Seriously, I wanna go every time I read some carrer growth opportunity bullshit. It's either a job or it isn't.
I really despise anything remotely related to linkedin or whatever kind of creature dwells in that place. Can everyone do this stuff? Like, is this really how everyone gets a job? I can't deal with all this pretending, everything requires having a linkedin profile, but not only that, you gotta sell yourself somehow. And I don't even use social media.
Well, I have a bachelor's degree from a good University, I'm good at what I do, here's a portfolio. But no, I have to prove I deserve to be selected as a producer of wealth for my potential boss by pretending to be someone else. Can't we all just be practical about this shit? I have to keep trying to put myself into boxes and trying to fit with a sort of profile that I just can't and don't know why.
Am I autistic? Like, do I go get a diagnosis and maybe that will help? Do I go do something on my own? Then I have to figure out what an then sell it, and I'm bad at that. I don't know what to do and I'm tired of trying. (I was almost crying while writing this paragraph).
Honestly though, I just wanted to rant and this is one of the few places I feel safer in. Thanks for reading my rambling
I decided to change careers beginning of COVID and get a bachelor's in computer science. State paid for it and it's a top 5 CS uni, so I guess I can't complain but the job market sucks soooo much ass.
I feel your pain. I hate linkedin. This is my only social media (besides linkedin). The hoops for corpo jobs are unreasonable. I'm hoping to get enough experience to be able to wfh at like a non profit or something for ok pay.
Probably gonna go back to bangin nails
Yeah, absolutely this. I'm incapable of doing all they wanted me to do. Once they wanted me to submit a VIDEO talking to a camera and introducing myself. Like, am I signing up for a job or a reality show??
I had the exact same experience.
Got through two questions and I was like wait this isn't me wtf am I doing I don't want to work here anyway
This, but EVERY TIME EVER
Good luck out there, hope you find something you enjoy.
Thank you
