    I had to stop looking at the jobs indeed would suggest that I apply to.

    Who wants a part time job that wants you to work at inconvenient times that’ll block your schedule from other work opportunities.

    I had a phone interview and it was like the guy was telling me “I think you are a worthless piece of sh!t.” Im not looking to make below mini min wage. I’m not looking for jobs without benefits! Any opportunity that devalues my experience and education is not something I’m seeking out and job sites that are promoting these positions my way can go somewhere!

    lol, no. I agree. I've been solicited for jobs where I thought, "why would I want to do that?" or "could I do that? yes, but I don't want to".

    Nope. I never have because generally speaking recruiters don't understand job descriptions beyond the simplest work match on a resume. I usually get entry level enquiries when I have only worked at a senior level for the past 20 years.

    I applied for a job that sounded perfect for me only to find out how low the pay was. So low in fact that I couldn't even consider the position. Wish I could have taken the job, but my reality was that I needed a certain minimal salary to live on.

    I think because of how today's society is driven, the only people who would answer yes to what you are saying are people who live off the grid. Because they either do not have a job bc they established enough savings and learned the skills to live in the wilderness and or they have a job that is closely linked to their lifestyle like forest ranger where it overlaps their day to day. In other professions, you can have your dream job but if you cannot pay your bills or have what your definition of a "comfortable" lifestyle is (because it varies for everyone), would lead to a level of stress and anxiety that your dream job could never make up for. Even rich people have rich people's problems. I guess that it is why it is important for folks to really learn their why and their purpose and know enough about themselves to understand what they are willing to tolerate, and sacrifice to maintain a level of harmony and happiness that suits them. Not sure if I answered your question, but it had me in deep thought mode for a minute.

    So great question!

    Sometimes, when job hunting, it can be hard to find a role that we feel 100% confident in applying for. We often find ourselves stuck between a rock and a hard place, unsure of whether to apply for a role that may not be a perfect fit or settle for a job that doesn't quite meet our expectations. But what if you could find a job that felt like it was tailor-made for you and gave you the freedom to decide on the salary you're willing to accept? Would you take that chance?
