Keep it light, keep it moving.

My mind is telling me no but my weed is telling me how bad could it be.

I don’t think we need to change anything when all we get are these Storm Trooper assassins with no aim. 🙄

I’m unsure if it’s different here outside the States. I’ve been using Indeed and its local variants where I at least get someone on the phone regularly. But on LinkedIn, it’s like all my applications fall into a void. Even recruiters who cold-contact me on there with an offer seem to ghost me immediately. It doesn’t help that it’s the only site where salaries aren’t posted, which is kind of a big deal considering how little some companies want to pay for junior and mid-level devs.

But tbh, sometimes I feel like companies exploit the application process to get people’s info to input into a marketing database. I once got on a call with someone asking me for my height and weight. Like, what does my body size have to do with the job where I sit at a computer all day? Maybe I’m wrong but those kinds of details can only be used for discrimination or to kidnap me, right? Even my friend was weirded out by that one when I asked him if that had ever happened to him over the years and he said no.

Funnily enough, as a kid I always associated shoplifting with women stealing cosmetics and once saw a woman run past me with a security guard chasing after her. It’s one of the only crimes I do associate primarily with women but only because of circumstance. Lol

I’ve yet to find any sort of success from using LinkedIn to find job opportunities. Of all the job hunting sites out there, I find it the least helpful, often giving preference to employers rather than candidates in the hiring process. It sucks ass.

I knew someone who got caught up in their pyramid marketing scheme. The prizes were some low quality shit. The watch they won got badly scratched and the wristband’s pin fell off the same day from regular use. It was pretty funny watching it disintegrate in real time.
