They're going to have the same problem the police and other organizations in the US have very soon then.

If you're going to dig up every piece of dirt on someone and try to eliminate them as a candidate for a job, you will never find a qualified candidate.

In fact, that just tells me you're a loser I don't want to work for and that I dodged a bullet. I once applied for a job at a restaurant when it first opened and they were basically happy if you were breathing. Coworker of mine wrote a help wanted ad a year later and, absolute brown noser type, and her job requirements were basically asking for someone who worked at a fine-dining restaurant in NYC, it was hilarious. We all read the requirements and just had a grand time laughing.

I actually work in a field where sometimes I have to cover for people who are like skilled/certified in the job. Sometimes, I keep telling my boss, I'm not qualified to do that, you know that right? They don't care. They even ask why I don't go to school and get certified. I'm just like, "Nah." I don't think I'm good at it and for various reasons you probably wouldn't understand, If I did get certified, I'd get a terrible assignment and get run out anyways, so what is the point?

That's why I play the lottery, couple bucks a day, well worth the investment to get out of the rat race.

So many jobs pull this stunt these days. They are the ones you hear crying in the news about how they can't find anybody to hire despite a recession or despite a pandemic where people are going to lose unemployment benefits! I lost count of how many jobs I've interviewed for who claim to love all of my stuff then pull out something menial and stupid to bitch about. Often it's that they THINK I live too far from the job that I will eventually quit because of the commute. Even when I try to reassure them they won't even listen, despite that I have solid reasons why a half hour commute ain't shit to me. And I live in a region where MOST people actually commute over an hour to work one way.

They pull at straws to have a problem with every single candidate and then I see the job open again in a month and for months on end, nearly every single time.

They're probably only looking for black women, and you don't fit into one or both of those categories.

I wonder if women are to blame for this? A lot of men usually will hire someone if they like them or think they will work hard. Women are notorious for being flaky.
