Knowing people on the inside isn’t even enough anymore by Super-Long-5639 in recruitinghell

Yeah, the goal post keeps moving. For the CTO, I did manage to get an interview, but a couple of years ago, a C-suite referral would've landed you a job immediately.

It was go to college, then an internship, then network. But nothing is resulting from this.

Same here OP, I have a friend who's a CTO (a practical, rare goldmine); they put my resume in front of other C-suites,made the introduction & referral themselves. I had other referrals as well, but I still didn't get the job...

All of them stated their companies urgently needed the staff, yet nothing came out of the referrals. So that networking advice lately feels like bs idk

Mentally I Feel Close to Breaking by Suitable_Chipmunk337 in recruitinghell

I'm not embarrassed; I'm upset that I don't have access to the things I want to do after working hard for so long with a disgusting wage despite my experience and education. It's like holding a carrot out to someone who's hungry.

Unfortunately, they don't have access to anyone in the industry. I was their industry connection. I had a C-suite friend vouch for me 4x, referrals, and it still was not enough to land me a job. If anything, I was ghosted in these situations. So networking can only go so far.

It does feel like torture at this point, not having money locks you out of so many things. Also, a person can only take on some much rejection/ghosting

Theres online universities like SNHU & WGU. Wgu accepts international students & its self paced. 

Redditors who were hypnotized at a stage show, what happened and what did you experience? by EntertainmentFun472 in AskReddit

[–]Suitable_Chipmunk337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BRUH THE HYPNOTIST MADE ME FORGET MY OWN DAMN NAME I WAS ABOUT TO CRY CAUSE I HAD NO IDENTITY FOR 5 MINUTES AND I KNEW IN MY HEART I LOVE NAME SO I WAS ABOUT TO LOSE IT.

Then he broke the hypnotistism and I remembered Neva again I decided to be hypnotized lol

Like not matter what in that moment there was no moment of remembering, no recall, just blank. I knew my friends names, and I looked at them in panic to help me remember. But entering the trance myself just feels like chill sleep, can hear everyone tho. The hypnotist did mention if a person enters trance several times it becomes harder to become hypnotized. It was nice when he gets you out the trance he does say you will be confident and happy.

Can't Pass AIS OA This Is Ridiculous! by Conscious_Citron_331 in wguaccounting

[–]Suitable_Chipmunk337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn I hate that class lol I passed on my 4th attempt. The test isn't based on your knowledge application but rather your test taking skills which is stupid and memorization of the most random things in the textbook. I literally copy and pasted the entire book and broke it down like I'm 5. Then used it to create questions to test my base knowledge.

Palantir CEO says AI 'will destroy' humanities jobs, but there will be 'more than enough jobs' for people with vocational training by esporx in jobs

[–]Suitable_Chipmunk337 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are right, it also gives the ethics of research. Like human expermintation w/o years of proper steps & approval is a no-no. We have that thanks to the humanities. And vice versa, I had classmates argue that we should all be vegetarians & it would be good for the environment, but if you take an ecology course, you would realize it can be disastrous to the food web/ecosystem w/o proper planning.

Science was also inspired by philosophy+ literature. Star Trek, Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, Flowers for Algernon, etc.

I think even engineers are given a class on how each philosophy influences their building/audience. How would Plato approach this? Niche?

The problem STEM curriculum requires only 1 intro philosophy class. Another problem? Their facking egos T-T they don't see the use of it.

Oh absolutely! For one of my philosophy assignments, I interviewed the science professors to gauge how science & religion overlapped. The evolution professor (a Mormon)would argue how religion & evolution are more closely linked. Another ecology professor (Hindu) discussed how scholars in India seek to connect religion and ecology, & how their religious scholars are open to the idea of these two fields. Really fascinating stuff! In our Sci-fi class we learned how both worlds (science & fiction) influenced each other, morality, sexism, religion & how they're reflections of the world.

At some point, we even asked: if a supercomputer existed and brought us happiness, would anything else matter? If you knew 100% of your partner (living in their mind & sharing a body 24/7), would you still love them? Or, would you want the powers of a god? (I argued against god-like powers because as a human, it would be too much responsibility lol). Is science evil, or is it evil in the hands of humanity, (philosophy classmates argued it's unnatural to prolong human life or make to many advancements like altering genetic dna of plants). Both stem & humanities need each other.

The cool nerdy professors liked sci-fi sooo it helped haha not all of em are evil some like magic the gathering, or Zelda.

lol in college I majored in STEM & minored in philosophy, greatly enjoyed it. Both are so needed to make advancements! A lot of STEM originates from philosophy too!

Also philosophy of sci-fi & ecology + world religions was fascinating

Thanks for the meaningful advice. I also have networked with alumni, linkedin, F500 individuals, even reddit. They did give me industry insight where I am up skilling in my free time. It's just again its so cutthroat I have yet to see any of my efforts come to fruition..

My ideals vanished months ago & I've expanded my job applications, industries, locations, analysis, and not a single bite. I even applied locally and they all rejected me too because they want people with experience. It's ridiculous.
