Last follow up rant for now on the Linux job hunting. Recruiter called and said that the employer is no longer interested in me. Slightly sad but hey let's keep the chin up and continue job hunting!

Best of luck in your job hunt :)

@gitpush Thank! Already applying like crazy haha

@linuxxx it is annoying it takes time but luckily we get somewhere eventually. my first job took me 6 months of applying :\

I went from ): to (: because of your optimism. I am looking for my first job as a developer btw and haven't even landed an interview yet! So hopefully that gives you some peace of mind

💪

You have the experience, you have the skills, you have the sassiness! Sometimes it just takes longer! Keep that optimism and you'll watch these rants someday and giggle about it. 😎

@linuxxx next time include me in the tags, just for fun 👻👻

Seeing as you are jobless may as well come say hi in slack. Oh and keep at you linux user you.

It took me 3 years... Three miserable, painful, full of horror and agony... years. I've lost all hope. It was pure hell.

But finally. I have a job again and I actually like it. It's even better than any of my previous employments. It's not perfect, it's not heaven. But it's much better than anything I had, or even dreamt of having one day.

So hold on. Just hold on. Keep searching, keep spamming. And keep improving your salesmanship. Remember that any hr person or a recruiter don't really care about your skills or talents. They just want to pass someone to the processing queue and mark task as done (unless it's a small startup and you're talking to someone with brains). Keeping this in mind you can improve your chances of getting an interview and during one.

And unless you pass three years unemployed, don't you dear to lose hope!

@penderis I'm not jobless haha! I work full time and I will be back but that's when everything blows over :).
