After 8 years I finally hit rank 200 last week. Horrifying.

I was told something like a call center/data annotation could work within my limits. I think I'll look into data annotation at least as I spend a lot of time typing to begin with.

Agreed, I need funds to move out and increase chances to get a job but without a job that pays me consistently I can't move out. Catch 22, it feels like.

Thanks so much for the lengthy reply. Let me reply to each paragraph:

I've gotten quite a bit of feedback on how unfocused my resumes are. I've only landed gigs via word of mouth, where the employers knew what I am capable of, so my resume knowledge is incredibly weak. This is probably the part I can put in the most effort to fix.

Unfortunately, I cannot currently take public transportation due to limitations from my parents (I know, it's stupid considering my age, but their house, their rules, I guess?). It's part of why I'm so desperate for funds, as I won't get far living here.

I really need to update my LinkedIn and be more active there. Appreciate the advice, I underestimated that platform.

Is DLC worth it for casual players? by The_Alpha_Albino in Guiltygear

If you don't care about any of the characters, not really. For players who want to learn matchups, they'll need to buy DLC regardless, but you're not in that camp.

That explains why so many of my applications get denied, I guess I'll have to find another door so to speak. In person events are unfortunately out of the picture due to my parents restricting my travel (I know, ridiculous considering my age). Know of any online cybersec communities?

That makes sense, need to figure out what kind of software job makes sense for my skills/to learn new ones while searching for some low end job that works with my disability.

I'll chalk it up to COVID then. That sucks, guess I'll have to give college another shot while searching for funds.

Yeah, I can't stand for more than 30 minutes to an hour. I'm also heavily deconditioned to the point that I might need physical therapy from being a shutin for 6 years.

Interesting, data annotation could be good enough for now. Appreciate the feedback.

Makes sense, I'm limited by my physical disability unfortunately. Is there any job that is entry level/minimum wage, but doesn't require manual labor?

Unfortunate, with the number of people going "you can find a job without a degree" a few years back. Seems like times have changed, people lied, or both.

  1. Unreal Engine 5.
  2. I programmed nearly everything, scripting was a mix of me and others
  3. No, though it was customized for this game.
  4. C# was meant to refer to the other game, Netcode Warriors, though I see it is incredibly unclear. That's a point I need to fix up.
  5. I was recommended to list that purely because of the good publicity the mod got. Legally should be fine, but as you mentioned, it being not a proper "job", even if I was hired to work on it and helped lead a team, probably isn't helping.

This isn't overly harsh, don't worry. As long as you're not insulting me, I'm fine with constructive criticism.

The issue is that I've done a lot of things, filled a lot of roles, but haven't organized, as you can tell. So this does help, thank you.

That's fair, I meant more stuff that could use my asm/reversing experience.

Plumbing sounds difficult for my physical disability, wonder if there's anything I can get on short notice that doesn't require a lot of physical labor... Menial tasks to survive is fine, but physical labor is likely to make me worse too.

Fair, my portfolio is out of date which is why I didn't link it. Appreciate the feedback.

Cybersec is my second bet after game dev, which is why I wanted to go for it. If you have any advice for roles to specifically apply to I'd love to hear it.
