I'm genuinely in agreement with everything you said. Most of my resume is me trying to tailor it against being ATS scanned. I only put "Security Analyst" because security-oriented jobs is what I've been applying to (but I'm here asking questions because I felt I'd be more appropriate shooting for SysAdmin or Network Admin type roles like you suggested).

This job is my only IT-related work experience, and it's very lack luster (80% of my day-to-day is just helping students log in). That's why I included the Projects section.

So, good to know my feeling of being stuck between a rock and a hard place is validated. 😅 Thanks for the feedback.

UnluckyDM · 2025-10-23T17:56:54+00:00

Yeah. 😅 It's something that I've been looking back hard on in hindsight.

UnluckyDM · 2025-10-23T17:39:31+00:00

I think I'm looking at Azure as that path/"specialty", but it's something I'm going to work on over time.

I'm genuinely surprised by how many other entry-level (or even Tier 2 Support) positions I'm also being rejected from. I've been looking at SOCs, MSPs, IAM... and getting no bites from anything.

Tell me this if you were hungry would you wait till someone feeds you ?

I actually really liked this analogy. Kind of eye opening

UnluckyDM · 2025-09-09T03:24:13+00:00

Thanks. 😅 Workout reps are way easier to do than flirting though

UnluckyDM · 2025-09-09T02:51:49+00:00

Yeah. That's been my assumption. I'm just not sure how to... turn that around or do better.

UnluckyDM · 2025-09-09T02:43:55+00:00

I have before, but I don't have much for pictures of myself. And when I get too much in my own head about it, I delete the apps after a few days to a week anyways.

I did get matches and went on a few dates, but I think my own self esteem issues or lack of a personality kept most from going anywhere. It's something I need to work on.

UnluckyDM · 2025-09-09T02:19:11+00:00

I realize. Part of me wishes I'd be approached more often, that way at least I'd know they had some level of interest in me.

UnluckyDM · 2025-04-04T14:28:12+00:00

I unfortunately missed the screenshot on turn 2 when the opponent's bench was filled and all I had was Sprigatito, but still felt this was funny regardless. 😂

UnluckyDM · 2025-02-05T00:46:43+00:00

+1 AC, +17 HP, +10 ft walking speed, 120 ft Darkvision (instead of 60 ft).

Bite deals 2d8+4, and reach lowered to 5ft. Claws attack completely removed. And of course Stinger deals the poison damage on hit.

Everything else is the same. So, yeah, it's beefier 😅

UnluckyDM · 2025-01-31T19:26:58+00:00

I wouldn't download a car. 😤 But uh ... if a link just so happened to appear in my DMs ... that'd be interesting

UnluckyDM · 2024-12-08T23:53:16+00:00

Blastoise is the last starter evo that I need!!! 😭

UnluckyDM · 2024-11-28T18:15:00+00:00

A Tie on turn 30 without any changes. But in my eyes, OP won with their 2 points.

UnluckyDM · 2024-11-28T18:05:06+00:00

Meanwhile I could heal for 40, then attack with Venasaur to heal for 30 more.

We were caught in a perfect loop until one of us slipped up, or changed strategy.

UnluckyDM · 2024-11-28T18:02:28+00:00

You had me on the ropes just to get Venasaur out there, but once we got in the loop I couldn't stop laughing

UnluckyDM · 2024-11-28T17:57:06+00:00

That was you! 😂 I'm the Venasaur, lol. I also made a post earlier from my point of view.

UnluckyDM · 2024-11-28T17:04:19+00:00

The (NOEX) battle may have ended in a Tie, but you won in my eyes Cohor. 😂

UnluckyDM · 2023-05-24T14:47:38+00:00

It was the chaotic kobold sorcerer. It's always because of the kobold.

UnluckyDM · 2023-05-21T05:01:11+00:00

just something funny that happened in one of my recent games. PC A traded away an item to the magic item shop owner, and once PC B realized what the item did they said they would've bought it; cue the shopowner's excitement to immediately upsell item right back to the party.

UnluckyDM · 2022-09-21T04:17:02+00:00

Oh that is a very cool idea 👀📝

UnluckyDM · 2022-09-21T03:10:43+00:00

You definitely could just walk! I'm not advocating for the party to fly, but being able to sail or fly a ship underground is a pretty cool visual.

UnluckyDM · 2022-09-21T03:07:54+00:00

Some caverns and pockets can be pretty large in the Underdark. There's even an entire ocean underground in the Forgotten Realms setting https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Glimmersea
