>>109710207No, I'm 30 and unemployed. Took a look on Indeed and Linkedin today. I don't know why I still bother, there's almost never anything good on either. But then I got no fucking clue where people find actual job postings anymore.
>>109710253smaller job boards are much better - hiringcafe, wellfound, workable etc. just ask claude
>>109710286I'll look at Hiringcafe, thanks. Wellfound is US only.
>>109710322>Wellfound is US onlyits not. you can enter whatever location you're in.
should I get a job at an MSP?
I made it to the 2nd interview for a field service tech job. The job is servicing tablets for inmates in local prisons. Wish me luck I've been out of tech for four years.
>>109710902yea u will learn a lot>>109710991good luck cutie
Have you ever noticed there are never any unemployed HR people
>>109711374I've seen an entire HR department get laid off at the end of a big round.
>>109711488And yet they'll get hired again immediately elsewhere
>>109711499Sounds like we're in the wrong industry then.
Is twerking a valuable skill nowadays? I'm a cis male
>>109712060>cis maleLolNothing you do is valued
>>109712115Why? If that's really the case, the. I think I should've transitioned or something at this point, instead of wasting years and 1000s of hours into tech to just end up as a neet
>>109712675how do we solve the NEET final issue when mummy dies and we become homeless?
how am i supposed to start a family and get hoes if im 30 and unemployedthis is not FAIR I NEED A JOB PAYING ME 90K A YEAR AT LEAST RIGHT NOW
>>109712970I'm 30 and temporarily employed and cant get interviews
>>109712970Amazon warehouse job, they take anyone at least for two months

having to verify my ID to get a cybersec cert got me feeling a certain kind of way
a retard in motion is always better than a genius at rest
>>109713668retard in motion... is that the company that made those blackberry phones?
I'm too intelligent to be employed. How do I get employed, despite my overwhelming intelligence?
>>109713668not true, the retard in motion usually wrecks shit.
>too much experience for junior positions >too little experience for mid level positions Guess I just die.
>>109715004and cant even get a min wage job to survive since ur also overqualified for thattruly unemployable its wild
>everybody at my shit temp job getting real jobs>i'm getting nothing
>>109712675At least wagie has the dignity of what saving up paychecks can offer to advance and enhance his quality of life and successThe NEET on the other hand is either scrappin for a welfare claim or if he gets rejected for non existent work history or not having the correct paperwork has to embarrass himself leaching off family friends etc who may learn to resent themIts good to help those in need, but give NEETS the bootEven wagies get unemployment benefitsRetard benefits are getting more scarce thanks to Trump
>>109715417yes NEET posting is fucking copei fucking wish i had a job fml
>>109712675Wagie can afford to have a real human girlfriendNEET can fuck his own cheetos handWagie can afford condoms to boneNEET instead finds a way to give themselves dome

Now I do that with a MSc and some work experience, full CV I don't even get a invite. Its really fucked.
>>109713182You should have to verify ID to use public toiletWe don't need no Venezuelan drug lord taking a shit near my son at the local Walmart bathroom
>>109716122Yeah, I know what you mean. In 2019 I got multiple offers. Now I can't even get a rejection e-mail.
>>109712970Fake it till you make it. Everyone with a job bullshitted in some way.
I blame my parents shaming me for trying to talk to people during my childhood for why I'm so bad at interviews. Actually I'm surprised I didn't turn out even worse. But I haven't had an interview in three months, so I guess it doesn't matter anymore! LOL
>>10971612210 years for BsC?
>33 years old>6 years of experience as a developer, total 10 years in IT>unemployed for 6 months>worked in 2 small companies, one no longer exists and the other remais tiny, both completely irrelevant>got nothing concrete to show from either role, I can only talk about the things I did etc but nothing is public facing>basically a full stack code monkey who dabbled on everything and was supposed to make things work... php, python, js/ts, aws shit etc... whatever you can think of I dabbled on and used to get shit done>my frontend skills are basically wiring pre-made react components together>I have some experience bootstrapping full stack apps with claude because I did some freelancing for anthropic through a contractor where I compared model outputs and gave feedbackI don't even know how to start looking or how to sell myself to get another job now. I can basically do whatever, but I'm not a postgresql performance specialist who optimized a specific database to handle 2 million writes per second. The companies I worked for didn't even have HR departments.Maybe I should just open a food truck.
>>109716636yes uni is "free" here and had some other stuff going on.
HUMAN RESOURCES
>>109710991Dont fall for the catcalls and smooth talk when your in there. Theyre only gay for the stay. Theyll all leave you the moment theyre out :(
>>109710207I just got a rapid-response request for an HR interview with a jobs.now gig.Looking up the company shows it's a staffing company, every US employee is Indian, and the main campus is in India.I am a shitter, quintessential ass-projects, didn't work on getting gud post-graduation after giving up 100 applications in sort of CS fucker, so I'd probably fail a technical round even if this IS legit, but should I just do the phone meeting instead of whipping out a camera for this? It looks pretty doomed from the jump.
Another rejection email
>>109717882Use it as an exercise. Theres nothing to lose either way.
guys what should I focus on specialising in if I don't want to deal with AI rubbish?? sys admin, devops? I'm 21 and more of a humanitiesfriend so I have no idea I just want to make money. I'll specialise in anything I just want to know what you guys think might be the safest in this respect
>>109719601IT Field Tech
nothing for the last 2 months and now im getting all these interviews when im going on a 3 week trip to asia. i'll just have to find quiet cafes to give the interviews.
>>109719601>I have no idea I just want to make moneygo sell insurance or something. this field isn't for you.
>>109719560Update: Interviewer was chill, told me I don't quite have the skill the listing is after, but he thinks I can cram it and will tell them I do so I can try to study it in case they move forward based on his report. No idea if that's true of course.
>>109719859sounds too much wishful thinking, I would say move on with other prospects, dont expect shit.
I have no experience can I get a job in tech?
>>109719875Agreed but I was toying around with some webshit anyway, so it overlaps with what I was already going to be doing
>>109719608I'm an IT Field tech. We can't really use AI for work because of GDPR. The work can be chill if you have enough colleagues in your region. Also we got cars that we can drive privately.
just get a clearance you cucksI have one and just landed an offer with it

My mom keep pushing me jobs reeeeeeeeeeeeeee

>>109720852>skillkeep telling yourself that
working for the government is like basically being a neetyou don't do any workyou want to kill yourself everydayand you're poori hate my life
>>109721784dont they pay good doe? i live in DC and these govt jobs pay good ass money and u do nothing like u said
>>109721784>basically being a neet but earning upwards of 100kwhat exactly is the downside herethings are majorly fucked elsewhere anyway
>>109710253>there's almost never anything good on either.I keep getting emails for $200k/year SWE jobs but I like my current one so I ignore them.
>>109720669How do you get one without military service? You cannot apply for one yourself and it apparently costs a company like 20 grand to do the process
At my last job (I'm a neet now) we had a spreadsheet for storing certain information. One day I noticed a disgusting jeet was looking in my designated tab for some reason. It kept highlighting different cells and was crawling around like a maggot in my food. I was so repulsed by it that I stopped working for the day.
>>109710207Imagine being so retarded you passed on a chance to prevent your family and future grandchildren from being part of the permanent underclass, all in the name of "finding yourself."
I turn 31 in december
>>109722889man that's crazy
>>109722889Me too anon
>>109722403>dont they pay goodI applied for a job at NASAIt pays 50k
>>109722403>>109722561when will you goys learn that money doesnt buy happiness
>>109722654You can't. The only way to get one is to work for the government and get on an assignment that requires a clearance. Nobody is willing to sponsor clearances in this market. I had one, but it is no longer active, and now I can't get back into defese work.
>>109722654Get a job that will sponsor your clearance or work for the government directly
>>109723507yes it does lol
>>109723795You really gotta join the military. Exp>College.
A few fat indian hrs in my dms after I listened twerking as my core skill, but they asked if I can operate a computer mouse and paste links from something they called a "clipboard"...

>>109719887can you invent a time machine? do you know someone that will hire you?
>>109722889are you me?
>>109722889holy unc. i'm only 28
should i get RHCSA or ccna?
>>109717483hello me from the futureworking at a small company. cant get offers even when its an exact match and i do well on the interviews.ive come to just stop worrying about it and save money. im going to start doing prereqs for something in healthcare.tech sucks. it wouldnt be as bad if it were stable, but theres way too much luck involved. the pay is nice and i never thought i would make this much, but i need to have a backup plan. nobody is hiring anyone from cold applies unless you have very niche skills.pre ai there was a hard iq barrier on people just hiring dumbasses they like. with that removed and the labor pool increasing by 10x while also being 50% actually racist indians makes this not a viable long term option.even if you break into tech, its just never ending. "oh i'll be fine when i get x yoe" no you wont, its never enough. 1, 3, 5, 10 yoe, doesn't matter. your job can disappear at any minute and you have to make all your financial decisions around this. hiring is very very limited for cold applies.
I think I'm going to do something drasticI'm going to paint my nails to subtly imply I'm not a straight white male because slipping "I'm gay, I'm so gay, I have a bsky account for gay furry porn, please hire me over the brown woman for your DEI slot" into natural conversation isn't possible. Trannies have life on easy mode, nobody glosses over them
>>109725609>Trannies have life on easy mode, nobody glosses over themThat's bullshit and you know it
>>109725609>White people wanting others to feel sorry for them just because they are whiteCome on, man. If you really want to enter the pity olympics, you're going to need something else. Broken home, rising out of poverty, I'll even take a busted knee from a sports scholarship that died on the vine.If the ultimate source of your unhappiness is umeployment, sorry man, it's not just you. I know 4chins likes to imply everyone is a tard, but there are a lotof smart people who are out of work right now. The economy has stagnated or even contracted in multiple other sectors for a while now. Tech dodged the bullet riding on the coattails of AI, but the easy money is drying up.If neither of us finds a job right away, if nothing else, remind yourself in two years how you weathered this bullshit, and then use that as proof that you ain't bitchmade when the next hard round comes through, like cancer or a life-altering accident.
>>109723507you wouldn’t think this if you’ve been unemployed long enough
how strict are background checks? can i lie about the duration of work if i have actually worked in those places?
>>109722654I got mine without any military service. You just have to get lucky with some company that’s willing to sponsor one for you.
>>109712675>no insurance>you faggots can get sicker, faster these daysuh oh
>>109726605free healthcare
>>109715442>Wagie can afford condoms to boneonly a virgin would say this

>>109725386time flies man i remember when i was 25 like yesterday
>>109722889I turn 28 tomorrow. I still consider myself young xD
>>109725609If you are white you will never be able to compete in the oppression olympics. Also fags are basically socially dominant at this point, you could easily make the case that straight men are more marginalized by society. Something like 90% of zoomers are gay or at least "bicurious." It just isn't going to do anything for you in terms of DEI.
Got a second-round offer but they haven't sent a contract yet.>This job will require you to travel in 2-3 week intervals across the country with single-day notice about where your next assignment location is. Also we will not provide any compensation for travel, travel insurance, or housing while traveling.Let's go tour of America woo
>>109727944never take any job at all that won't reimburse travel. hard no, scam.
>>109727967I don't even know how many applications I am deep now and being unemployed and disabled doesn't qualify me for unemployment, disability, or healthcare as a young man so I don't really have a choice but to get fucked one way or another. I know it's ass but nobody else will hire me lmao
>>109728023It's a scam, depart from it.
>>109712675WFH in a low stress job is like NEET adjacent and truly peak.
>>109728102that will always be the dream, sadly those jobs are far between
rhcsa or ccna? what has the better prospects?
Holy unc status
>>109728461I'm alright.

>>109729770You also can find a local soup kitchen.
do you have any youtube bloggers who show off how much day in the life they have at FAGMAN? I need to sip vicariously what it would be like to be a success. Instead, I am drowning in the bottle. How long have I been here. Will YouTube save me? Where are the cute tech girls that do not have penis and are not black?
>>109722712Latest blogpost from my Indian smart meter job: most people have to log into an online system to answer phone calls that occasionally (but rarely) come in. Not only do the managers not know who does or doesn’t have access to it (they keep asking me to log into it, when I still don’t have access), but also some Indian from India logged into it and was named among the staff for all of yesterday. Nobody knew who he was and it took all day for someone to actually get him removed again.Earlier this week, two of my colleagues were talking to each other, and the Indian woman asked the Nigerian guy, “So, do you have a visa to work in the UK legally?” He did, but I might genuinely and unironically be in a job with literal illegals.
>>109725394Nah
>>109726492It depends entirely on the job. Any proper check will catch you if you’re lying. Mom-and-pop SMEs might not catch you, and mid-tier companies will catch you and not care, but anything good will slap your shit. Everything everywhere is outsourced now as well, to other companies, and all those companies are just desperate to catch someone to prove their value to their clients, so personally, I wouldn’t risk it (even though I did it myself in 2015, and again in 2017).
>>109727219based
>>109728380Fewer people have the RHCSA, by probably a factor of ten, but it’s pretty useless in practice. It’s up to you, but I wouldn’t bother with either really. CCNAs are much more common, so less impressive, but also far more jobs actually want them.
>>109729770>democrats dying is "bad"oh?
My counselor said I need to add in multiple activites on my CV not hobbies. So like being active within certain clubs and doing regular activites. Wtf is this bullshit. I only work a part time job and program. Why do I need activities on my CV for a fucking progamming job??
Where U At ?

>>109731423Was on red for almost 2 decades while in cucknada. Now I'm in the green even though jobless.
usually a job ad has a number below to call the recruiter and ask question do them actually want to be called? I am wondering if I should just call and ask a couple questions instead of wasting my time adjusting my cv and coverletter for them its been 8 fucking months and I still got no invite anywhere.Also I had how all job ads are essentially vague posting.
>>109732647Try for an entirely different job. Check job websites, and anywhere else you can think of, and see if there are any industries near you which have a large number of different companies. For example, if you live near 40 different law firms, they will all be basically the same, so if you work for them (not necessarily as a lawyer!!), then it won't matter if they go broke or fire you because you can just get a job at a different one. And if you're good, you can move to another one for more money because they'll probably have heard of Anon, the incredible HR man / building facilities manager / sales dynamo / purchasing assistant, who used to work for their big rival.If you're autistically obsessed that it has to be an IT job, for some reason Windows certifications get you paid way more than Linux does. And companies that use Windows will use it for everything, and will probably be scared of Linux and unwilling to ever change. Also, if they haven't abandoned Windows by now, I don't think they're going to.
>>109716133Don't you, though?
>>109720761Can it replace a case fan?
I have never seen an unemployed white woman
>>109734299yes it will even hire irl agents to do it a man made millions on lemonade alone fully letting AI run the company
>>109720699 (checked)Man, that rug pull at the end
>>109734405This. Being an attractive woman in tech is now the bare minimum to get hired. Senior devs (men who are 35+, likely single, obsessed with Stacy and betabuxxing) will not hire anyone else. If you look are their social media, it's mundane posts like "I take my job very seriously, I pinky promise" while doing something silly or posting pics of themselves at a gym for Chad.

Is it too autistic to message the recruiter and ask what the fuck happened? I'm pretty desperate and wanting to reapply under a different email.
>>109740556I thought finance was doing good again?
>>109740417>head developer: $55/h>rebekah (owner.): $100/hkek
At the age of 24 or 25 I was unemployed for 5 months. Best time of my life, I was never again as happy as I was back then.
>>109741356Reminds me when I was unemployed during peak covid. Despite the constant fear mongering, it was a comfy time.
>>109741356I got a master's before my first job, so my first job was at 24. Worked for a year, 11h a day, on-call, and terrible politics. I quit with nothing lined up. 6 months of NEETing. Best time in my life by far. 10 years later I still long for it.
>>109741342Supposed to be.Everyone but me is succeeding.
>>109741370I liked COVID because everyone was forced to live like me and I could avoid people so easily
>>109741356For the vast majority of people and I assume everybody here, you don't just get to be unemployed. Being a NEET is comfy. Instead I think most of us are working absolute shit tier jobs that are pure torture every day both physically and mentally like working in a store or fast food restaurant. There are songs that if I hear them now, I get this sinking feeling in my stomach because I've had to listen to them probably over a thousand times on repeat at work.
>>109741569Never thought about it that way, it makes more sense now.
>>109741026Couldn't find a 20 year old with 10 years React experience. Better get a Pajeet.
>>109741603I've been programming since I was 8, so at 20 I already had 12 yoe in even modern stacks. Still wasn't able to get a job then and had to fight for every crumb.
>>109741657Now imagine that I know most people who barely coded before they got their jobs and prior to entering college/uni they have never even opened a code editor. They're employed now, unless they literally hated work in tech (many such cases desu)
>>109741902Yup. In some of my jobs, I've been very close to clients with technical people on the other end as we sold SaaS memes for devs. The longer they've stayed at the same company, the more retarded they are, literally can't "program" without drag-and-drop tier if they have 15+ years.The only time I've found other programmers on my level, they're stuck in dead-end low-paid jobs at e.g. university facilities or some such, if they can even manage to get something stable.
>>109729506linkedin was a mistake
>>109738055sorry but that looks brown to mealso what’s the point if anyone can just lie about their hand on 4chan now due to tech
>>109741902>who barely coded before they got their jobs and prior to entering college/uni they have never even opened a code editorLiterally me, but I have no job so don't worry. :^)
>>109738030first of all you must be white enough to get a clearancedo you pass that basic test?
>>109712970Man, if you really got the skills, you should try your luck at hackathons. They actually offer prize money if you place near the top
>>109742307Even if you win they offer very little at best, are widely non-skill based (e.g. all the hackatons nowadays are meme ai demo shitware shits), very often are team-only, and there aren't enough of them in a year even if you packed your schedule and ignored travel and equipment cost to even survive.
>>109740609>Thank you for doing 5 stages of interview and submitting a DNA and psych profilewhat industries don't have this retarded hiring culture? i'm never going to make it in tech
>>109742498Literally only tech has this. In other industries you do 2 chats and move on. 0 practical tests, no psych to speak of, very lightweight technical questions at all even in technical domains.
>>109742514yeah fuck this then. it seems like anything worthwhile (ie skilled) would take 4-5 years to get into though. i'm probably just gonna waste away at a warehouse somewhere in all likelihood
thinking of joining the military to pay for college, i always wanted to be a historian and i refuse to gib up on my BIG dream.
>>109742568There are no historian jobs.
>>109742596Seems to be to tech jobs either
>>109742886Yes but no. The problem in tech is that HR is preventing any qualified person from connecting to technical hiring staff, but there are actually more job openings than qualified people looking for jobs.For history it's between 4 applicants for every 1 position and 6:1 depending on how you count. So even if every last person got matched with a job without HR getting in the way (and they do get in the way still), you still would be in a very bad spot in practice.
>>109742596it can be a hobby second to my military gig. who knows, i might enjoy it enough to become a Fleet Admiral
I NEED A JOBLITERALLY NEED ONEYET I GET AUTO REJECTED EVERY FUCKING TIMEWHY CAN'T WE SUE THESE ASSHOLES
>>109712795>how do we solve the NEET final issue when mummy dies and we become homeless?It's called AutismBux, or disability. Many here are eligible and here in the USA the lawyer to handle your inevitable denial and appeal takes a cut of the retroactive pay so it's no cost process. Then you get $1000 a month, snap tendies, and much more forever! The ride never ends. The irony is, I have a CS BS and other degrees and would accept employment if it was meritocratic and not a strange mix of performance art to appease passive-aggressive normie cunts, nepotism (VERY important), excess credentialism and experience paradoxes (yeah I have 100000 years experience as a new grad!) and mostly PURE LUCK like a fucking lottery. This crap is intolerable to my Autism - give me an algorithmic rule based effective procedure that automatically guarantees income by following the steps fairly or GTFO and fuck you pay me my disability Danegeld. >>109728954>not anymore, you gotta prove you can make $580 a month or volunteer hours somewhereNot if you are disabled, only normies are subject to this just like all the other crap they are burdened with.
>>109744307It really do be like that
>>109744041>$1000 a monthhow is 12K a year enough?
>>109744463You also get additional benefits such as rent vouchers, healthcare, etc. The cool thing about those benefits is they're typically worth more than the eligibility limits which makes getting out of a welfare hole even harder!
>>109744041>Not if you are disabledTrue
>>109744307what a strange tweet of course my degree invovled operating dangerous machinery at >2000C
>>109723507it does buy food and shelter, and lacking those is going to make me unhappy
I can’t even get an internship, still at 1st term at uni, considering changing to a diff one that has a program that puts you automatically into one of their fintech/consulting/bank partners on 2nd term (the contract keeps you there for minimum 18 months to build experience)I can’t go back to doing night shifts on a hospital as security, fuark my chungus life
>>109723507It literally and objectively does though.
>>109744500Heat grants too, I got a $1100 kerosene delivery in the spring, before that there was another of similar amount.
>cant land an internship>cant land a good productgod why cant i have shit i just wanna make the bare minimum to live
>>109745491switch majors unless you want to be underemployed with debt
>>109746795What else is even there to do? I’m 27 yo, only decent one would be med but I don’t like hospitals, I worked there as security for years and it was hell plus I’d only graduate at 35yo
>>109744041Getting disability for mental health is hard to do and takes years of documentation and years of process. It's even more difficult if you have ever worked before. It is not something a lot are eligible for. It's possible to fraud, but the amount of work is great for such an awful lifestyle. I have known about 6 people living this lifestyle, they were always complaining and depressed. The NEET pepe posters are doing it as a psychological cope that they are very unhappy and being legally deemed a useless invalid. When you first get on SSI you are happy. It doesn't take very long for it to sour and turn into misery. The real irony is claiming you could do the job. The people that fall into this lifestyle have no work ethic at all. On top of generally having at least one personality disorder, the idea they could hold an office job at all is unrealistic. They do have programs to retrain people like this into the work force.I know you are going to respond with another obvious bait. I just wanted to let you know that people see through the little act. I hope you get your life together anon. The longer you wait the harder it gets.
im gonna kill myself because i cant get a job
>>109746945So wtf do we do bro I can’t get a job in tech clearly but even stuff like security and retail mall stores ghost me like seriously man what the fuckk
>>109747119Right behind you fuck this
>>109746945I had the documentation already so it was easy enough. I never said I wanted an "office job" as that sounds like the definition of Hell, I said give me the tasks without any headgames or dancing for NPCs like a trained animal and I absolutely could do them, i.e. totally remote from the start and that doesn't really exist. I was a caregiver for a parent which, coupled with ASD, meant I've never held any form of employment whatsoever for many years at this point as it simply doesn't make sense to me going through bizarre humiliation rituals, gatekept by raging feminist cunts and assorted oversocialized ninnies. I'm very social with intellectual peers and betters and had no issue shooting the shit with my advisor who retired from IBM and who was friends with IBM Fellows etc. Those people found me cool enough by the process by which normies "use" friendship for material gain simply doesn't click and feels awkard as fuck. Call it what you want, I don't care. I inherited a nice house and have enough to get by so the only motivation I have for employment is intellectual stimulation and money for more hobbies maybe travel or shit. Not applying for 100000 positions and moving to MLK Blvd. for the first shitty opening available after begging for it. State vocational rehab programs do absolutely nothing for you if you have a degree in my experience, they can only help mostly with unskilled work positions. They will pay for grad school at a state school, however the use of an MS seems debatable if you have no experience. So don't blame me for not trying, I absolutely did and it was of no use.
>>109747334>Everything is beneath me>Everyone is beneath me>I need full remote>If I have to do anything its a humiliation ritualPersonality disorder.
>>109747417No faggot. My basic needs are met so doing menial unskilled work, bearing in mind I have a BS and other degrees as well, would be less income than my disability package. $50k minimum to improve the situation otherwise fuck off. And no, you have it backwards faggot - never said anyone was beneath me, but rather office NPCs think they are better than everyone else and only hire their own kind, a shit environment hostile to neurodivergents.
>>109747119>>109747125>>109747311blame the roasties
>>109747503Larp as a troon and use their own tactics against them by DEI maxxing?
>>109747503blue checkmark on twitter so u know its true and real
I'm going to apply for hell desk jobs at this point. But I'll probably find out those are being fought over as well.
>>109741337pls respond. I did see the position isn't even open anymore so I can't reply. Would it still be autistic to email the responder to just ask what I could have done better?
i ran out of jobs to apply on linkedin, ive been doing 10-15hours a day job hunting, wtf do i do now? do i just install uber and go be an uber driver?
>>109745491Internships are rare until the 3rd term or even later. In fact, having completed 2 terms is usually a hard requirement for internships.
>>109748112Just do it dude what could you even lose atp
>>109747459The only kind of """neurodivergent""" who uses that word are the retarded.
>>109748112It's standard enough practice to ask for feedback, and in about 5% of cases you actually will receive such feedback.
>>109748764Sure faggot, call it ASD, aspergers, autism whatever it's all the same you chomo. Anyway enjoy having Shlomo's lash at your back as I sample organic chicken tendies.
>>109748831Retardation is not autism which is not asperger's. It's very clear from your posts you don't have autism or asperger's. In fact, you have no idea what those are.
It's a new week, and I still got no response to two job postings I replied to two to three weeks ago. The least they could do is send a rejection e-mail, but that's like 5 minutes of getting ChatGPT to write an e-mail and we all know HR is too goddamn busy for that.
> If you have questions just ask us> Call them up> Why the fuck are you calling us anon?well I guess thats another failed application and then they wonder why Zoomers don't want to call anyone.
>>109750946I don't even bother contacting employers anymore. Asking if they'll get back to you after more of a week of no contact, asking what you were missing or were lacking in after a rejection... They never fucking answer an e-mail and just give generic answers by phone. Not worth it.
Alright my workshop is in two weeks. I've just got 74 hours of AWS classes to take to completely max out my junior javascript webshitting skill tree then I'll have one more week to practice deploying and presenting full stack apps. I can breed. I will breed.
I was at wok and actually working from 10am to 6pm10am yesterday to 6pm today
>>109748767somebody actually asks for feedback? the company ghosted you like fuck are they wasting any time replying to youI was so happy this year when I finally got to send some generic uninformative rejection emails to a couple companies that had put me through 5-7 interviews at that point and extended offers. All of them asked for feedback and I ignored them
what's the harm of signing up employers that ghost me to a ton of spam lists?
>>109752081literally nothing, its probably all filtered. the idea you are doing this shit petty and useless is not a good sign for your mental health.
What do I write in my resume apart from my education? I never worked a job I had a side gig drawing "art" but thats pretty much it? So far I just have > Education> Skills will anyone care about some random github projects? I got a git frontend and a music application. Well maybe some embedded stuff as well but thats mostly trivial.
>>109753339You're not getting a job.
>>109753339>>will anyone care about some random github projectsYeah, you'll probably want to show off some projects.
it's been a year since we were told our company is shutting down, a year of not being able to find a jobI'm almost 30 years old with a mediocre CV, a few yearly gaps which already looks bad but at least I had actual reasons like covid, burnout, trying something elsenow I can add another one on top of it for no fucking reason at allit also makes me look like a habitual hobo, like I just get bored of each job after 1-2 years and then take a year off to waste my savingsI'm so fucking sorry for blowing off a few take-homes, and for most of them I've done some work but then got stuck and just never messaged them backnow I'm a prospectless loser, too old for a real career, let down my parents, went from a gifted student to a unemployed drunk
>>109754030I've had a handful of interviews since the time I was let go, and all of them asked why it's been so long since my last job (I was let go in May of last year). The answer of "Well, the tech job market's pretty bad right now" seemed to surprise them every time as if that shit hasn't been blasted in tech news for years now. I would've hoped that, considering the companies I interviewed with were all in the tech industry, they would've had some clue as to what the job market looked like. The fact their job postings get a fuckton of replies apparently also wasn't an obvious indicator of how bad it's gotten. Jesus Christ...
>>109754030>like I just get bored of each job after 1-2 years and then take a year off to waste my savingsPretty much me except I don't go off to waste my money on my own, I just don't have a job for a while. Even if I burn out I don't take a break, not that I could afford it.
>>109754030same, I think some of us just arent made for full time employment and careers. Some people are made for that, others adapt, others cope, and some just dont try
>>109710207Has anyone here ever tried swapping their sex on the ID to get some of those sweet woman gigs?
God FUCKING dammit, do I just use beanstalk or define the deployment myself in cloudformation and use ECS? I'm auditioning for a fullstack webshitting position.
>>109754799Pulumi or bust
>>109754717I am tempted to do it just to see if I get a invite.
>>109754872Oh crap thats right, better use terraform (safer for large teams) instead of cloudformation thanks anon
>terraform secrets are stored in plaintext Aiiieeeee the training uses terraform so I gotta use terraform right?
>>109755097Terraform is far more dangerous than pulumi because of its insistence on defaulting to local state. It's particularly bad for large teams where the remote can change relatively fast.
>>109754717I said I was gay once (I got the job), but it was annoying trying to keep appearances, my manager kept hitting on me
>>109738269They do not. I live there in the most booming city in the entire country, and it’s grim and hopeless.
>>109748105Ha! Imagine if they were! No, you are definitely the first person to ever think about applying for entry-level IT jobs here in the thread for unemployed IT workers.
>>109755244I was talking about london
>>109753339How long ago did you finish your education? If it was less than a year, you should be fine. If it’s longer, get a shit cancer job and put that and just extend the dates. I worked in a factory.
>>109754117The truth is not always the best thing to give in job interviews. Blaming external sources for your problems, like blaming companies for not hiring you, is excessively honest autism and you need to think of a different answer. If you have some skills from a previous job, maybe say you quit your last job to learn those skills on a correspondence course or something.
>>109755356London is meant to be better because it has America syndrome, where all the jobs from all over the world congregate to hire everyone and they assume that there are just more jobs there because it’s a great place. But I live in Manchester. It’s better than rural Cumbria or Wales or Cornwall, but job websites are worthless so where the fuck do I look for a job?
>>109755388That sounds even dumber to me, considering it's been over a fucking year by now. At that point I'd rather tell a half-lie, like "I was taking care of my dying mom" or something.
what do you guys do when you run out of jobs to apply for? I spent the whole saturday and sunday job hunting and now theres nothing left, do I start applying for every country in the world or find obscure websites that noone knows about?
>>109755424It's been well known for a while that london is where all the jobs are at. Best you can do is live within train distance, but it'll cost you a ton to commute anyway.
