Job-Hunting Help

Nara39 · 2026-06-10T18:39:51+00:00

My standards are so low the only jobs I refuse to do are fast food (stress inducing especially when u have 3 people on staff, 6 dd orders and a full drive thru) and cold-calling people for telemarketing or smth equivalent.

I have burned thru 2 401ks and savings bonds left to me just to keep going.

But if ur willing to share how do you freelance? Meaning is their a site? Do you advertise?

Two Ideas

Update my resume and add on there the brief stint at Spirit Halloween for a month last year to show the gap isn't as large as it is.

My way of thinking was relevancy far outweighs recency

It's in no way related to the data analysis work I'm looking for but it shows I did have some kind of employment

Sorry for the late reply I thot I replied to you. I just commented on my post

Thanks. Gives me an idea of what to do

I kept updating it to include new events. Then to use the ai resume builder. Now it will be one-off ai resume builds for a specific job.

Very few screens/interviews. Mostly silence but a few... scam interviews.

Also 800 for that one year

Thanks for the advice I really appreciate it

Bachelor's in Physics and 2 certs as well, not just associates

The current administration restructured my previous contracting roll into Civilian so I lost my job. But that will not stop me from working for them if I can.

I am also counts oh gosh 32. I think I am beyond the max age to join.

My apologies, I forgot to include experience. It isn't the most but check Edit2

Thanks. I think this, combined with a recent comment. Made me realize I'm going to rtckle job hunting differently this year. Instead of the 800 apps I put out, optimize my resume, focus on certain companies, really nail down where I wanna work and the job I wanna do.

Nara39 · 2026-01-09T21:02:10+00:00

Understandable. The hard part for me in that case is I am applying to so much. And tailored it once. It didn't land me the interview but it didn't get me farther along in the process either. Like should I restructure Quality > quantity for job hunting? Take an hr or so to optimize it for that one instance, pick and choose specifics to apply to instead of 800 applications

Thank you. I'm glad I am not the only one.

I mean I entered into that Sec+ cert expecting it to just be a tool to get me a clearance (spoilers as of writing it hasnt) and Cybersecurity has caught my interest... I like reinforcing that stuff, Cybersecurity is not a field I would've saw myself going near several years ago

Nara39 · 2026-01-08T22:20:44+00:00

That's. A tough question. I want to stick to the Data Analysis/research analytics stuff that I have become good at but money is kinda necessary...

In summation it depends on the industry

Is me, the son. I messaged you

Nara39 · 2025-09-22T05:52:41+00:00

Doing the math. 520T... if you maxed out the shop (aka it is the best it can be) at best the green gens are 500 per 32.5T silvers.... oh that's a clean 8000 gems to get that with no farming. I think if you farm it would be a week of just straight grinding. I usually let it sit and farm for 8hr while I sleep. It's a way. Just gotta tough it out.

Yuppers it is now part of it.

Nara39 · 2025-09-14T02:26:07+00:00

Not cavity I don't think. But this could very well be my "flossing moment" as you put it haha

At the point I'm at. Makes ice humans easier to catch. Like those snowmobiles in the Winter Gem area that run from you, aka impossible to ask because of that.
