Mine too. You need an "in". People want someone already vouched for by a current or former employee whom they trust to make a good call on quality control.

Another one of the harsh truths: digital technology has made the traditional "job search" almost useless. Any employer who puts up an opening will get bombarded with resumes from people using a shotgun approach.

Nowadays you NEED to develop the skill of cold approaching prospective employers and gaming them.

That's true. I've never gotten a job by a traditional application process.

^ Good advice and true I won't hire anyone who I don't know someone in the same trade unless I know someone who's worked with them.

Everyone needs to think about this there's a very fine line to walk between owning your own business or working for someone if you're the guy that can get hired in one minute you need to run your own shit.

A few months back I found a temp job at a distribution facility. The pay was minimum wage and the work was manual labour. I just wanted to make a few bucks over the holidays.

When I was there, I spoke to a lot of the other temps. Many of the younger guys working there had degrees in STEM subjects. I'm talking about CS, IT, Engineering, Chemistry. One of them mentioned that he'd submitted over 600 resumes and this was the only work he could find. These guys had already been out of school for a year. I didn't see any entitlement, I saw disappointment. They'd pulled their socks up, studied a useful subject and they were still pissing away in a manual labour dead end job.

I'm graduating with a math degree in a few months so I'm trying to get a job lined up. I've applied to nearly a hundred entry-level jobs, only receiving two phone interviews.

A lot of my friends are applying to grad school. I wanted to get some work experience before going down that route but I'm beginning to think this was a mistake. Even an entry level position that pays slightly above the minimum wage is highly competitive these days.

Any chance that you're in Ontario?

Toronto (GTA) is one of the most competitive job markets in the world. I will try to find the article later but we have the most per capita university grads.

If not craft beer, what do you suggest we drink instead? Miller Light?

Hell no.

Good alcohol, like good food, is one of life's pleasures. I don't like wine, but I like good beer and hard liquor.

What would you prefer? That we drink Miller Lite? How about pisswater shit like Coors? Is that what you want? Would that pass the bar of "coolness"?

Life is too short to eat shit food, drink shit alcohol, and be with shit women.

Lol...

As for "collecting bottlecaps", and all that other "microbrewery" culture, nobody I know does any of that bullshit.

So when I go to the liquor store and want to buy beer, I buy good stuff. Not pisswater.

What kind of a tool spends 15 tweets to rip into the non-existent problem of "craft beer"?

Go fuck yourself, G Dorkifesto. Straight from the heart. You and your "custom suit."

I love craft beer and spend too much money on it, but when you hit up a tasting counter or a micro-brewery, 98% of the time it's a ridiculous hipster dude behind the bar. I think that's what he means.

[Travesty]

[Rush87]

I get the craft beer hate. Where I'm from: Typically the people drinking craft beer are hipster wanks who circle jerk to the latest Bjork album. My favourite beer is the cheapest one.

[Quintus Curtius]

Brewing beer is not a job for pansies or wusses. It's hard work. Just because some hipster dork works behind the counter at a fucking bar doesn't mean you should disparage the job.

I could show you a thousand photos of Wall Street pussies who think they're important because they watch numbers on a computer screen.

I could show you a thousand photos of government flunkies who think they're important because they do nothing all day.

Brewing is a blue collar job with tradition and dignity. It is serious physical work. Unlike being a faggot running around nightclubs in a custom suit, and announcing to the world how alpha you are on Twitter.

Look at that last photo above. Look at that guy's bicep. He's put you in a fucking headlock and pound your ass.

Try doing an honest day's work in your life, rather than being some day-trading, drug sniffing, limp dick pogue talking like a fake tough-guy on Twitter.

[Travesty]

Have I doxxed you on accident QC?

Too bad that guy is probably 5'7" listens to Bjork on repeat and has a polyamorous relationship where his girlfriend has a bisexual artist guy on the side while he watches.

[weambulance]

Craft beer, who knew it was so polarizing? It's like that time I stumbled into a vicious argument about whether or not American cheese is real cheese (it is).

[Fortis]

What's wrong with craft beers? I see it as something like cooking: no one is gonna bitch about a beer or a meal being too good.

[Travesty]

^ The problem is craft beer isn't good. It is flavored like it is made for 12 year old girls.

Pumpkin Spice, Blonde Honey Ale, Sweet Ginger Cock, Hazelsack Porter... the list goes on....

Have a Marlboro Red and a Budweiser like a goddamn man.

I think it's more about the pretentiousness of the drinkers. They can be like the vegans of the beer world. Or the one douche at a cookout who thinks he knows everything about steak - he can be as chatty as a woman.

Why the hate for Coors? It tastes pretty good after a long day of busting your ass outside.

[Repo]

Travesty, no offense but it doesn't sound like you know alot about craft beers. I'm not a huge beer person myself but there are plenty of craft beers much stronger than the ones you listed with much higher alcohol content. Frankly a Budweiser is weak as shit compared to many of them, both in flavor and alcohol content. This kind of sounds like making fun of someone for enjoying a quality steak, and telling them to eat a Walmart one like a man.

Unless if I missed sarcasm, if so I apologize.

[RexImperator]

I think Coors is the worst of the major breweries and I avoid it when possible. I'd much rather drink Bud or Miller.
