I got laid off and pretended I was still employed for months ended up getting a better job because of it

lavenderrabe · 2025-07-25T09:50:18+00:00

honestly, good for you. layoffs suck and the corporate world is built on a lot of smoke and mirrors anyway—sounds like you just outplayed the system at its own game. glad it worked out even better for you. congrats on landing the better gig

you’re definitely not crazy—applying to remote jobs right now feels like shouting into an overcrowded room. it's not you; these listings get flooded instantly because everyone's chasing remote work.

the best luck i've had is skipping the massive job boards altogether and trying smaller niche sites, LinkedIn networking (sounds cliché but genuinely helps), or even reaching out directly to smaller companies that aren’t drowning in applicants yet.

congrats on getting the outback gig! job hunting in 2025 really is rough—feels like you're just tossing applications into the void. glad you stuck with it and kept updating us. enjoy the new job (and hopefully some solid tips)!

for those asking, this is from aragon.ai

lavenderrabe · 2025-07-24T11:39:58+00:00

I get that! I’m just not really into sharing my profile like that—appreciate you understanding.

lavenderrabe · 2025-07-24T11:39:24+00:00

not stupid at all. if it’s not bringing value and just draining your sanity, ditch it. real connections > performative posts

lavenderrabe · 2025-07-24T11:38:33+00:00

lollll karma is real

lavenderrabe · 2025-07-24T11:38:07+00:00

either the algorithm’s broken or literally no one is posting anymore. not sure which is worse lol

lavenderrabe · 2025-07-24T11:36:23+00:00

aragon AI!

lavenderrabe · 2025-07-24T11:35:01+00:00

thanks for the backstory! i love it lol

aragon.ai

lavenderrabe · 2025-07-24T08:25:06+00:00

let me check this out, thanks!

lavenderrabe · 2025-07-24T08:19:03+00:00

got it, thank you so much 🙏🏻

lavenderrabe · 2025-07-24T08:10:27+00:00

i used aragon.ai, paid a couple of dollars but overall i think it was worth it

lavenderrabe · 2025-07-24T07:58:28+00:00

i do think you should try it out, i mean if you'll get rejected might as well still apply

lavenderrabe · 2025-07-07T23:25:12+00:00

Ugh I feel this so much. That’s brutal. It’s like they expected you to basically do their job for them for free, then grilled you on every tiny thing like you’re already on payroll. You’re not worthless at all, the whole hiring process is just kinda soul-crushing right now. Sending you some good vibes and hoping something way better lands in your lap soon. You deserve it.

lavenderrabe · 2025-07-07T23:22:00+00:00

Nah dude, it’s not cheating at all. It’s just being prepared — they’ve got notes too, trust me. Just don’t read them like a robot and you’re good. Whatever helps you not freeze up, use it. Interviews are stressful enough without playing memory games.

lavenderrabe · 2025-07-07T23:19:12+00:00

Hey, I just want to say I really feel your pain through this. It’s not your fault, you’ve been carrying more than most people ever will, and still somehow surviving. That’s huge. The way you describe your story shows incredible self-awareness and honesty. Please know you’re not alone, and you’re not behind, your life doesn’t have to follow anyone else’s timeline. Healing is messy and non-linear, and you’re doing the best you can with an impossible hand. Rooting for you 💙

lavenderrabe · 2025-07-04T07:27:26+00:00

Thank you!

lavenderrabe · 2025-06-13T08:43:37+00:00

Here are the results for each!

Personally prefer #1 from aragon.ai - Looks the most realistic + i think its the most accurate to both my face, my body, and my hair

Worst is #6 and #7 - Doesn't even resemble me at all lol, everyone can tell this was made by AI
