If you’ve lost your job, you’ll likely receive career advice from your family, friends, co-workers and online gurus. While some of the guidance means well, be cautious and take it with a grain of salt. It's harmful to offer sweeping generalizations as every job market is different.
Rage applying is just a cute TikTok term for shotgunning your résumé to several companies because you feel overlooked or mistreated at the office. It's no different than the old-fashioned searching for jobs online and submitting résumés. The difference is that the ragers may not be thinking clearly. Their anger and resentment may cloud their judgment.
In a competitive market, if you push too hard, the company will just put you aside and continue looking for another candidate who is not as difficult and strident in their demands. They’ll worry that you’ll be argumentative and pushy when it comes to daily matters, if you get the job.Human resources and hiring managers want someone who wants the job. If you are coy and unclear about how you feel about the opportunity, and plenty of other applicants are available, they’ll just move on.
By saying this, the hiring manager doesn't have to worry about a competing or counteroffer. There is political capital spent getting an offer approved. At large companies, it has to get approved through a bureaucracy of people and red tape. If the person later rejects the offer, it makes the people involved look bad. It's easier to just hire the person who wants it the most and possesses the right skills and background.Career trajectories don’t always have to be linear.
