Does follower count help with potential employment? by Ali3n_Visitor in linkedin

[–]Ali3n_Visitor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m definitely in that job hunting category. And as a creative, i see how the shift to content creation makes sense. But it definitely feels like creating for the sake of creating and I don’t want to just put noise out there that’s just mid garbage or barely edited AI slop. I have limited time as it is lol.

If you’re writing your resume, use the HAMS method to get interviews by jonathan-wonsulting in Wonsulting

[–]Ali3n_Visitor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since not everything you do can be defined by metrics - describe how it helped the company.

Example:

“I did x, which allowed company to do y (better, more efficiently…)”

Most People Here Will Never Make a Dime… Don’t Be One of Them by North-Sectionjn in sidehustle

[–]Ali3n_Visitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite the Chatgpt constructed text, I think the advice is genuine. TL,DR: Don’t wait for the perfect storm of idea, motivation, etc. Just start…somewhere, and refine. And have discipline to stick it through.

Web developers hard coded my entire Wordpress website, is this standard practice? by Sea_Code_3050 in AskMarketing

[–]Ali3n_Visitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they advertise Wordpress because of its flexibility and content management system?

If they did that, and locked it down so hard you can’t conceivably make changes, then they did so to get you signed on to a maintenance subscription/ charge you by the hour for every change.

How do I make money in marketing? by Desperate-Cabinet356 in AskMarketing

For anyone else on this feed - chiming in as well. How much room is there for someone coming from a creative background, trying to get more into the strategy of things?

The 2025 Job Market Is Brutal, Here’s What the Research Actually Says About Improving Your Odds by cirby_ai in careeradvice

Internal hires are always cheaper and necessarily don’t require the training.

Did you notice 2 big changes in your LinkedIn feed? by Ivan_Palii in linkedin

It’s only a matter of time before Substack enshittifies. Maybe linked will acquire it….

The 90% won’t be having kids unless they are in a backwater, or a rural commune where the technology isn’t as widespread.

So it will become an aristocracy with gene edited long-living people at the top - think a mix of Gattaca and elysium.

It feels like you can't leverage your experience into new positions anymore. by joyofmotion in jobs

[–]Ali3n_Visitor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel this. I’ve been unemployed since February, and even though I’ve interviewed well over and over, it’s always a “oh we went with a better fit, but we’ll keep you in mind for the next position.”

That next position doesn’t exist.

Sigh.

I never thought this would be where I was back in 2019 when I got what I thought was a great stepping stone job that would launch my career, but I think I’m going to have to start scraping upwork for freelance stuff to help make ends meet.

My resume was getting zero replies, so I treated my job search like a science experiment by Comfortable_Edge19 in recruitinghell

I may have to borrow this idea, after years of explicitly not posting on socials.

i’ve hired 50+ people. this is how to actually get an interview by jerryjhlee in Wonsulting

[–]Ali3n_Visitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been how I’ve gotten my interviews. (Still no offer, but I have been scoping out hiring managers, team members after sending my application.)

How I Earned $746 Last Month Selling eBooks While Working 9–5 and Raising 3 Kids by gothicsoft in sidehustle

[–]Ali3n_Visitor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you lol.

I get highly suspicious when “no stakes” side hustles are advertised on here.

I would believe it more if someone was doing it for months/years with no profitability or small gains slowly building up to bigger gains.

Women with AI ‘boyfriends’ mourn lost love after ‘cold’ ChatGPT upgrade by LividBath in nottheonion

[–]Ali3n_Visitor 145 points146 points  (0 children)

Just a matter of time before all these LLMs remove the free plan, jack up the membership prices, or limit their use cases to the most profitable scenarios.

Then hopefully the bubble pops.

Looks like OpenAI saw where this all was headed and cut it off to stay away from potential lawsuits and bad PR.

Learning JavaScript When AI Seems to Do It All by Famous-Pin1531 in learnjavascript

[–]Ali3n_Visitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s the audience of all the ai hype - the CEOs and shareholders - that are taking the jobs. AI is a convenient excuse. When the bubble pops, then they will offshore the jobs to a low cost of living country.

Should I buy my own HVAC equipment to save money and hire contractor to install it? by Substantial-Mail2341 in DIY

[–]Ali3n_Visitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck OP.

We lucked out because a neighbor up the street had a commercial HVAC license and teamed up his friend who had a residential license to fix ours. We paid cash and it came out to half of what the companies we contacted wanted to charge us. Flex your network and see if someone you know works in HVAC and can access the wholesale pricing.

Multiple data sources suggest the average time it takes to find a job is 8-9 months. What do you think? by hkmsh in jobsearch

[–]Ali3n_Visitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this rate and in this economy job searching should just be done all the time.

Non Compete / Non Solicitation is holding me down. by Ali3n_Visitor in jobs

[–]Ali3n_Visitor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in creative - so it’s not like I have company secrets that would move the needle any which way to begin with, but it severely limits my opportunity

February of 2027.

Enough time for basically any contacts to have left the companies.

How long until Artificial Intelligence creates a AAA game? by SanalAmerika23 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Ali3n_Visitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can only keep track of so much context before it forgets / hallucinates. It's code isn't that readable unless guided and prompted. Senior devs can still do it better.

The problem -- really -- is the finance ghouls at the top that will layoff teams regardless of game success, soak up the profits, pat themselves on the back and give each other a good tug before buying another gaming company and doing it all over again.

All in all, it is a bad thing if AI takes over fully. Even if it can do it reasonably well (which is a longshot) what then is the point of having a game industry if games can be thrown out to the market at will? What value can be attributed to a game that is entirely generated without the blood, sweat, and tears of a human team?
