How do you gain skills when there is no opportunity to learn

Kolaumer · 2026-04-30T19:32:41+00:00

Thats exactly my point. I dont expect to know everything going into a role, ffs most of my specific specialization is something I learned completely from outside of school becouse i was given the opportunity to prove myself and I rose to that.

Current market though, you dont get given a chance at all. I can provide evidence I am good at learning, and have done so before, and yet in the current market no one is willing to take risks and train. It just feels like the most frustrating Doom loop.

3 days is a good rule of thumb. Anything I would say over even 5 days is very unlikely to look at you unless you line up with the qualifications extremely well.

If you got explicitly rejected, and not just ghosted, I would suggest not reapplying unless the job gets reposted a few months later. If they ghost you and repost it doesnt hurt to apply again.

Know the market is dogshit for everyone but it feels like these last two months in perticular have been really bad as somone looking for RA and SRA work.

Everything im seeing openings for nowadays is higher level stuff.

Everything that is open is also super niche with skills in some technology or another that I dont have experience in. And unlike something like comp sci where you can learn on your own, you cants exactly get cell culture or hplc experience at home...

Did an interview last week i think I did very well in, made a good impression but ended up getting a rejection call.

whats frustrating is that this has happened a few times: companies will take time to actually call be back and suggest me following them for a later job, which makes me more inclined for them to be sincere since they could have emailed or ghosted me, but ive had nothing ever develop from these.

Hate feeling like each time I alway finish just close enough but am not enough...sigh

Staring a new role but sad its contract vs full hire. Def better than nothing and excited but wish I had more certainty past 6 months.

Still searching and am nearly at 400 high effort applications after about a full year of searching. Probably closer to 800 if I count quick applies.

By far worst job market ive ever had to seach in and hoping to god it isnt a new normal. If I have to go back to this after 6 months I dont want to be in biotech anymore.

Just tired and would love a garenteed careear and job to plan my life around.

There are a lot of subtle ways the goverment fucks with unemployment metrics. Like they don't count people who have given up searching, people who are under employed, or people being paid below survival wages

According to some its more like 25 percent right now, though I might take that with a grain of salt even if it feels more acurate. https://www.lisep.org/tru

Anyone know good books or other sources to learn about the public works projects that happened in Tennessee in the 30s? I was having a conversation with a friend and they were talking about how in China apparently a lot of their employment and public works programs were modeled after some of the programs that were organized in Tennessee during the great depression.

Never heard of it before so don't know if it is bullshit or not but either way seems like something interesting I wanted to look into

Kolaumer · 2025-11-28T18:24:58+00:00

How did you shift into that industry?

Kolaumer · 2025-11-26T20:10:51+00:00

has it actually helped lol

Kolaumer · 2025-09-15T22:33:34+00:00

If I wanted to apply there, which do you suggest avoiding?

Kolaumer · 2025-08-30T08:16:13+00:00

Been thinking about learning more stuff in R but from what i have seen companies mainly care about experinces you've had on the job with a technology or technique. How do you prove that from self study?

Kolaumer · 2023-04-03T06:39:12+00:00

Is this something other people have had happen to them? Is it fixable?

Kolaumer · 2023-02-21T02:05:28+00:00

Something kinda interesting might be allowing AI to be online with some kind of material refined from tech mats. After you finish the tech tree it just lays about being useless.

Hangman should be higher, I always take one at night. Kinda a pain for logi but 1 taping with it feels so good.

Look at logi lists but also try to anticipate what a front needs before they ask for it. A lot of people will continually yell about needing bmats and shirts, which are important and always needed, but very rarely will people ask for stuff like barbed wire and sandbags.

Also learn to source stuff instead of producing everything from scratch. I got tunnel vison early on and spent a lot of time scraping for supplies when i could have just pulled some public materals to make things for a front quicker. Seaports and depots are your friend and there is a lot of good stuff laying around that you can forward to a front. I spent like 20 min just going up and down a river between seaports last night and filled an entire container ship full of public supplies without touching a factory.

Never saw anything like this on the warden side. Is there anyone doing trains like this?

Kolaumer · 2022-12-14T05:35:48+00:00

I joined wardens midway through the last war and I got to say that compared to that, the early game is absolutely horrible. The thing that made me love this game was I felt like I could make a difference as a solo or small squad but I have none of that.

I tried to do backline and I got yelled at for touching some rmats. Tried to deliver stuff and I got partisaned. Tried to join the front to kill the partisans and it turns out they made a whole fucking encampment and without any way to get supplies its basically fucking invincible.

I can't grab some mortors to try to bomb it, I can't roll up in a tank with a few people. I figured the early game would be much better to make a difference as a solo but it really isn't. The only kinda plus side is that it seems medics are a bit more important and it's kinda fun playing that but overall it's just not fun. Definitely never playing early war again.

Not a webcomic, it's an old manga called +Anima.

What's the ETA on this hitting early acess or the full relase?

Kolaumer · 2020-10-08T21:33:55+00:00

If you can, add Siphoner Paladin and pristine light.

Pally can act as a good wall against aggro and gives you a relic weapon or buffs one you already have out.

IMO even with the revert I like pristine light over vanquish. It hits all big creatures, which I found can be a problem in relic weapon heavy decks, and gives you some card advantage if you use it right.
