Yes, we are Unemployed. No, that does not mean we are Unemployable. Let's change the Unemployable to the Unemployed in Unemployed Tech Workers General. We need to acquire a second career to reboot our first career. Tech work for the sake of Tech working, just to get money, iwas always boring and now is just a dead-end. We were smart enough to make computers do things so we stopped at that, and the jeets caught up by impostoring. So let us continue to do smart things that pay well once again, which the jeets cannot impostor so easily. What's next UTWG?
I am going to study and switch to another Engineering field. I won't be coming back to IT for less than $200k. FTW. Eat a dick jeets: I won't be around to do your jobs for you anymore. And NO you cannot close the ticket until you actually resolve the ticket.
>>106584667u sound like lesbian.I think I am going to watch cam girls today, I did not see any job on my rss feed.
>>106584847Nope. I am a Straight White Man of pink-hue. hence: unemployed.
Okay yeah so you're going to want an omni 802.11ax light weight access point every 50 feet (they go in the ceiling) alternating channels 1>6>11, a LAN controller running CAPWAP to detect rouge APs, an IPS device to detect other hackers, and setup RADIUS configured for the networks subnets. Oh and wpa3 obviously.
>>106585128what manufacturer and models do you recommend for the hardware performing this?GREAT PROJECT
i think i was at least one of the first if not the first to put "unemployable" in the title and i dont apologize
>>106585153Uh Cisco? Also make sure SSIDs are all the same so an ESS is created and it's all one big network.
>>106585165if you can employ yourself for $0 then you are employable. Maybe there should be two UTWGs then.
>>106585177Instead of up in the ceiling, what access point would you recommend for outdoor use. Every 50 feet is too frequent for this application. What should I use for outdoor stuff?
>>106585207>access point for outdoor usewhen i was on ye botes we had wifi installed outside and it was just a normal AP in a waterproof case. companies that sell cable management shit sell whats essentially a Pelican Case(tm) without a handle
>>106585286ACKrecommended power source?
>>106585325Whatever came with the AP. Those cases have cable glands and you can fill it even further with what we affectionately called "dogshit" (idk the real name of the compound but it's basically synthetic clay and then you seal it further by mixing it thinner but impregnating it into gauze)
>>106585344Wrong.>>106585325We will purchase APs that support PoE (power over ethernet) so they'll just draw power from the switch.

I've always been lucky with doing bare minimum and basically neeting in college but now I must do my thesis, the pain is immense, my prof is so chill I feel bad for delaying it, I need motivation...

Alright anons, please help me out.I just want a shitty, boring, minimum wage, customer service-type shitty job that's WFH since I gotta take care of my elderly father and I can't get a normal job at the moment.I have literally 3 years of experience doing just that. I'm unemployed atm, last company fired like 200 people at once and I was one of them.I thought this wouldn't be a problem since my experience would land me a job soon enough but holy shit, it's been 5 months already and I'm fucking desperate.>"keywords on resume" trick>asked AI to fix resume>asked friends what do they think of my resume, trying to be brutally honest, all of them find it amazing and well structured>always asking for less, if job is offering 9$/hr, I'm asking for 7No matter what I do, I don't even go to the interview phase.They just instantly reject my application, sometimes literally minutes after I apply.Idk wtf am I doing wrong. I'm almost pretending to be a jeet and asking for just 3$ /hr, Yes I'm that desperate. Every single penny is currently being funneled to support my father and I'm eating half a ramen per meal for the last month since there's no cash anymore, all my savings are gone.

Give it to me straight.Is it bad that my CV is a 15 line long .txt file?I'm too anxious to look up CV advice or other people's CVs because it makes me feel nervous and bad about myself. Could my CV be stopping me from getting a job?

I'm now at 4 initial interviews with 160 applications.This is a horrible hit rate but at least it's better than 0 now. Things are looking up, bros.
>>106595022I'm at three initial interviews (so far one proceeding to technical) against 13 applications.
>>106595076Nice. Sounds like you won't be in this general long.
>>106595606Hopefully. I do have savings to last a while though.
>>106595022Floating around 300+ apps in past month. only in 4 full interview cycles atm.Hit rate is ass and im still very unsure if these companies actually want to hire people in general.
Did something happen recently that made people admit the job market is shit and the economy is fake? I mean that's been true for a long time, but I would regularly see posts about how hot the job market is (who writes this shit?) until like a week ago, when it seems like a flip switched and now everyone is saying we're all fucked.
>>106596701>I mean that's been true for a long timenot to this level
>>106595789any chance you could share a dummied out resume? no idea what I'm doing wrong
>>106596701>I mean that's been true for a long timeI don't know what you mean by "a long time" since the job market was burning hot three years ago.
This looks about right right?
>>106596701Youth unemployment doubled and overall unemployment finally went up.Unemployment is probably the most massaged statistic ever created, so it's a pretty big deal when they can't even lie to you with that one.
what do people mean when they say they only apply to like 20 jobs in a week ? it doesn't take more than a minute and in some cases literally just a single click to apply to a job. are they tailoring their resume for each single job post? seems like a massive waste of time.
>>106597005I apply to like five a month. I want to get a job that a) I'm qualified to do b) I'd want to do.
>>106597005Every job I ever heard back from took a lot more than a one click application. The ones that are most likely to respond have long applications with short answer questions and initial technical assessments.

>>106596909It basically looks like this. I lifted the template off of somewhere when I was back in school, possibly from the school materials, so it's probably a pretty generic format used in this part of the world (I'm not American). The real one has more body text too.

>>106597246You also need an uppercase.
>>106597246More password validation coders need to be educated about password strength.God damn it annoys to me to no end that there's a password requirement of 8 characters including a special character, and it rejects a 30-character password with no special characters because "it's not strong enough" when it's >3 times the entropy of the minimum requirements.
>>106596701There is only so long you can say to people "everything is fine" when they can't afford shit.

>>106600655>My current location is shit for jobs, what's it like moving and applying for cities when you don't live there yet? How much leeway do they give you to find a place and move your shit there before you start work?I've applied, gotten jobs and moved to: hong kong, denver, seattle throughout my career.For the first one I flew there with a few suitcases. Landed and went into work.For denver, I leased an apartment via video call, rented a minivan 1 way from Ohio. Moved in and went to work.Did a similar 1 way minivan for seattle, but I did a boots on the ground visit to apartment hunt before moving. As you can see, I only ever had a minivan or less of "shit" to move so it was easy to just get on the highway with a rental and get there within a week.The larger the company, the less urgent the start date will be. I've been able to get a start date 2-3 months out with a huge company (10,000+ employees). A startup will be hiring for more urgent need. I'd recommend just getting a good job, liquidating or giving away most of your stuff and starting as simply as possible in the new city.
I'm still unemployed guys. How am I going to make it?I have an ultrasound tomorrow. I hope I'm okay..

>>106601450Well 36 years is a long time. Can you remember when you were 8 or whatever.
I always wonder, how does it make you feel that I, a slav, am taking your job? I have a tech job at an american multinational and I earn very little, $50,000 per year which I understand is a mcdonalds salary in the US. But here its a very comfortable wage so I already have my own non-mortgage apartment and enough money and investments to live on for several years should I choose to quit.I understand that this is not something even Trump can fix, as these companies have subsidiaries all over the world.
>>106597005I apply to 20 jobs a month because that's all that neetbux requires me to do.also I've gave up a year ago and have been unemployed for 1.5 years.
>>106597129Yeah, there's nothing mid level dev wise, at least not remoteAny remote jobs are usually for southern based companies, so give preference to people in the Brum-Cambridge-London belt, or Bristol if they're soi latte drinking poofsUp north everything is hybrid so you need to be in a commutable distance, or tending more towards fully office based againThings are so bad I've been looking at IT again, fuck me they only pay £26-27k for second lineMinimum wage works out around £25k full timeI'd be better off working at McDonald's than IT again

>>106605692I'm mad at everything, that's what, and lost my job, or else I wouldn't be shitposting on this sad board constantly. Reading about constant rejections and then seeing "I just did it because" sure doesn't boost what little confidence I have.
I'm unemployed, but im currently a student. Decided to just finish my Comp Science degree even though I know the industry is dying and I most likely most be able to get a job any where with this degree, but I have rich parents and have a bit of safety net to fall back on. Also will go to trade school if I cant land a job within a year after graduating. One of the most foreboding things ive heard that made me understand that were cooked is that the instructor for one of my classes has a son who decided to skip out on college and take up Auto Diesel Mechanic at his local trade school. Yeah, not following his dad's foot steps and going into Software he wants to work on trucks and big rigs because he knows AI won't take those jobs yet
>>106606564find this hard to believe. where do you think you fucked up? doesn't your advisor have industry connections?also, you're not a doctor.
>>106606564What are you applying to? Where you attempting to line stuff up while doing your doctorate program? Most of the PhD candidates that ended up graduating i know went into some form of high performance computing / research realm.
>>106607088>doesn't your advisor have industry connections?I thought so but it turns out not so much. Pretty much everyone works in academia except people are losing all their funding due to NIH cuts so they are just now starting to leave for private.>where do you think you fucked up?I have zero social skills, I have no idea how to sell myself and I unironically make people very uncomfortable. It sucks. I have zero connections.Yes I am. Not a debate. I literally have a doctorate >>106607143>What are you applying to?Have no idea what I am doing so just applying to anything on linkedin related to AI and genetics or similar. It's annoying because everyone claims extremely specific skill requirments so it's hard to find stuff that feels like I actually should apply. But even then I have found a few places that were pretty much exactly what I did my dissertation on and got nothing from them either.>Where you attempting to line stuff up while doing your doctorate program?No. I don't know why other than the fact that I made some major changes to my dissertation with months to go and was abnormally stressed over all the work I had to do to not get stuck in the program for another semester. But I do know it's 100% my own fault for not doing this early.Trying to avoid research. Postdocs get paid shit compared to industry and I much prefer working in industry anyway. Research is way to open ended I can't focus on a single line. I much prefer being given specific problems to solve.
>>106606564I have no advice for you, but if it makes you feel better I didn't know computational biology was a field that existed, so I'm impressed. Sounds neat.
>>106606564>cites PhD gpaWhat is your h-index and area of research? that's all that really matters right?In any case, ya...society should have a better place for you than retail lol. that is messed

In reality I just need to keep talking with my advisor about what I can do temporarily because I know nothing about this. I have always felt that I am retarded in every single aspect except math/science/computers. I am so determined when it comes to programming and research but have a weird lack of motivation for figuring out jobs
>>106606426Eh you should. It may sound consistory, but its the type of shit you don't realize until you've done enough white collar/tech jobs. Boomers have jack experience with service jobs and younger people will call you raicst for thinking like that.But old fucks have been bitching about it sense the 90s with cisco pulling it.

>>106607769 (me)Not to mention my first papers will not likely get much attention anyway. Even if you look at big names, their initial publications are rarely that interesting or even that closely related to what they became known for later.

I was just wondering if it was an outlier like 0 or something. my brother is sitting at 7 in his final year in genetics/genomics
>>106607805I'm jealous. I have not even gotten that far. I feel the worst part is not even getting rejections in a timely manner. It does feel bad getting rejected from positions with "junior" in the title...not even getting a shot at an interview. What the hell were they looking for if they're explicitly asking for 0-2 years experience but don't interview me.
Just finished intro to networking. Just relational databases and web dev next. Then 8 more classes on study.com then just 17 classes for my degree.
>>106607805The job that was by far the most tailored to my experience is the only job so far linkedin told me someone looked at my profile and downloaded my resume. That was 5 days ago. The listing is no longer accepting applicants :'(>>106608105I wish they would just have an automated system where the reviewer would click a rejection button and you get a sorry email. I want to know that it's over why is that too much to ask? That being said my previous job was the first job I applied to and they didn't acknowledge me for 3 months before offering an interview
>>106608312>That being said my previous job was the first job I applied to and they didn't acknowledge me for 3 months before offering an interviewjesus. here I am getting antsy since I started applying ~3 weeks ago and the most I got was an IBM OA which I think they send EVERYONE anyways.
>>106608105>It does feel bad getting rejected from positions with "junior" in the titleI imagine the junior positions are the most sought after, at least by qualified candidates. Senior positions probably also receive a lot of applications but also from people far from senior.
>>106608332certainly. I think I should start applying to startups and hope they don't go tits up before 2 years so at least I can get 2 years experience and have more opportunity to apply to more experienced roles (SWE II).
>>106608324And it took another 3 months before they followed up on the interview...it's rough. Found out later (don't know why my manager told me) that it took so long after the interview because the guy they wanted to go with ended up turning them down for another job. But still don't know why that would have taken so long. Confident my career would be in a much worse direction if I didn't get the job, it was getting humiliating applying to the later jobs to be some mindless drone. Then even worse getting rejecting by them too.
