I have run out of severance and now I'm running out of savings. It's do or die now, folks. Job offers, job leads, job hunting advice...please send them all my way, and/or boost for reach. Freelancing is on the table, too. Details about me and what I'm looking for, to follow.
God grant me the serenity to accept the #recruiters that don't understand the #jobs they're spamming me with, the patience to respond to them kindly, or at least the willpower to ignore them. #laidOff#jobHunting#getFediHired
Look, you might have been in the industry almost as long as I've been alive, but if your CV doesn't even mention any of the requirements (aside from the vague notion of "I learn quick") I can't pass you onto interview.
Additionally, throwing CV's at anything tangentitally related to your profession just wastes everyones time.
Okay, I'd like to again ask for help with finding an IT job. Please boost or share with anyone who might know of openings in the Seattle area or remote. I've been searching for 7 months with no luck, and am now unemployed with savings running out soon.
I'm an IT Systems Admin with 10 years of experience, a bachelor's degree in IT, and Comptia A+, Net+, Security+, and CySA+. I've worked with:
Windows Server 2008-2022
SQL and Windows SQL Server
C#
Printer/Scanners
Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Networking and Sonicwall Firewalls
Troubleshooting and Helpdesk, both remotely and on site
And many more general IT fields.
After having another very bad week of job hunting, I could use any help possible to find a decent job in my fields. I've had to deal with 4 recruiter phone calls in a row just today alone that keep trying to throw no-benefit, nearly minimum wage helpdesk jobs at me that would hardly even cover my bills, much less live on. I'm at my wits end, and would greatly appreciate any referrals or such. Anything to get my foot in the door at this point.

My husband has worked at Holmes for 15 years and nothing could drag him away; when you envision "a small dev team of people who care about one another's success," this is what you have in mind. https://www.holmescorp.com/work-with-us/
Hi Mastodon. I'm a college senior looking for a full-time job in software engineering for when I graduate this May. I am willing to relocate within the US and am available to start sometime in June or later.
I saw this while checking out Reddit in the crapper. Apparently people are butthurt about how younger #GenZ workers won't consider a job whose ad doesn't provide a salary range.
You know what? I don't blame them at all.
I'm #GenX and I won't consider a job that doesn't provide a salary range. Even if a job provides a salary range, I go solely by the minimum value, because employers will never start you at the maximum, and if the minimum isn't a hell of a lot better than what I already make then I still won't bother.
Why should I? You know damn well why I want to work for your company: to get paid. I don't give a fuck about your culture, and you're not family to me.
Shoutout to all my fellow job seekers in tech who are sick and tired of finding an interesting job to apply to, only to discover that they're yet another company running their own instance of myworkdayjobs.com, and if you want to apply to them you have to make YET ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
JFC, I have TEN OF THESE ACCOUNTS NOW.
Because apparently having one global myworkdayjobs.com site is too hard, or something? 😩
Genuine question: Could I get a job where I primarily design lasercutting vectors? A good job, decent pay, stable, maybe remote, all that.
I'm wicked good at it with almost a decade experience. I just hadn't considered it as a primary vocation somehow. Probably because I don't have and didn't intentionally pursue a graphic design degree.
More context is I'm a hardware hacker and electronics PM.
For the 4th time in the last month I’ve gotten to the salary expectations part of an intro call and been told “…I really wish they’d fix that in the job posting, the actual salary range is $x-$y which is $xx,000 less than the JD.”
I appreciate that a salary is posted because it saves me from applying to places that can’t/won’t match what I’m currently making, but it doesn’t help anyone if it’s not accurate. #getfedihired#jobhunting
My good mental health just cost me a really solid, supported internship because I don't have diagnosis of depression etc. and their government grant for associations is only for people who have mental illnesses... Disability is not enough.
Hi everyone, I am immediately available for a new (freelance) position/project. I am looking for a Linux / Kubernetes / Openshift sysadmin role in or around Amsterdam.
It is bittersweet, but liberating to say: I no longer work for AWS.
That puts me firmly on the job market now. I'm looking for roles that put me in contact with users and developers, help people make better choices, and where “Knowing Things" is half the battle.
Hey! Did you know I once put #Doom and #gameboy (playable!) on credit card machines? Or ported Wordle to #PalmOS ? I've been plumbing all sorts of #tech into all sorts of other tech professionally for almost a decade now (unprofesionally for 16 years!) with an intimate knowledge of the inner workings of computers and low-level embedded code. I can also do killer hand-crafted #webdesign without relying on platforms or frameworks! And I can draw you in #pixelart for a modest price!
I'm currently 99% unemployable due to being legally in Brazil and physically in the UK. I've been without a stable income for 2 years now and I desperately need something my way. If you know of any commission or contract work that won't bug me with where I am geographically, please let me know!
My #jobhunting tip of the day: check the metadata of documents you send. I've seen Word-format CVs where the author is someone completely different -- or, in one example, an obscene joke name. File -> Info is your friend. #hiring#recruitment
