    I’ve interviewed people over the years in IT.

    A lot of candidates are complete morons, regardless of experience or education. We hire the people who show competence in the interview… a lot of people simple have zero.

    and in helping some friends/people over the years get job… usually the biggest issue is how they don’t actually properly apply or sell themselves. They blast out some generic shitty resume/cover letter for every job and just expect it will get them hired, instead of tactfully marketing themselves to the employer.

    Applying to jobs is a skill, like any other.
