Yes !
you can get a job as long as you are less than 40 years old, An American Citizen and fit into all the required criteria for a job.
HOWEVER!
Here is THE! TRUE and UNGODLY reality! Those who are heads of depts,such as managers supervisors or any other hiring authority will not hire unless totally necessary. This vacancies are all bonus proned; Meaning of this positions will not be filled; they got to get the job done with a few and if so acconplished the heads will get their bonus. Also it is who you know and not WHAT you know !

I had sample after sample of people who get their own in on the basis of acquaintances, family ,favors ,political, ethnic and etc etc .Also whoever gets a position , has the power to create an empowered group that does not allow anyone else in IF! they don't want to and honestly that exist among the ethnic(whites,blacks,latinos ,etc,etc) groups creating gangs and turfs within the work environment to empower themselves for job security ;empowerment and permanance. YYYES this is USA but from the door on in it is a different story. No Democracy no EOE no nothing! Just total rule of the strongest in the jungle

PS What to do ?? wing it ! Look for the best,check if you fit under grade offered and apply aaaand cross your fingers ! It is not a guarantee but from where I'm standing it's higher ground, I can see the enemy and his tactics! GOOD LUCK.If you don't belive me . DO! your own research and comparison and you will see then!

PSS NO! I havent been able to get a job because I exploded too soon and told them off! They can be racist , discriminative , NO! EOE and down right EVIL! so with all this said and done! NO FEAR! TRY ANYWAY AND FIGHT ON > I SURE WILL! NOTHING IS OVER UNTIL THE FATLADY SINGS OR I will DIE TRYING! I have so many stories of guys and gals who have fallen and gotten up and tried,tried,tried until you get them so tired that they give it to ya! Their respect is hard to win! They think that because they won that they are better than us! And they are is just flesh and bone and they will die off ! Gad luck! Nothing is forever over ! remenber that! This is the truth! Let the chips fall where they may!
