trans marxist leninist that is very mentally fucked at the moment XD

  • Ugh I hate doc, pain; thought that by using a beautiful LaTeX document I would stand out compared to poorly formatted docs lol

    Not exactly inclined to post my face up with all the "AI" scrapers going on, and just sucks that then with a linkedin anyone will be able to search me by my legal name and find me just ugh feels anathema to all the privacy I've practiced over the years

    Tysm when I'm free I'll DM you my cv!!

  • Thank you! I'm in Europe so I don't know if ziptecruiter is available(?) from what I saw from a quick search but I'll check them out

  • Huh I'll try and let you know how it goes! Seems a better approach than despair posting on Linkedin lmao

  • Oh I'll just get discriminated, I know many people got straight up rejected at interviews because of masking, it's very widespread sadly so

  • I've mostly just looked on Indeed and occasionally applied without an account, didnt know about monster; I thought recruiters only gave you offers if you were way more important than an absolute beginner with no work experience.

    Yea I just want a position so I can at least get 1y of experience and then have my life easier switching

  • Don't think it would work with me because I mask and would seem out of place lol

  • I have a couple of friends that already work in tech so I could use them, just didnt think the lying part was that easy lol, also I'm how much it would work considering for half a year I was supposedly doing university (though I assume I can just omit that?). For my CV I use https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV. I know they use "AI" to filter it, so I try to put in keywords and such already, idk if I should just use LLM slop in it directly at this point considering it's all this circlejerk of the stochastic parrot lol

    It's just absurd when you see the requirements they list and it's usually like 80% proprietary software I have zero experience with and not like I can have in the first place in a selfhosted setting. For me language barrier is also an issue considering I'm in a foreign country than my own and I don't know the language at all, beginning to learn it now; so ugh

    Thank you for the detailed reply!!

  • These days I can use elementary business knowledge, middle school math, and LTV to demonstrate that the positions I've worked create upwards of $100 of net exchange value per hour, sometimes upwards of $200 or even more.

    Hey, could you detail how do you apply this to any job? I'm not that good at economics, thank you!

  • I wear a headstrap N95 so I find that it's impossible to have a cute haircut with it tbh, so I just tie my hair back, and even with the mask I don't think I look more feminine

  • Seen others that mask maybe every 2 months, yea it's very rare, though most of the time they ignore me lol; also wish it was only dirty looks.. a literal grandma that was with her grandchildren flipped me off in public LMAO, but I mean most of the incidents aren't like that but way worse and I feel physically in danger

  • Yea I've only had "success" with usertesting. They haven't sent me anything to fill out so far. It's just a shitty disgusting data broker website but I need the money:( (if ill ever get any lmao)

  • I have a thinkpad t14 gen 5 intel and it's working wonderfully, hands down the best laptops. I also use Linux. The "AI" processors just mean it has a NPU to make running LLMs and such, easier it doesn't have a literal built in "AI"

  • Thinkpad T series or P series. Latest T series isvery repairable with official ifixit guides, compoennts will be produced 15+ years from now on, arguably the less shittier laptop of them all
