nepotism's the best way to get jobs for sure but i gotta say my most recent experience required me to be willing to leave a city or even being close to a city, but still urbanized enough to have basically whatever you need. huge pay bump and they really appreciated someone who had citified professional experience. best career move ive made in my life. the trade off was moving. the real downside is rural healthcare is bad because of a lack of actual physicians, not to mention specialists anyway all that's to say consider relocating, if you dont have kids to gently caress up you might find you like the different pace to life, like i did

Dear CSAM, I never thought it could happen to me. In my companies entire product line of about 1,000 people Id say half of us were hired on remote. Hundreds of miles from the closest office location. Its an extremely lovely job but the dynamics of it had me thinking that any RTO would be nearly impossible so its been worth floating on. We all just recieved notice that we are to head into the nearest office 3 days per week regardless of distance. Unless their goal is to fire basically everyone im not sure how this is going to work, but I'm excited to see it play out. For the past few weeks I've been responding to a lot of job postings. No response so far unless you count all the scam emails I now recieve.

Why do they not just have one unified account. Also I've had plenty of interviews that I thought went well, they'd say they would get back to me in a few days and a week later they got nothing and won't return my emails. they all parse resumes so badly, like bro im not writing a separate blurb of what i did just read my resume

Hundreds of miles from the closest office location. It's a way to juice commercial real estate valuations + layoff huge swathes of the work force w/o firing and severance etc. Have fun OP. And welcome back to the office there's a fresh pot on 5 smile.

No matter how I format it on my resume I always have to reenter what my college degree is because it parses where I went but not what I studied. Bafflingly bad.

Being unemployed made me realize how truly long a day is. So many hours and so many things to do. The real reason they don't want to hire people with gaps in their resume is because you've seen too much. You might start spreading dangerous ideas if they let you back inside.

i can tell you the answer re: workday and its exactly as sulk describes, applicants are unique to each tenant. now it would be loving awesome if worked on a shared basis but i think its illegal for them to share candidates that way for now

fwiw (and was just mentioned upthread) i've never gotten a single response from an indeed 'easy apply' option which is obviously because each posting received thousands of applicants

yeah idk seems like a lot pf goons are helpdesk or programmers working in large cities which right now sounds like a bad thing employment wise. everyone took hillary's advice and learned to code (when they really should have gone to nursing school instead) and now tech is deflating and those skills arent as needed in big cities anymore
