After what's happened who wants to work in the public sector, the only benefit over the private sector it had was job security and a sense of purpose in public service.
Just spam apply, lie on your resume if you have to to get interviews, just use those interviews as Training runs.
As in, you don't want this thalomide job anyway but you want to do a bit of basic research about the position and the specific enterprise beforehand and bombard them with questions, pay conditions, what do you do? Why do you do it and if it's for this reason this way would work better.
>>127Somewhere in Africa or Asia, some random dude hired themselves by building their own home outside of a city’s borders and digging their own property.
It’s never over as long as you still have your body
>>274>>276You can also go over their heads.
>>286Just use different accounts for your resume spam and for serious business.
>>76its in your rational interest to look for higher income as long as you dont sell out your coworkers and, if you reach a higher up position, help them as much as you can. There are human bosses but never forget that in a systemic and global way, the class struggle is still real even if you got the better cut as a laborer.
>>77wrong, to be a petit burgeoise you have to own means of production, a high salary worker does not own anything besides his technical skilled labor
>>64How did that go?
>>76> IT support 1st level here for a company> Am i being turned into a labor aristocrat?Anon please, the labour aristrocracy is an abused classification. You're just a prole who was lucky enough to get a decent boss
>>77>>80Why do all morons think that proletarian, bourgeois and labour aristocrat categories are descriptors of one's side in the class war, instead of being the various factions of society than already exist?
You can have class traitors all over the place, from police to Engels
>>1071It is.
The fact that it's been commonalised by childrearing adults for labor instead of students is part of why
>>34Bruh its the opposite.
Informal labor is hated upon by everyone.
Irony is, the bureaucratic jobs people try to seek get less prospects of employment especially nowadays.
I meet people who do informal labor and depending if they save their money and spend their time wisely end up with steady employment enough to get by.
>>127This.
Adults accuse teenagers of being lazy for not having jobs but then put excessive liability laws to prevent them from being independent.
At this point, the world governments should put population control on people.
How is it sustainable to bring babies into this world when adults cannot find stable good-paying jobs?
>>1130>>1067People who ask this question usually aren't willing to follow through with doing it.
But if you're serious, be a social worker or a counselor for troubled youth.
Or be a senior care aide.
Or be a kitchen worker for migrant workers.
Or do community service.
But those probably aren't gonna be up your alley.
>>146I think the problem is you're looking too much at the economic prospect promised and not the difficulties.
>>95>>97>>54>>51>>51>>45It's funny how LeftyPol looks down on students as non proles but defend non-working adults on the basis of "adulting is too hard".
At least students are busting their ass to earn their autonomy.
>>1160>>1159That's why we should encourage secondary school students to have jobs like these instead of only having excessive extracurricular activities.
Being a student sucks money-wise
>>1165Already no the answer to why we don't have these things:
>If that was available, why would anyone join the military?Yet people still don't. It would be much better if all these people didn't get their start to their adult life in "street life" and all that kind of shit. Maybe the military should just pay more if they have trouble with recruiting.
>>1163>>1164>>1166Secondary school (grade six thru twelve) should have mandatory life skill training.
Community service should be done as a substitute for class time during spring semester.
>>1168>That and most STEM grads being entitled pricks who won't accept a job they think is beneath them. One well crafted email to the manager or HR is worth at least 10 spam applications and takes less time.This sounds like something a boomer would say.
And ironically, it's always the more senior experienced college educated workers who seem to have the most entitlement.
>>1172It's true though, both parts.
>most STEM grads being entitled pricks who won't accept a job they think is beneath themKnew so many people in my program who looked down on me for taking a university IT job. Some of them still unemployed when I left that job after half a year
>One well crafted email to the manager or HR is worth at least 10 spam applications and takes less timeYou might as well copy paste your resume into the trash can if you don't try to put it in front of a human. Only using ATS is a retard filter. The HR guy at my old job told me as much (before they stopped hiring and started outsourcing to latam).
>>1175>IT job.Isn't "using someone else's PC" a totally different skill set from programming?
How could you get a job where your qualifications are completely orthogonal?
e.g. wtf is active registry, just know it's somehow related to gconf which had never been installed on my machine?
And there's apparently a whole suite of Microsoft tools for when LaTeX isn't installed, etc.
And then there's the part where you're supposed to explain things to people.
>>1175>It's true though, both parts.Which "both parts"?
Alot of STEM grass are stuck in deadens jobs with suboptimal pay and they're accused of entitlement?
