How do I explain a 3 year gap post uni?
>>108342929Get a shit job first. I used to put food in boxes. Sometimes, the work was slightly different, and I would put those boxes into other boxes. I have zero sympathy for any recent graduates I see on /g/. Adult life is nightmare mode.
>>108342929Freelancing
>>108342982Coul I see some projects you did while freelancing?>inb4 ndalol come on
>>108342964stfu they only care about women putting retail bullshit on there, shut the fuck up foreigner cunt>>108342982stfu you retard just make something up, don't just put "freelancer" fiverr indian
>Failed behavioral because Stacy didn't like meEvery single time.
>>108343078Well, the important thing is you haven't turned into a seething nigger.
>>108343039Put ubereats
>>108342982Outside of web dev? Recruiters see right thru this.>>108342929>How do I explain a 3 year gap post uni?You don't. Your best bet now is using connections to try and land a job.
>only a few months left to escape the permanent underclass>but I also need to get leg lengthening surgery ASAP and that will set me back $100k>unemployed and like 15k in debtthe walls are closing in on me
>>108342929Don't think too much about your weakness, just try to position yourself as the best candidate as possible. If they have doubts during interview, just shrug it off with some personal excuses (I am traveling), you are not there to explain your life stories. Be confident.
>>108343078most professional women work their asses off, shutup loser
>>108343243>You don't. Your best bet now is using connections to try and land a job.As in I'm blacklisted? Why??
>>108343405There's no such thing as blacklisting. The most a previous employer will say is that you aren't eligible for rehire and there are many completely innocent reasons for this. Most employers will not even say that if they are big enough to have a professional HR department. Just say you took a sabbatical, you don't need to overthink this.
>>108343528thanks, you are my uncle now
>staffing agency tells me they have a contract open for a two week wfh data entry job>pay is shit but it's chill, who cares>supposed to start tomorrow>just got word that it was cancelled
>>108343039Just vibe some projects. Say you hosted it on your own git server if they wonder about commit history.
>>108342598I want to die bros
I enjoy shilling the military (though being an unemployed veteran doesn't really help my case) as an option to young/lost and confused people, but it's starting to seem more like the only option for anyone who didn't graduate from MIT or have good nepotism connections. This job market is real bad bros. Genuinely feels like the military is the easiest way to get a desk job at the moment, which seems... backwards. >inb4 y-you're shilling for the military! uhh yeah, I think I'm being pretty transparent about that.
>>108344938why is she wearing camouflage indoors?
>>108343979Have you signed anything? Read the fine print, usually they can't just "cancel" work if you expect payment. You have rights.
>>108344938Only job I'm considering right now are either MCWO or CWE, but the reason I haven't gone thru with it yet is the training process. I'm fit, not sure if I'm fit enough though.
>>108344942That's the standard work uniform, though Air Force recruiters tend to give so little of a shit about the rules that she was probably in civvies 10 minutes before and after this picture was taken. >>108344989Based. I shit on the Navy a lot because they have the worst tuition assistance of all the branches, but that doesn't matter too much because you already have your bachelor's, and ship life sounds miserable, but I doubt those rates go to sea much (if at all).
>>108344942who?
>>108344942Who do you mean?
>>108343329Shiori is such blacked bait its insane
>>108342598reddit general naming is the reason you are getting 5 people replying nigganever in my life i have searched for a thread based on acronym
>>108344938Yeah, that's about the stupidest thing you can do right about now. Especially coming from a vet such as yourself I would think you have some common sense. Coming as a vet myself. Stay the fuck away from these idiots. They will promise you the world but its all lies. If you show even a semblance of talent towards anything data and electrical related you will be the first people to be fucked over the most. Hope you enjoy sitting in a SCIF for 12 hours a day for 5-6 days a week. While the Stacey and retard Jim in the workhshop just down the hallways gets to be off at 2PM nearly every day. Because that's whats going happen to you smartass. And the outside world Doesn't give a shit about you either, to you and the retard Jim. You're both the exact same. And he just got picked up for a cushy Goverment contractor job for 150k a year while you get shafted and thrown on the side walk.Welcome to the military. The REAL nepobaby daycare center.
Pro dev here.You think getting the higher end subscriptions for ChatGPT or Claude (200+$) are worth it?I don't what more they can do than the subscription I currently have for ChatGPT/Codex. But I wouldn't mind getting it if it saves me half the time I need to do my job.Anyone has tried it?
>Shitpost on LinkedIn about a worthless cert I just got >Dude who was previously looking out for me (but I think has since given up) messages me congratulating me on getting a job as an engineer >I am still unemployed >I guess he misread my post or something I don't know how to reply to this. Maybe I should just play videogames and hope a plane crashes into my apartment and solves all my problems.
>>108342929Just be honest? "I'm autistic and was raised by a single mother who was fine with me rotting away in my comfy bed but what I really want to do is create useful software.". In fact, former neets with tons of gaps should actually be hire valued because 1. they're willingly giving up the neet life to work totally on their own accord not because their parents force them and 2. they are far more desperate and will work harder than normgroids who probably have friends and family that loves them and shit allowing them to just throw their career away whenever they feel like, neets don't have that.
>>108342929Stealth Startup.
>>108346488>random whoreshe is jewish
>>108346110are you a professional neet?
>>108346535exactly people need to be more respectful, stupid goym
>>108346488The Swede is correct. The Market is the only Fair, Just, and Free arbiter of value.
what do you guys wear for online interviews? is polo shirt okay?
>>108342929just say you took a long gap year travelling south east asia and shit, "enriching your horizons" or something like that. If they ask, just say your parents paid for it.
>>108346110> Just be honest? "I'm autistic and was raised by a single mother who was fine with me rotting away in my comfy bed but what I really want to do is create useful software.".

>>108347158hoodie and wackoff shorts
>>108342929Just tell them you did some prison time
>>108347158I wear my nicest polo shirt and cleanest jumper. The trick is to look like even your most casual clothes are pretty nice. Don't wear anything that isn't casual; nobody wears a tie at home.
>>108342929Prison sentence. You were inside, you won the remote control and ran the wing. Not much else to say apart from you don't put up with any nonce furry shit.
>>108344938Trump's sending troops to Iran, so there's plenty of opportunities for unemployed losers.
>>108348057go die in the middle east while youre being replaced by jeets stateside
>>108348898That's exactly what the tech overlords want.
>apply to some boomer manufacturing company for a helpdesk role>its $22 an hour>they ask me for two referencesare you fucking shitting me? I've done full loop with faang like three times for $150k+ positions and they've never fucking asked me for a single reference, but these cocksuckers that want to torment me for $40k a year also want to know that im a good little goyslave.fuck this
>>108349491It's a standard over all industry, you don't have any reference at this point?
>>108349522>It's a standard over all industry,No it fucking isn't. You just made that up. I've worked like 5 different jobs and this is the first time I've been asked for references. >you don't have any reference at this point?No I've never bothered collecting them because I've never been asked, and I can't get any now because my last job was a startup that I got laid off from a year ago.
some dude was handing out his son's resume at work so i decided to take a look at it>CS graduate>no internships>bunch of weebshit everywhereISHYGDDT
>>108349538just reach out to your previous colleagues and ask them for help, not really a big of deal unless you are feeling ashamed?
>>108349583>you've been unemployed for a year?>oh... and you want a reference from me? for a helpdesk job...?fuck you
>>108343400Yes they do offer their anuses for promotion.
>>108349590I am not laughing at you. If you just want a paid job temporarily, just do what you gotta do. I understand it's difficult to get pass the fear of what other people think about you. Just stop give a shit about others and live your life.
Okay I think I figured out how to bypass the commies trying to prevent poor people from starting businesses by requiring minimum wage for companies before they even have income and not after. You just start an LLC and you can hire your pals as contractors and don't have to pay them minimum wage. Who's ready to start a software company? ITwerks was already taken desu we need to call it something else.
>>108349935Call it HumanTech; people like humans and it'll play on the fact you're not going to be using AI. I'll work for you. What will I be doing?>>108349590What do you care? These niggas obviously didn't respect you that much to begin with, or you'd still be working there.
>>108350807Uhhh we need to write software for businesses. Software the saves them 100 bucks so then they pay us 50 bucks. It's going to be a 3 month contract I just need you fill out a W9 and send it over to me. We should probably use jira instead of open project for because big fancy companies use jira right?
Guys, I can write all the software for free / exposure and references.
>>108350807>or you'd still be working there.the entire fucking company went bankrupt and shut down you fucking
>>108343400>most professional women work their asses off,yeah doing nothing useful
>>108350869>Guys, I can write all the software for free / exposure and references.
>>108350869We'll split profit evenly among all the anons until 10k sounds good? I just put that in the contractor contract right?
okay for realsies, I own the software, even split of gross revenue deduct expenses payed quarterly for uhhh five years, quit anytime. You can use jira for free for up to 10 anons so how many anons should we hire 5 or 10? Deadline is in three months and we have to invent a software for businesses and market it and everything.
>>108345994If you're regularly running into rate limits, consider upgrading, otherwise it's wasteful.
I can't wait to get banned by the janny again!
>>108349590you don't have to tell them where you are applying; just sugar coat it by saying you are interviewing for bunch of positions including some "backup" plans. Tell them you are applying for sales positions too so would appreciate they could highlight the team-player aspects; you are worrying too much, no one cares.
>>108349225it appears that the die is cast and the united states is but an economic zone for jeets and a private military for israel. shouldve learned chinese years ago before our neighborhoods became majority indian
>>108345994I'm going just fine with gemini-cli and the free tier. When I feel I need a bit more I just setup an API key and a 3h session around $10. Results are excellent, as long as I'm specific and give context (code, brainstorming, document parsing, query generation and more)
>>108342929You were finding yourself in Detroit
>>108342929NDAThen just make a bitchin' profile
>>108342598Where does one get a freelancing job nowadays when tools like lovable exist?
The worst part is everyone kicks you while you're down. I'm doing everything I need to be doing - working on projects, applying to jobs, studying my stack, practicing leetcode. I have zero doubt in my mind that I'll get a six figure SWE job eventually. But because I don't have the results right now, and I haven't had them in months, everyone thinks I'm wasting my time. I've had braindead coworkers at my shitty part time telling me I'm wasting my time because of AI or some bullshit. They've never made more than $25 in their entire lives, but they're telling me I'm wasting my time. Even parents and family tell you the same shit. They will never understand.
>>108351629It is, but you're right. Things are tough, but evidence shows the hype is stabilizing and companies are adapting to hire tech-savvy people who know how to use AI effectively and safely. New jobs will arise and others will die, just like in the industrial revolution.Keep growing, keep learning and ignore the noise.
>>108351671Personally I am disgusted by the whole state of things and I want everyone to die.
Is getting a COMPTIA+ certification a good way to get your foot in the door for IT work?
>>108352190Trifecta is good for getting into help desk yeah
>>108351671>just like in the industrial revolutionBefore: artisan weaver, bucolic lifeAfter: 12 hours a day in a factory, malnutrition, dark satanic mills
I just got the call. I have been offered a job as a junior backend developer. WGMI
>>108352190honestly it's not a guarantee of anything, you should get a few more skills under your belt in order to increase your chances. Pick up some python/bash scripting skills, something more
