Lets turn posting into praxis. Like, I can't even interview anymore legitimately. I freeze up at the at the most basic interview question. My career has suffered because of it. All my supervisors say I take to the job well, and do what's asked of me though. I shouldn't have to deal with this, especially when I'm supposedly the model employee in every job I do.

I got my last 2 jobs through luck (finding the only jobs that wouldn't interview). My current job is something that most working class people wouldn't take. I could be homeless right now.

My outlook is pretty bleak right now, and my degree is near useless.

Can we get a subchapo for jobs and career advice? The DSA is starting to shift into something similar. I think this is especially important to give the left something decent during the pandemic. This sub can focus on both local and remote stuff, hopefully with a focus on worker co-ops.

The Subchapo title isn't important, pick something that fits better if it doesn't pop.

    Look, I've done all that. I don't mean to be short with you, but traditional interview advice doesn't work for me. I got coached on how to ace an interview by my college and professionals in my (I guess former) field. I get it. I had a psychotic breakdown 3 years ago, and can't operate like I used to. My brain is all fucked up and I can't do it legitimately. Reading traditional advice off to me almost feels condescending? I know you're doing this in good faith though, so don't sweat it.
