I need money but I only have an associates degree, 0 experience (except for like a week at target back in hs), and I have a back injury that makes it to where I can't stand for long periods of time. What kind of job would be a good fit? I've been looking around but most seem to require standing or tons of experience, I'm considering lying on my resume to try and get a data entry job but surely there's a better option out there. Let me know your thoughts and thanks in advance

Whatever job you want
Until I see a check in my hand, every job is on the table and I can talk to them on a first name basis and do. You ever just called a company phone number or emailed them to yap? I have. Yap about my day. Did it just today I should show you the email. Show you how I was pissed my boomer twat parents expect me to make thanksgiving dinner, get my ass up at 5am to start, clean the rugs and porch with the pressure washer, along with all the other shit I do every single day, and they couldn't even be bothered to get my vapes when they stopped by the grocery store and it's been like two weeks sens I've smoked. I've done the math and "60 dollars a month vs doing a bunch of shit I shouldn't have to do" is only an unfair trade-off for me. So fuck them where's my vapes?

I wouldn't need them to get me vapes if I just worked for a vape shop though. Hmmmm curious. It's almost like they should've hired me instead of ignoring my application. Hmmmm well sense noone els is listening I suppose I'll tell this vape shop about my idea of an infomercial for the vape shop where we sell Counterstrike skins, and have a Chihuahua dressed like a terrorist to the isis Nasheed and his partner is the Ikea shark to get the autistic trans viewership.

Literally the only thing I regret about my crashout email was not mentioning my trans gf more. About how "she's a super model, and can orgasm in 6 or 7 languages"

Fuck this Judeo Earth. If I gotta live here shits going to exist for my entertainment or there will be violence.

shut the fuck up



 

I work part-time in a small town, repackaging near rotten fruit so it can be sold for 2x the price, the lady who's a higher-up at the store I work at constantly micromanages me even though I never do anything wrong,
she always makes my already nauseating job of picking through moldy berries even harder by not even checking the ones which are clearly off and throwing them right in with the good ones i spent so much time on then goes and throws away perfectly good bread.
who fucking came up with the idea of having a boss or some higher-up who shoves orders down your throat, this shit is really getting in the way of productivity.

god the flag is so perfect

So start doing shit wrong
Also like, does she wanna fuck you? If someone bothering me that much I assume they wanna fuck me. Or at least they better or need to back off.

Do you lie about ur job experience in ur resume? Not like saying u know how to use python when u dont but like saying u worked somewhere u never did. Im on job search rn and atp im thinking about it but i heard they sometimes call companies to check if u really worked there

I saw one job advertised asking for 5-10 years experience coding in a computer language that only existed for 2 years.

I got fired a year ago from an IT place and went total neet mode for a whole year, now I need money and I'm considering lying about the date I left the job, dunno

>>1418
For those ones just study up on the language and lie on your resume if you want that job

>>1284
I feel so seen by this post

>>1276
Actual ledpaint boomer stare I'm giving all recruiters and HR, and I don't think even think it can be called lying what I'm doing at this point.
>Some worthless hr or recruiting faggot rejects my application 24 hours in. Nevermind the fact this is worse than the supposed Soviet union where I'd be drafted into a job as I gotta do the humiliation ritual of applying waiting for these worthless sacks of shit to hire me and I shouldn't have too. This is an industry I care about and I'd do way more for the company than they ever will.

>Don't accept the rejection. Literally on my end edit it and say I'm having an interview. I don't know if they see that, nor do I care. I emailed them too saying I have an interview set up so would like to keep in touch. Imma call them tomorrow probably and add upon that, acting like I just kinda got hired because I did, I hired myself. Fuck their input.

>Even if they say I didn't get hired and just ignore my calls, I'm gonna lie and say yeah I got hired. I work seven days a week, im gonna make TikTok videos telling stories about my make believe job and the bad and good about it
>If nothing else sense it's vape related, other vape shops will see I'm hired by a vape shop and put me in the front to make it real
>Or not, I'll just lie and say I worked for them too. In fact this one sexually molested me, wait I'm of age…can I be molested? Well he imagined I was younger as he was sexually harassing me. So it's kinda molestation right? How does that work?

Y'all are not prepared for the levels of schizo I hold back.

The blogpost you linked claims that they should, not that they are. Instead they are just bitching about Indians taking "their" jobs, like OP does.

Not really something I've encountered at all in the logistics industry. You'll get paid less, but working for a small/medium sized company that isn't primarily software oriented is a much comfier lifestyle.

Practice a lot. If you get a good interviewer doesn't matter how well you do the problem, but about how cool your are, how communicative you are, and if you can think of different strategies even if they're wrong. Structuring code, naming variables correctly, stuff like this.

Practicing is very important and will give you an edge. Finally it's a numbers game, you need to go through this humiliation ritual several times, and face rejection. Think of it like practice.
>t. Have worked for Big Tech, in several countries around the world, senior engineer, have interviewed numerous people as well.

Anybody here been a network tech?
I'm in school about to graduate with a degree related to networking after switching over to it when I realized that I hated coding. I'm not expecting to make >40k to start off with, but I'm worried that I don't have enough experience to skip over more help desk stuff (did that last year) and that hating coding will bite me in the ass, since one of my instructors mentioned that the orchestration that lots of companies are turning to is more reliant on coding the control plane than loading up a config onto a switch/router.
I'm also very weak so I don't think going the cabling route will necessarily be a path forward either.

>>352
yep, I got tired and quiet quitted, got fired, now I'm broke and unemployed, I have no skills since I stopped studying and coding after getting fired, I hate coding and I only got into it for the money, it was not worth it.

What makes you motivated to wake up each week day and begin another days work? Am personally not particularly motivated by things, so am looking for something of another form. Am currently a student more or less dreading and finding it difficult to imagine enjoying most of my life. Am looking for a perspective to stop dreading the future working so much.

Know statistically that most American workers are "very satisfied" with their occupation, but find this confusing. Who would want to work? Suppose someone who rationalized, or someone who earns money by coincidence (their interests and aspirations by happenstance being economically viable). Is there some way out of this?

Why is it ok to criticize work but when I criticize schooling, it's considered wrong?
Schooling has far more dross than working.

What's some bits you did for previous linkdinsonas / normiesonas you're not using anymore?

I'm gonna start a job search soon but can't think of anything that strikes the balance of funny, believable and maundane quite right.

I unironically use lines from El Djihad in cover letters. Did it for Wingstop manager and vape shop.

Wingstop: Speak like warriors to reclaim what is ours. Put down the chickenwings bro.

Vape: They forgot we are the fathers who defend the boundaries. I will in fact sell to minors Karen Inshallah.

Was tricked to sign a letter of resignation from my job at the russian post office. Despite the fact that I was on probation and my employment contract was fixed-term (although informally after its termination they almost always offer a full-time position) my…I don't know - supervisor? the main bitch of the workplace? didn't like me because of a couple of fuckups like a cash shortage, which I was really guilty of and paid for out of my own pocket (the statement of financial responsibility was signed by me on the first day of employment), and she decided to lie that the employee I was replacing was about to go to work.
Which was an easily verifiable lie that I realized literally as I closed the door behind me. Ah, yes, since I quit "at my own request", I have to work for three days, so called "otrabotka" (two weeks if you were taken without probation), which I will not do (devilish?), because after signing my resignation letter I am no longer an employee and can not be forced to work.
Also new thing I learned opening the labor code for the first time.
-there is no concept of working after dismissal, but there is a concept of notification before dismissal, so it should be 3 days or 2 weeks before the fact.

Thanks for reading my stupid rant.

400 job applications in, applying to like 5 different roles, all over the country, remote, inperson, whatever…. and nothing.

Last time I got an interview they made me do a 3 hour on site and told me a week later the jobs been cancelled akshually

This is how cucked the working class is, I feel slimy just for agreeing to do the interview.

No one said anything? We call customers out for eating off the hot bar and shit but beating off in public like that at the restaurant? At least pour some water or him or throw some old food at him

>>1409
he was escorted out don't worry, however i don't really know the precise circumstances about how it was handled because i was hastily leaving at the time

last week at this particular place. if you think that workers demanding a reasonable work load as to not compromise their physical health as some kind of "entitlement" you belong in a fucking mass grave
>it's not the appropriate time to worry about your health you know
>you soft ass newbies are being way too entitled, when we were starting this business that business we were working our asses off for 13 hours a day with 2 people on site only, can't you understand
>no we're not letting your coworker to help you guys right now, even despite him being in a dire financial situation. why? we're not telling you

>Always worked off the books
>Decide to try being legit
>Make LinkedIn account
>Find interesting new job opening, save it
>Next day: Closed, 30+ applicants

Why the fuck does anyone bother with this shit?

Are you a retard who also books their flights through the flight platforms or something? You don't apply through fucking linkedin, lmao. You go to the company's website and look for the job listing there and apply there.

>>1383
ive done it that way but I get more responses when I use indeed or ziprecruiter

>>1383
That sounds really fucking stupid. Does applying directly from website actually go to a human? Like, how do they file their emails from employment inquiries, partnerships, etc???

Why even have these third parties if they don't make life easier?

You're part of the problem. No snap for you. Fucking starve and die bitch. I'd throw you out of your house too and squat there. Your mom's house I should say.



 

How you react when your boss says "Get back to work" again?
Do you stay silent or throw Molotov cocktail in his face?

cum in his watercooler

BOOMP

cum in him

Threaten to leave, and follow through if I have to.

I'm a dysfunctional transgender autistic NEET with a large resume gap and a tiny amount of work experience in software development. I'm around 30. I don't feel motivated to sit through corporate bullshit. I was thinking about going into retail and other unskilled labor with the intent to agitate and organize. Is this romantic silliness or is this possible? I don't have experience in retail or food service or political organizing. Also I'm pretty socially dysfunctional. But it strikes me that salting seems like something that would be really worthwhile and I'd really willing to sacrifice for. It feels a lot more positive than any other sort of work I could do. I don't have a family I need to support and so on.

Thanks!
The impression I get is that the easiest mistake to make would be adventurism. You have to work hard and be normie about things for the first little while. Patience and professionalism is the key. Not romantic adventure shit.

Anyhow I do think people who have NEETbux are an undertapped resource for worker organizing. If you're already living off of disability and leaching off family it lessens the threat of firing.

>>1330
>intentionally go for shitty work instead
Not OP but bait taken: you expect someone to not only get a job in software development in current year, with a gap in their resume, and then salt a union into said software dev job?

I am in cadre/leadership of a union local in retail. It's very rewarding and you should get a service job and organize it. I am trans and had social anxiety disorder before I started working retail but not autism.

Computer jobs are not actually good except for money which doesn't really matter if you are a communist. If you have really bad dysphoria distress and want operations you can get that with a grocery job if you move somewhere where gender care is required by state insurance regulations. In Oregon we also have OHP which gives you face/puss for free if you are part time / poor

>>1312
You could try living off welfare
