Literally who

did you give the boss a firm handshake and ask for a job in the mailroom?

Some guy who's full of himself, high on turning down candidates for a job position, tells us how bad the candidates are and that we all have a chance if we just apply ourselves, when in reality it's his company and the job position that sucks that's attracting flies to a pile of shit.

That guy has been on here for years and made a pretty good guide on what components to get at certain price ranges.

He's a hiring manager for some malaysian company. He had a thread a while ago where he found out that less than 1% of applicants were qualified, and the one who got the job could do the bare minimum.
However, his company could only hire Malaysians so of course they're going to get a bunch of idiots applying and can't hire westerners who actually know a thing or two.

I've honestly given up and im considering a career change into some tradeswork or agriculture or something. I'll do programming as a hobby maybe. It's clear im not wanted anywhere in the tech industry

Same.

Currently unemployed, former software "engy" here. Sometimes I chuckle thinking of all the pajeets and fresh grads stressing out at work, going through the daily grind of fixing bugs, putting up with management, etc.

Sure there's that asshole making $200k, but for every asshole, there's a bunch of suffering peons that nobody sees and wants to talk about. It really is a multi-level marketing scheme, if you think about it.

I remember one night driving to work and having a break down when I thought "I could tell you exactly what I was doing 3 years ago because I'm still doing it" making the same commute to the same dead end job, treading water making no headway. I might as well be a fucking robot etc. Etc. I was seriously thinking about running myself into a tree at 70 mph that night.

Did you guys try to rice your CVs with some certifications? Any cert could get you hired by some soyboys corporation and it will bring you better salary than the common code monkey...
Look up ITIL, AGILE ... I'm not saying these are actual useful stuff, I'm just saying compagnies value this shit.

Honestly it's on myself, my github is fucking pathetic

Virtually everybody's github is "pathetic" because they don't work in open-source on github as their full-time job. Many of us have or have had dead-end jobs that went nowhere and just paid the bills.

No mine is hello world tier shit because I'm lazy and lie to myself that I have no imagination in coming up with a program to write.

>have the best tools since the dawn of human history to create your own job
>don't
you have no-one else to blame but yourself

Even if you wrote some open-source calculator webapp, recruiters will still laugh away your resume and portfolio. Again, you need to have a full-time job that pays a salary and benefits which has you work on some open-source project on github fulltime. That's why github is a charade.

spread your job search horizons. Your local area is probably a shithole and you need to move somewhere else.

The trades also require a lot of practice and have positions where they are looking for people with 5+ years experience. It's also hard to compete with illegal immigrants that are good at the job and willing to work for less than the minimum wage.

What jobs are you applying for?
What is your field of interest?

Have you even seen some of the questions he gives on interviews? It's common logic and problem solving

Same, I just don't know what to do.
Being a simple dev is shit and doesn't pay out. I'd be fine with the job if it wasn't so abused and you weren't used like a slave. Then I thought of getting into ML/AI but that seems to be mostly filled with some statistics nerds.
I've been looking at security next, but I don't know anymore, kinda losing all hope

Legit, I guarantee I didn't get this because this Asian kid didn't like how I looked. Never experienced cancer like this before.

next time stare back to establish dominance maybe stick out your front teeth squint your eyes and start making hissing noises

This is what you get for wanting to work in the core tech industry and having no other skills so you can program for a people outside of tech.

I knew since the beginning that tech industry is awful, I'm so happy I didn't gob for it

I have coding interview to implement a small API, what the fuck does that mean/how fucked am I?

Coming from a guy enrolling into college for computer science, this doesn't give me confidence. Guess I'm going for engineering now.

an API is a retarded buzzword meaning interface that's accessed over a network. so in C instead of using a .h file you fucking ping a server for your functionality instead.

So I am just going to implementing functions already given to me?

Why haven't you filtered them yet? Do you like reading posts by attention whoring redditors?

The name of the game is being enthusiastic and likeable in the interview. I climbed from helpdesk at an MSP to IT Director at one of our clients in 18 months by being a likable, nice guy.

That's like 90% of it.

Define nice likable. Because there is asskissing and then theres ass kissing.

Just being friendly to end users. Going above and beyond to show kindness. Most bosses don't actually know if you have good backups that can be restored, but they do know if their end users are happy.

Being attractive and white with good hair helps. Then I just observed chads and adopted their behavior patterns.

Like the other guy said, you don't have to be a ass kisser. At the same time you can go beyond what is expected for the end user or customer. I was promoted in my help desk because of my attitude. Being white helps too.

Sorry bro but that just means they don’t like your personality

Where I work being compatible personality wise matters. company culture means something. T

It means you don't want to work there, because the company is basically one giant, high school clique.

Can I suck someone off to get a job or does that only happen in porn?

you mean "Sorry I'm a hetero white male"

You were their second choice and they regret hiring you.

Nothing's sweeter than mentioning a hobby project in an interview and hearing "oh yeah, I use that".

I'm not bitter & I'd rather the company be up front than be in an office full of people I would rather not be around.

That being said, how well can they know me? Seems more likely the person who throws around 'culture fit' as a disqualifier is on a power trip.

I’ve been unemployed for over a month and it weighs on my mind constantly.

they'll take you for filling the fag quota, and you probably have to suck dick daily.

I left the white out bc it's probably just as tough for nigs & pajeets. Hetero male is the nail in the coffin

Oh & don't be over 24.
...We celebrate diversity

They can kick me, why keep me if there is better out there?

They can bill your hours to the client even if you are a pajeet tier programmer.

Getting a job is pretty easy. Here's what you do:

1) Push a bunch of code to GitHub. You will at least learn how to use git. I just found a bunch of tutorials online, changed the code up a bit, then pushed it. It looked like I knew what I was doing, and I now have a portfolio.
2) Use LinkedIn like Tinder. Connect with everyone, no one really takes this shit seriously except recruiters. Set your profile to "looking" (there's some setting that signals to recruiters that you're available). Get your friends to endorse you for skills, write recommendations, etc.
3) Write up a resume on Google Docs. List every skill have or software you have used.
4) Get a personal website and blog on it with programming-related posts. This shit doesn't even need to be original or innovate, just something that shows you're not Pajeet-tier.
5) Go to meetups and whore yourself out. Here on the West Coast, recruiters hang out at these things and try to find people. Imagine yourself as the fat chick at a bar and recruiters are the guys who can't figure out that you've got Spanx holding in your rolls. They'll pimp you out, your job is to show up at these interviews after you've crammed on all the bullet points in the job description
6) Interview as much as possible. It's a skill to be a good interview candidate. You'll notice that they'll keep asking the same questions over and over again.
7) Specialize in something that has a lot of job offers. JavaScript, C#/Java, and Python are all hot nowadays. Something like AI and ML is too competitive and requires a significant development foundation to be effective. don't try and compete with the autists.
8) Take what you can get. Spend a year there. Keep looking, expand your skillset, ditch once you get a better offer.
9) Clean up your appearance. Get a haircut, shave your face or trim the neckbeard, get some dress shirts and slacks. Don't be argumentative in interviews or while you're new to a job. Shower daily.

Shit maybe this was it, the black kid looked kinda gay and the first interviewer seemed like 10% gay.

Hmm

Nah, better be homeless.

I wouldn't mind having someone suck my dick daily, especially in crunch time

I had a job too, university drop out.
After years I got completely fed up, dead end.
Quit job, get back in uni, work hard and I'm almost there to get my degree.
Just have to complete my thesis.
But confidence is lost, nothing, emptiness.
Every day in the underground thinking of jumping in front of the train.
Every day it feels more real, without even realising I'm taking steps towards the gap.
Maybe I'll be in the news soon

>3) Write up a resume
Stopped reading there
You don't get it I have zero confidence and self-esteem, I just stare at the paper or screen and can't write anything good about me
Now what?

Don't work IT in a University, lots of qts sure. I miss the corporate IT environment so much.

All you People who say to make your own job, what do you guys do?

Attached: 1492467911795.jpg (600x488, 58K)

My rule has always been, "Start with a lie then back it up." What do they want? Good customer skills? It doesn't matter if you don't have those; claim you do and then think of a time in your life where you can claim you did. Or do they want someone who learns quickly? Say you can do that, even if you can't, and then think of a time when everyone else learnt slower than you. Only if you really, really can't ever think of anything you have ever done to back up the claim should you not claim it. So don't say you've been running an office for 15 years, but if your boss went out and put you in charge once, then bam, put that down. This is how everyone else writes a CV; just do that.

what the fuck does any of this even mean

You have no one but yourself to blame.

I'm doing mechanical engineering and having a trade background makes me absolutely shit on the nerds that have no idea what they are actually designing, how it's actually manufactured or even have a basic understanding of wear and tear from general use, how to identify and rectify it etc. Take away thier computer and most people are nothing short of fucking useless.

he made some good guide(s) in the past, good on him I guess

so fucking true. most people are absolute fucking retards and i look down on them without feeling bad.

I do pity them and I have come to terms with the fact that they will never be as smart as me but sometimes it is infuriating.

I literally applied everywhere in my country.

State your buzzwords. We're looking Java, SQL, ReactJS currently.

The trick is to go to university or whatever (even if it's just an associates degree in the field) so you have thier equilivent "education". When you have a front line mechanical trade background and technical skills from uni (even a 2 year associate degree) you are looked at like a god.

Oil rig, $3000 a week (after tax) 3 weeks on/off (6 complete months of free time) are the jobs you can get with both of those fields behind you. Easy. That area of employment NEED the "dumb ass" tradesmen but also university educated people obviously. When they see someone with a trade AND technical background they will do whatever they can to hire you because you can potentially replace 2 people. If you are dual trade (I will be) that becomes 3. it costs 750k a year for 3 of those employees, so you can ask for something like 350-450 and get away with it. As opposed to 250k a year. I don't know where you work. My brother in law was on 450k a year.

Why do people like you think it is ok to demand all this shit of people who will only be able to get average salaries?

NEETs or regular wageslaves

What is an example of a good project?

It is no simple feat you can't just start a business out of the blue with virtually nothing and start making money instantly.

>You'd have to have a product or service in mind that would sell for starters
>You need the skills and expertise to provide the product/service
>You need capital for whatever expenditures are required to meet that end
>You need a medium through which to promote your product/service such that customers are aware of it
>You need to understand all the laws associated with starting a business
Even then there is a great deal of uncertainty success is not guaranteed.
Meanwhile being employed by a company narrows down the uncertainty, you know what you are being payed and when but you have to submit to the company's terms and conditions.

data structures isn't that hard is it?
most of the stuff like trees / heaps taught in that class should be basic knowledge
t. junior in data structures right now

Being white is easy and you know it. Shut the fuck up.

Try being told to look for "a job more suitable for your kind" at 17 times because you were born disabled.

Cry more op. You are clearly the biggest victem here.

I was born disabled, in a third world country, couldn't afford school so had to be homeschooed and get a g.e.d, then nobody wants to hire me and my mom has breast cancer. But your alcoholic ass is clearly the victem here.

You dont deserve to be alive

I know of a lot of people who freelance/contract hop, basically have something you can do relatively well that you can find out others don't have, and sell it to them.

I didn't think so but many did .. the class started with 80 only ~10 or so passed my class (myself included) .. weeded out the normies, soyboys, 'nerd girls' and pajeet tier pajeets which is nice.
Now all we have left are like I said: autisms, asians and decent pajeets

I assume as long as you understand how the data structure is used / behaves you should be 100% fine.. I think trees are what really did a lot of people in for some reason (I think they're the most fun to be honest)

I am white male in Western Europe, you cannot imagine my struggle.
