any resources for writing computer toucher resumes and getting back up to speed after a long uh hiatus. ive been out of work for just a little longer than covid has been raging, so just about two years now. i had to walk from my last remote webtoucher job after almost a decade due to a long history of missed paydates and constantly getting ghosted by my boss that was causing significant hardship both financially and mentally. i have little to nothing to show from it in the way of projects, clients, networking so i've been having a tough time finding work even though i had semi-decent chops. I pretty much gave up looking for work halfway through 2020 after months of no interviews or any communication beyond an occasional rejection. anyway i need work soon so if yall know anything i should do to help me get back up to speed skills wise and any leads on some kind of remote computer/web touching job would be appreciated. i would even accept something in that realm even if the pay is modest. It's more important that I have money coming in at this point. I got a decade of remote work experience under my belt doing webdev, mostly through CMS like DNN & WordPress. Lots of experience programming in C#/.NET, PHP, SQL anything from custom integrations to standalone bespoke apps and services. I also handled servers/hosting, e-mail, migrations, client support and maintenance. Basically CTO/IT/Lead dev/Support in one. did not get paid well unfortunately. no formal education just a long history of google and throwing myself at it over and over again. appreciate any help. edit: guess i should mention i am in NC Reverend Zero has issued a correction as of 09:37 on Sep 28, 2021 |
