I’ve never had to do a job interview. 5 different jobs, all word of mouth.

I would also like to know where people network to find jobs. Haven’t had any luck. I just want a help desk role.

A lot of it has been family and college. The college I attended has a research group that allows students to do internships.

The college also runs job fairs every one in a while. Those kinds of things I huge.

Conventions of any kind as well, where you can speak to people in booths, or even any of the other attendees.

I’ve been to college job fairs and went to conferences. Didn’t really help.

My first ever job was running a wood chipper under my uncles tree business. Did that almost every weekend for a number of years. Even sometimes in the winter. I wasn’t even a teenager when I first started this job.

Second job was working in a warehouse at a company my mom worked at. They really needed weekend help.

My third job was doing landscaping over the summer at a smallish company where my brother in law worked at. The owner loved to hire students for cheap.

Fourth was a few software development internships ran by a research group at my college. I had a friend who was part of the group and vouched for me.

My current job is my first true career job as a software engineer. The project manager from one of the internships I had actually got a job as CTO at this company. Offered me a junior position there out of college. Been there almost 6 years.

I have applied to places where I certainly would have needed interviews, but I was never offered an opportunity.

To make this even more awesome is that I’ve interviewed candidates myself at my current job for junior positions.

I thought I only had some ADHD, MFW filling out the psychiatrist’s questionnaire and I’m marking everything on the inattentive section as “almost always”

Sadbutdru , 29 days ago

? isn’t scoring highly on the inattentive section consistent with having ‘some ADHD’?

No idea I have my first session next week, I’ll know more then. This was all just some homework they gave me to do beforehand.

Im the person who’s been “chosen by the people” to do “IT stuff”. Family, friends, teachers, and neighbours reach out to me for the simplest tasks. Stuff they could probably figure out on their own, but insist I do for them.

I’m a nightmare for my school administrators, as I know my way around every blocking and monitoring thing they’ve set up on the school equipment.

I’ve also caused headaches for the entire city wide school system, as I got cloudflare to (unintentionally) block traffic from our ip address, and since all traffic is funnleded trough a VPN to a central gateway (all schools in said city use the vpn) ,meaning I blocked 66k kids from using the internet for 15m. ( I didn’t get in trouble :3)

I am a woman who prefers short men.

Persen , 29 days ago

So you also like them short in bed?

xilliah , 29 days ago

Ah I like bald men, especially if they have some hair left. Issue is I don’t like insecure men

Shame society perpetuates certain things to be insecure about. Just makes it harder to love people with said insecurities.
