people don't wanna work anymore: a boring rant

For some reason I seem to be unhirable. I've had glowing reviews and references from every job and boss I've ever had but it never seems to make the difference when I'm one of 100 people applying somewhere decent. I almost never get to interview and when I do, I'm very introverted and come across as too intense. I have to settle for the low hanging fruit.

That said, once I'm in somewhere I usually get increased responsibility almost immediately. In this job I get a lot freedom to do the things I feel are highest priority and the best use of my time, and that's thanks to that same manager. It's not a total grind, even if it is a shit job in the end.
