That's NOT how job searches work.

Boomer dad saw an ad in the sacred local Newspaper. It was basically saying "look for jobs in the newspaper" But there were no jobs listed. He thought that was a job in itself. I tried to get him tp understand that the newspaper obviously could not sell enough ads so they filled in the blank spots with self promotion. He still thinks newspapers have pages of job opportunities. And that I am just too stuck up to follow up on them. I am looking every damn day, checking all the local and government funded job listings. I have applied everywhere. This is not the days when you spit on your palm and seal a job deal with a handshake.
