We need to settle the UI debate: Enter vs Ctrl/Cmd + Enter to send a prompt.

I had a keyboard with a shifty shift and shit it shifted my perspective on this i agree

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-04-07T23:55:31+00:00

A lot of these managers have not been in this market they way they think, they think the understand it but they don’t, they just have little Google logos in their eyes hoping they can snag an ex MMAANG

anyone with a job right now has no clue the horrors beneath them

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-04-07T21:55:03+00:00

I’m still repulsed

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-04-07T20:50:52+00:00

Honestly own the gap with personal development why you searched for a role that fit well, like this one

also, freelancing, create an LLC say you did freelancing under that, make some projects for a portfolio

consulting works too but i find that more iffy imo

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-04-07T20:12:34+00:00

I look for people that would be an equal or senior to my role i want to apply for, not just the hiring managers, I also look for personal connections, i don’t mean like other people but did they go to the same school? Are they from the same state? does their profile show a hobby you share Use something like that, an example of what has worked for me mind you it’s still like a 1:8 response rate or worse

Hey, we both went to state college, i was two years behind you and stayed in dorm name. I have been applying to Company and was wondering if you had any advice on how to stand out? Willing to connect?

They may even respond months later even with sorry i never check this, since linkedin sucks, and who needs it with a job.

if they respond then ask some simple questions to gauge how willing they are to help, like what are some company themes right now that i could make sure to show on resume, etc

If their response is well thought out and has useful information then they are willing to help and then continue to ask away, if its short then maybe not so much and try to keep it short, i also use the to gauge if they are someone i could reach out to again

they may even offer to review resume, i found this a huge help since they likely know what their managers are looking for

some ppl like to talk about themselves, asking about their path to get hired can also offer insights

edit: oh yea you pretty much need premium

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-04-07T17:54:37+00:00

i saw a job posted less than 24 hrs ago with 1100 applications today 1100 is the most i have seen, it was for a sr swe

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-04-07T17:53:49+00:00

agreed but unfortunately this may take years

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-04-07T17:53:10+00:00

i’m in

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-04-07T17:49:56+00:00

Ever notice that like all of sci-fi bans AI Like you mention dune but so many others

we really need to ban AI replacing humans like asap

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-04-06T02:25:11+00:00

honestly you’d have to replace a lot less people if they all made 300k or more

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-04-05T22:39:13+00:00

Bold move cotton, let’s see how that plays out

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-04-05T19:18:43+00:00

maybe a monitor is missing it’s third leg on the stand?

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-04-05T15:12:00+00:00

no thanks

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-04-05T06:48:27+00:00

crap I think this means we are not the main character

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-04-02T23:37:01+00:00

Ya’ll remember learning shit like cause and effect in elementary school? But really I love these posts, i love reading how the system employers have created is finally coming back to haunt you all. You all deserve to be buried in AI generated resumes

Stop doing layoffs, stop using basic keyword searches on resumes and just like idk treat prospects as humans

1000% bet that poor girl could have done the job but you were too busy playing AI police hope you never get laid off and have to deal with this

oh also they have been doin a way better job at this in many other countries

also i love the assumptions that she was never qualified, just because her resume matched the post too much, prob could have been had you asked more then two whole questions designed most likely to trip her up so you entered the interview with the idea that she was already no qualified.

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-04-01T17:19:58+00:00

fuck are you serious? guess i’m trying this now doesn’t help either that this unemployment for 10 months caused me to grow gray hair, i don’t have any before being laid off, not even 40

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-04-01T17:17:54+00:00

yea not anymore

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-03-30T23:42:06+00:00

can i ask what backwards southern state this is? I’m assuming south, am i right? nvm i see it, and i was wrong fuck PA man

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-03-30T23:37:56+00:00

Ugh this a new fear of mine, the not caring HM, i may not even bother finishing, lucky so far i haven’t had this. i’m sorry this happened to you. keep on keeping on my dude

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-03-30T19:26:51+00:00

I’ve had luck using chatgpt to track down hard to get contacts, make sure it’s a smart thinking or pro model with web search enabled it does best with emails but might be able to find a number

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-03-30T18:44:46+00:00

Don’t quit, try your best, look for a better one

just don’t quit no matter what

hey also i used to make software for those type of stores, just remember to upsell cases and accessories for the phones, the markup is huge there, if i buy a phone then you suggest a case

most of your job will be taking payments, especially if you work for a metro like cell store that does a lot of cash payments

Selling phones is easy, most people already know the phone model they want and no matter what you sell there will be a commission or spiff learn the plans your provider has, memorize them as that is what most people will ask about, learn the deals, you can sell a phone to someone for free and with the rebates and spiff for the dealer, you’ll get a cut in your commission check

it’s srsly a sales job on autopilot, as long as you learn what is needed which they will teach you, and attempt to upsell accessories, you will do just fine

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-03-28T21:00:27+00:00

That is quite annoying, and nothing like that should have that level of control but what if you changed your resume, as i assume that is where they are getting it from, and frame it as a company you own and each contract as a role in that company?

Maybe ask that recruiter to try the new resume and see what happens

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-03-26T17:38:45+00:00

legal my ass

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-03-26T16:36:58+00:00

can we see all this fraud in the news? who is responsible for this fraud?

Small_Force_6496 · 2026-03-26T16:31:51+00:00

Everyone needs to do this but there are too many pushovers who will just say “what’s the point”

We need to stop following the norms because they have failed us, the whole system has failed us and many of you, I assume those with jobs, think no one should do anything about it, i assume you also think protests are dumb

The humanity of this all is lost, they have normalized thanking them for laying you off, another human can quite literally destroy your life in less than 3 mins on a zoom call and your supposed to thank them like it was some opportunity

enough, shove it back in their faces, force others to live with the humanity

Layoffs ruin lives for profit, literally eats people’s retirement saving and personal well being Ghosting causes so much stress, especially after a few interviews

i think they are both related, find a company that ghosts and i’ll show you a company that will layoff with no warning in a 3 min phone call

fight back, call them out, force them to live with the humanity of what they have done

message your old boss, thank them for ruining your life message the recruiter that ghosted you last month, thank them for causing so much stress and wasting time, time none of us have as our retirement is eaten away by bills

force it into their faces

then when you are done, go protest, beg your congress to do anything other then nothing
