I’ve run into a problem from here though. Every Godamn company has their software of choice or whatever, EVEN THOUGH the softwares are functionally identical, have the same components, and work the same way overall. Is this not neoliberalism incarnate lol

So you HAVE to say that you’re familiar with this obscure software to get your foot in the door but then you have to talk about it in an interview like your previous org has used it in the past (even though they haven’t).

Does anyone have any life hacks for this particular situation

    Also once you start working say "my previous job had a different workflow" and ask a friendly coworker to "walk you through the new one". You might also have to spend a little bit of personal time working it out, but it's a minor price to pay to strengthen your lie.
