#get hired

[tyrannosaurus-trainwreck]

Are you searching for a job right now? Are you flinging your resumes and cover letters into the void in the cold and bitter hopes that someone, somewhere, might hire you to do something that you don't actually want to do for far too many hours a week in this, your one and precious life?

If so, I am fucking begging you to please for the love of god use a real grownup-sounding email and name your resume and cover letter something that is not KeyboardSmash.jpg.docx(1).pdf*

When you send me a resume that's like Janet Smith, [email protected], you do seem fun. You do. But I'm not hiring you to be fun, I'm hiring you to be someone who won't burn the place down or leave the place unlocked all weekend.

Also, HR has to be able to successfully email you to tell you that you got the job, and there seems to be a real inverse correlation between that and the number of Xs and underscores in the email they're trying to type. Assume everyone at HR has resumes named KeyboardSmash.jpg.docx(1).pdf and is real good at computer, and plan accordingly.

If you're like "But I never check [email protected] and therefore won't see the acceptance email anyway :(", most email systems will let you auto-forward anything that comes in to another email address. Set the grownup-sounding email to forward to the email you do check.

Please also for the love of fuck stop putting your birthdate in your goddamned grownup-sounding email. Employers aren't allowed to ask outside of "are you old enough to legally have this job" for a reason. Stop just handing them that information for free.

*Also do not fucking name it Resume.pdf. There comes a point when a hiring committee that's wading through 53 files helpfully named Resume.pdf starts developing a really unreasonable fondness for the one motherfucker who thought to name their resume JacobRoberts_Resume_Position#.pdf

Heyo, I'm Bit. I'm a 16-year-old nonbinary sysadmin-in-training, site designer, and full-time student. I'm opening up site commissions for static websites, personal websites, businesses, or blogs. I don't have much to show at the moment besides my personal blog. If you're interested, read on!

I typically charge $25/a project, depending on the complexity (think blogs, basic restaurants/menus, personal sites, etc). I'll let you know before I start working/charge. Hosting's typically $15/mo with SSH/FTP access, coming pre-setup. Payment's through Cash App, my handle is $squabbled.

I reserve the right to decline any offers for any reason, including but not limited to, pornography, hate speech, dog-whistles, trolling, or any other nasty content. I also reserve the right to negotiate the price, although once given a price and confirmed, I will not change or modify our deal.

Contact me through the following places! Email: contact[@]squabbled[dot]net Phone (Call or text, I likely won't answer but do leave a voicemail): [phone] Signal: @squabbled.37 And feel free to share this! I don't have a job and just do freelance work so it really helps out a lot <3

Ask A Recruiter

A new series I'm doing! Hi! I'm Rin, I'm a Recruiter. A recruiter is someone who manages the hiring process for a job role. They seek out new candidates by sourcing, networking, and attending hiring events. Additionally, they review applications that come in for a job posting, filter through candidates, conduct screenings, sit-in on interviews, and create/extend offers of employment. What makes us different from the rest of the HR department is that Talent Acquisition (Recruiting) is our sole job-focus. I've been in recruiting for 8 years now. While most of my time has been focused on IT recruiting, I've recruited all sorts of positions from entry-level production to sr. director roles. I love what I do (it's one of my Special Interests even!) but I also recognize there's a bit of confusion about the hiring process here in the US that might need some clearing up. So go ahead, reply to this message, shoot me one to my ask box and I'll do my best to answer your questions!

Random fun fact

If you are ever looking for a job and the job application says you need X years of experience, subtract 2 or 3 from that number and if you do have that much experience than go for the job. Most places that hire will actually overlook the fact that you “don’t have enough experience” cause they usually do need people. As long as you basically prove that you are worth it and you have most of the other skills required, you’ll probably get the job.

In short: if you want a job and they want 3 years of experience, apply to the job cause they’ll still probably hire you despite not having the years of experience.
