I’m Schedule A, have a few letters of recommendation, have my resume, and I’m getting my Bachelor’s degree in Communications in one month. I’m Latino or Latina (?) so I guess there’s some DEI service I can utilize.
…I can’t fucking wait. I need a job. I need income. I need a fucking car or transportation. I need to move from this place.
It’s Joever, folks… for Makan, ig? Idk, I had to squeeze in the current lingo there. But as the Joe(ker) himself said, the four-letter word on everyone’s minds is “Jobs! J-O-B-S!” (Yeah, I had to Segway to an old Biden gaffe there, you see).
Anyway, I’m not anti-work, like what they have on that subreddit… and I’ve never exactly been “neutral” on work either.
I’m “pro-work,” if anything. I want a career. I want a job or role I can take pride in. I’m disabled, yes. I’m Autistic, among other things. But gosh darnit to frick (I know, I know, naughty and vulgar language), I need a job. Maybe a union job with LiUNA or whatever. But I need a job.
But for the life of me, I suck at job-hunting.
I’m not sure what details to give to you all, but I need pointers on how to land a job, maybe you can all tell me how you were able to do it (…assuming you did, mind you)?
I just need advice…
You’re American, I just noticed.
Still, I think it’s a good idea to improve your skills in your field. Even if you don’t care for the company or organization, try to at least make it seem like you just want to work in general, that you’re passionate about it.
It will be harder to convince others that you’re motivated, if you have too many gaps in your knowledge.
Yeah, the gaps in knowledge are no bueno, at this point.
Any pointers on finding certifications?
I have an IT background, so I really couldn’t tell you. I didn’t even need a certification because prices are fixed worldwide, and I live in a low income country. But it’s good idea to look for certifications, it will give you an idea of the skills that are in demand.
Good point.
