have an answer or solution to the question either.

I'm not fucking stupid, I actually do know how to research things...

Ok cool man. Enjoy continuing to miss interviews I guess. Cya.

Yeah, I'm a BMX rider too, bicycle and vehicle technician as well.

I don't really need an online application anyways, especially if the response is gonna be auto-filed in the trash.

Fuck Google, fuck AI. Thus far, I've gotten more regular work by just showing up in person and showing I know how to turn a wrench and get my hands dirty.
