jeebus bob posted:But if that application is unlikely to get you an interview, what's the point? Do you derive satisfaction from the symbolic act of pressing send on a web form? Probably. I buy Powerball tickets knowing that I'll lose because buying one gives me a buy in to dream about what I would do with the money if I did win. Similar vibe

the worst job application i ever filled out was IT director for some NGO, and I did the usual bullshit of uploading your resume, then entering your information and work history into the next several form screens of what was already in the resume. after that was a page with like 10 essay questions, dumb poo poo like "what do you believe the role of non-profits are in todays society" anyway i assumed i would definetly at least get an interview because no one in their right mind would spend the 4 hours it took to me apply for 1 job and there would probably be a limited candidate pool. well you can guess how that went, a thank you form letter 6 months later letting me know the position had been filled. too bad this was before the days of chatGPT where i could have just copied and pasted an answer in in a couple minutes.

That's a shock *job advice voice* did you try saying in your cover letter that you really wanted the job

The pilot guy who makes videos about pilot stuff I watch on youtube is doing a series on how Boeing managed to piss their entire reputation down the drain to chase quarterly number that seems very this thread appropriate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCbHpJShoXk

My advice is getting years of experience in a very niche technical field before anyone else finds out about it Until that bubble pops I just pick a job from whatever companies are harassing me to work for them

I looked it up and he's specifically saying they should build the factories that make Iron Dome components, so it's less "build the bombs that kill them" and more "build the thing that prevents them from shooting back" which I'm sure would work out just great.

quote:There’s no better way to turn an enemy into an ally than to give him a job. That may sound far-fetched, but history is on my side. After Germany’s surrender in 1945, amid a landscape of destroyed cities, the Marshall Plan helped rebuild Germany into a peaceful ally. The reconstruction of Japan started during occupation under Gen. Douglas MacArthur. We did a pretty good job because—wouldn’t you know it—behind China and the U.S., Japan is third in the world in global manufacturing output. Germany is fourth, Italy seventh. Ah yes, famously prosperous postwar Japan and Germany quote:This hiring of old enemies is still happening. All those antiwar protesters from the 1960s and ’70s, including “Hanoi Jane” Fonda, would be shocked to learn that their iPads, AirPods and Apple Watches are sourced in Vietnam. What exactly do you think people were protesting in the 60's and 70's??? Anyway you get far enough down and the mask slips a little more and he starts creepily salivating over the concept of even more cheap exploitable labor: quote:So turn Gaza and the West Bank into factory floors assembling defense systems, although maybe add the explosives elsewhere. Bring great jobs and a middle class to their mostly poor inhabitants—they can even work on Saturdays!—without handouts from the politicized United Nations. Turn Gaza into Hong Kong, a place of free trade, or Mexico, a neighbor with a cheap but effective labor force.

Because "the whole world saw how well the iron dome performed recently and so everyone's going to want to buy an export version" so you see the Palestinians could get in on the GROUND FLOOR He does throw in "and semiconductors" almost as an afterthought near the end too, but yeah this is definitely a half-baked toilet thought this dude had while reading some news article about the iron dome shooting some stuff down and being all Buck Turgidson "boy I sure wish we had one o' them iron domes" about it.
