  • My current job, I applied and got a call from HR for a short phone call to schedule another longer phone interview later that week.

    They ghosted me, a week later a staffing company cold called me about a position that later turned about to be the same one I got ghosted on. They were able to get me an interview with the manager I’d be working for which I aced, and they hired me at a rate above what I was hoping for.

    If HR hadn’t fucking ghosted me they would’ve had me a week sooner at lower pay, instead it took longer, they paid me more, and had to pay the staffing company a finders fee on top of it all.








  • I hope your ed gets better, comrade

    ty, I know I can do it, I made some progress a couple years ago, it’s just about finding the effort to keep chipping away at it instead of being complacent

    What do you plan on studying?

    I work in IT, so studying for and passing some kind of certification and then job hopping is the most direct path to $$$, as for what cert specifically? Dunno, when it’s not knowledge I get to use daily it’s hard to find the motivation to sit down and consistently study. The stuff I find interesting feels like it would be less helpful in a job hunt cause I’m just so far down the ladder from where it would used, and the stuff I should study is boooooooooring
