If anything it's the internet that's the problem.

Back in the day all it took was making the effort to show up and giving a firm handshake. Now there are thousands of applicants and about four or five jobs.

The firm handshake worked great until I met an employer who was higher Dan in Judo than me.

Yeah because those four or five job let you actually survive in today’s economy
