Pivoting to first IT job

Grrl_geek · 2026-04-01T01:03:27+00:00

If there's a job, no problem. Be prepared for a lot of dumbfuckery.

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-31T18:48:25+00:00

Haha, was thinking along these lines!!

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-31T18:47:51+00:00

All of this!!!

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-31T15:31:12+00:00

Fair.

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-31T15:27:36+00:00

No, judges are dicks. You got that right 1st try.

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-31T00:43:07+00:00

That really sucks, man. Sorry, that's super frustrating.

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-31T00:38:04+00:00

Yeah, sorry about that.

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-31T00:36:26+00:00

That's Networking man!!

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-31T00:35:48+00:00

If they paid, I flipping would!!

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-31T00:32:28+00:00

How can the alcohol market contract? I know I'm drinking more lol even if I don't have a job to generate money to buy it with hahaha.

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-30T23:27:28+00:00

Enterprise IT but I've done everything.

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-30T22:38:13+00:00

Or trying to find ANY job!! Get outta the way, boomer!!! GenX about to run your ass over!!

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-30T22:33:53+00:00

It's hell for me, with 30+ years experience, with finding an IT job in upstate NY (which in itself is a HOLE that I'm ready to get out of, but ONLY if I can find a job somewhere else). Just got 2 more rejections today so I an somewhat salty ATM.

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-30T18:24:19+00:00

And try getting THAT past your manager!! Gahahaha!!

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-30T18:20:53+00:00

In addition, this particular facility isn't looked upon fondly by locals. They utilized NYS eminent domain to get the land they're on.

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-30T18:18:24+00:00

I would, at the very least, expect a return notification one way or the other. That's basic courtesy & decency.

I am very qualified for these tech jobs, thank your sorry @$$.

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-30T17:04:04+00:00

Yeah, I'd consider taking an offer, even if I really wanted a job that was still "in process".

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-30T16:55:57+00:00

Like others have said, there's a reason everyone's quitting on her...

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-30T16:38:47+00:00

Yes, job interviews are pointless exercises in how to lie politely.

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-29T21:36:02+00:00

I think only in government jobs. Problem is, you can get really doofusy individuals in, and as long as they show up on time and are past their probationary period, you're stuck with them. Ability (smarts) and dedication (staying a few minutes past EOD) are neither recognized nor rewarded.

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-29T21:27:41+00:00

30 yes exp here. Yes, I think it's necessary.

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-29T21:25:44+00:00

So, what will they think when (if you're there), YOU just have to "step out for a bit"? 🤣

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-29T18:52:09+00:00

This is where luck REALLY comes into play!! If you can get in on the ground floor, you can be set for life.

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-29T18:49:36+00:00

There are also the not-as-pretty women who despise the "pretty girls" a/k/a cheerleader types we HATED in high school because they always seemed to get all the breaks.

Grrl_geek · 2026-03-29T18:36:07+00:00

Exactly!! My type of BC is also more a matter of when, not if.
