sonatinas posted:I’ve been trying to find remote work too. I had an excellent shot and was preferred candidate but then company knew somebody at the last min willing to relocate. good luck goon EFFORT POST INCOMING my advice to anyone looking for a wfh gig: - make an email address just for job searching - set up a google phone number or buy a burner or something if you don't want your phone number sold to every scammer and coldcalling salesperson on the planet. or be ready to change your phone number after you land a job - make a resume. in the resume, briefly describe your wfh setup (pc specs, # of monitors if you have multiples, internet connection type and speed, etc). say you have remote work experience. (if you don't actually have remote work experience, just lie and say you do remote video captioning work on Rev or some poo poo like that. "remote work experience" is just a way of saying "i know how to use computer") - make a nice looking linkedin profile with a picture of yourself and set it to "looking for work" - may want to go ahead and install and (re)familiarize yourself with the common remote job programs: office, zoom, slack, teams, ringcentral - prep ahead of time for interviews. i suck at talking to people so i made a cheat sheet with answers to common interview questions. kept me from floundering around too much. be prepared for video call interviews - get a cam and headset if you don't have them. don't sweat it if you bomb the first few interviews, just think of them as practice runs - sign up for multiple job search sites. i used indeed, linkedin, zip recruiter, rat race rebellion, my state's employment site, and a temp agency for the field i was looking in. i liked indeed the best because they have a good remote-only search, employers have to pay to post so that cuts down on scam postings, and their mobile app made it very easy for me to spam out my resume from my phone literally all day long. it was even easy to do simple little cover letters on there because it autosaves the last one you sent, so you can just edit it a little bit each time as needed instead of writing a whole new one every time. i got the most responses from indeed and that's where i got hired from - run searches at least once a day, multiple times a day is even better. some sites will let you set up alerts for new postings. job postings pop up quickly, but they get taken down quickly too when hundreds of resumes immediately start pouring in - apply like crazy. apply for everything legit looking that seems tolerable, even if it's only tolerable enough to be a placeholder job until you find something else. apply for poo poo you think you probably don't have a chance in hell of getting. go loving hog wild - if you have enough free time, start stacking up free certifications, even if they're not relevant to the jobs you're looking for. they pad out your resume nicely and it makes you look like a smart, ambitious person who is willing and able to learn new stuff it's tiresome, it's annoying, it sucks, it will make you want to scream but somehow even with my lovely weak rear end resume i managed to brute force my way into a fully remote job that i never expected to get, and is better paying than any loving job than i have ever had before in my entire life. not trying to brag, i'm trying to encourage and motivate the jobseekers in here. if a horrible little goony goon like me with a mostly food service background and no social skills can do it, so can you! it is possible, keep looking, don't give up!!! now might be a better time than ever to score a good remote gig. boomers are retiring or dying out of the work force in droves. some of your potential competition is literally too loving sick to even apply for jobs right now. many companies are shifting to remote on a more permanent basis and are desperate to fill suddenly open positions osprey fucked around with this message at 16:38 on Aug 17, 2021 |

Real Mean Queen posted:You're completely right. Portland has a decent food scene, and it's set up in a way that's been very interesting to watch during the last year and change. Our restaurants took a hit while they were closed for indoor dining, but most of them switched over to doing to-go food pretty fast and many of them survived. At the same time, though, we've got shitloads of food carts that never had to miss a step due to dining room closures because they don't have those anyway. Nobody in this city went a single day without the ability to buy a hot meal, you can even get some guy to drive it to you for an extra fifteen bucks or so. I can see this argument about restaurant tyrants. But I have to imagine continuing to prepare meals on a faceless assembly line for delivery is also sort of dehumanizing in its way? Maybe moreso for owners or front of house, obviously, but those businesses are built on relationships and community involvement. (And exploitation, yes.) IDK, I haven't done food service in like 20 years and I was loving terrible at it and was banished to wash dishes, so I am no authority.

It's nice if it's not a risk to your health to grab takeout but we're definitely at the point that if a takeout place isn't masking, it's a risk to your health. It probably is anyhow. I guess I can see the point of "oh I love x shithole tiny local place, I want to make sure they stay open during all this" if you're super passionate about the business, but if you're risking your life for goddamned applebees, what the gently caress. euphronius posted:restaurants get extremely hot grills (compared to homes) which makes a big difference for a lot of food yeah, their fried rice in particular gets this crunchy crust on it because it's a hibachi/teppanyaki joint and I'm definitely not replicating that at home. Fitzy Fitz posted:Everyone always says MSG, but yeah it's probably MSG. Maybe sesame oil, fish/oyster sauce, or black vinegar. I actually suspect I'm not using the same type of vodka (or enough) that they use. MSG is a possibility, so is fish sauce.  You reminded me about black vinegar, though, and now that's something else to add to my Amazon order. So thank you for that.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:I haven't gone to a restaurant since March of 2020, I no longer give a gently caress about any of that and I'll never eat out again like I used to do all the time. I openly look down on the loving morons who are risking their lives for that garbage. Last time I was at a dine-in restaurant was in late February of 2020. Since then I've had takeout maybe three or four times and had home-made food that we didn't prepare like twice. A lot of my job is selling to-go items to restaurants and coffee shops and this past summer has pretty much turned me off to eating dine-in in a restaurant ever again. The behavior of restaurant owners throughout the pandemic has been absolutely abhorrent and there's only one or two in this town that I would probably ever patronize again. We have a lot of fantastic restaurants here but seeing how the owners have disregarded everyone's health and safety here in order to cater to chud tourists has been demoralizing. The worst part is, all this loving pissing and moaning about how they can't get anyone to work for them or nobody wants the lovely pay they're offering - a lot of restaurant owners ONLY operate in the summer here. The second october rolls around they literally board up their restaurants with plywood and gently caress off to Arizona, Hawaii, Mexico, etc for the winter. They whine and whine that everyone they employ shouldn't expect good pay and should have to earn a good wage and then padlock their business for 6 months out of the year and skip town.
