When you send your resume via email and they don't even acknowledge it, that isn't because they saw you and figured you not having "worked on yourself enough." You had no agency in their decision. They know nothing about you as a person when choosing to delete your resume without even opening it.
No but thats at the start of a career, which is not what I was talking about. Once youre established, major players on your circuit may well know you by name and not even want a CV. They may approach you.
"Taking" a job would be them giving you an unpaid day or two and seeing if you perform well. That would give you some actual agency over their decision.
That is how some interviews work, to be fair. Ive had interview processes that have lasted up to three and a half days before.
But they can also base their decision on how you perform before you come to them. As Ive already acknowledged, that does depend on you being well-established and therefore well-known within your sector.
Sounds like a privileged position to me. I wasn't born with such capabilities. I'm bottom tier trash so that isn't really an option.
Youre talking shit. I wasnt born into privilege. My position now is privileged, sure, but I had to earn that position from the bottom.
Also, the fact that discrimination is legal doesn't help. It's already too late for me. I was the moment I was born really, but discriminatory factors since then have made it even worse. And I don't mean discrimination as in "picking the better candidate." I mean discrimination on grounds that should not be legal.
Youre a bit of a broken record on this one but any time I ask you to clarify you just ignore the message, which makes me think youre not entirely sincere.
