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.

    Anyone got any advice on how to land a remote job? I know that's a broad question and there are lots of jobs out that there fall under this but specifically, anyone have a writing/copywriting/whatever the fuck requires no degree or minimal schooling or certificates. I'll pretty much do anything regardless of what it pays just so I no longer have to commute. I've kinda realized I'm never going to find anything in a career that I'll actually want to do so if I can at least find something that's tolerable with room for growth would be great.

    I saw that Google offers courses in IT and they help with job placement afterward. Worth it? Web development? Coding/programming? Do I have to make a fucking LinkedIn?
