i realize this sounds like "you didn't like me enough so i'm going to start voting for the bad guys out of spite" but consider this: I am Running Out of Money and i have Not had a Single Interview since May of This Year

Show thread

given i have not had a single interview since may this will not decrease my chances of getting an interview

whenever jobs *require* a cover letter i'm going to start attaching PDFs whose sole content is "this page intentionally left blank"

anybody with over 1000 twitter followers has brain rot and i realize i'm getting close to it

i'm a competent low-level C software engineer with experience in web design, graphic design and all things hardware. someone fucking hire me already

Show thread

the only thing i want to vaguetweet about this whole bullshit that's been going on is that i have been looking for the "nice tech companies" to hire me since may of this year and if lockheed martin showed up in my inbox with a contract i would hesitate to say no

For five bucks just get it and look at the menus tbh. Go into the boss rush modes and watch video playback of the world records. Read the bonus features. Launch DuckTales for five minutes and remember that you don't actually want to play 33-year-old games anymore.

It’s increasingly clear that most tech company HR departments are an active impediment to hiring

i have not had a job interview since may.

i've lost count of how many places i applied to and i know i have a 50% success rate in getting a rejection letter (the other 50% don't bother with even that) but i haven't even had a single interview since may.

what am i doing wrong

"write an essay about why should we hire you" would you like to pay me per word or per hour?

Show thread

every time i do the entire song and dance for funny startups who ask for a lot more than a cover letter from applicants (which i already think a cover letter is a pain to write) and i don't even get the courtesy of a SINGLE INTERVIEW i grow a little more impatient with capitalism

people not wanting to be called cis shouldn't be calling me a trans woman either just call me woman, it's simple

i don't want to be a rockstar developer. i just want to live with my wife and not worry about money

Show thread

i'm tired of places asking me why i want to work for them and to analyse all the decisions i've made in my career. i just want to be paid to code in C. i heard low-level software and firmware programmers are in high demand. where's all the demand? where are my suitors?
