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.

    This could really be helpful. I'm on year 5 of nothing but temp work, even after switching fields and getting certified as a paralegal (on the advice of family members who were super insistent that would help me out). Literally every time i make it past an interview I end up being told I'm getting passed over in favor of a more experienced candidate. After this long "just keep applying, somewhere will hire you" rings completely hollow.
