#jobhunting

Hey #Adelaide. Is there a #jobhunting hashtag?

I'm currently looking for a new job - management at current gig are making some very questionable moves, and I need to get out of there.

At the moment I'm managing a Labware LIMS. Would be happy to keep doing that - just not in the place where I am now.

I'm not expensive. I'm looking for part-time work. At the moment I'm at 0.7. Would go to 0.8.

I'm pretty flexible with what I can do. If you're a crime-boss or similar who needs someone who will solve problems (not in a hit-man sort of way) that would be a pretty ideal job for me. Think Vincent (Jean Reno) in Ronin.

I can also touch computers - I'd rather just stick to Linux servers, though. Windows desktop support would be fine, but the direction that Microsoft is heading doesn't really inspire me. (To continue the Ronin theme, I could be your Gregor (Stellan Skarsgård)).

I have an engineering degree that I've not really used for a long time and I'm pretty handy when it comes to hydraulic calculations in pipe networks.

If someone wants to pay me to write and take photos, that'd be a dream job, but I don't know how to make that happen.

Would happily pour beers and shoot the breeze with patrons in a quiet pub somewhere.

Want me to lead a bike expedition somewhere? I'd be into that. Or take people swimming. Or general tour-guide.

I could probably be a pretty decent farm-hand. I've restrung balers, can drive most things, and know how to mend fences.

Anyway. Please let me know if you know of anyone who needs me.

Job seekers "feel unable to stand out, knowing that hundreds if not thousands of other applicants had almost identical CVs, and had likely produced very similar cover letters with the help of AI."

Recruiters are "bemoaning that so many applications fit the bill so precisely that they don’t know how to filter them."

Highly educated young people (even those with STEM subjects, it seems) spend months applying for hundreds of jobs, often unsuccessfully.

And because people's cover letters and CVs now look so similar, "personal connections" are becoming more significant again when job hunting.

Nepotism, anyone?

I am job hunting if anyone is looking for an #IT #engineer

I currently work in Mergers and Acquisitions as an IT specialist in the embroidery field, but I have experience with #Cisco #networking including their Firepower ASA and their switches. I am also an #MDM engineer and I am the team lead for SOP writing and development.

I would like to get back into a #datacenter job. I am comfortable with #travel and I'm comfortable with #parttime and #contract work if you have any recommendations.

I won't do defence companies though.

I wouldn't hate searching for a #job so much if people weren't so fake.

They'll make you think they're going to hire you, then choose someone else at the last minute for arbitrary reasons, or telling you to your face that you weren't chosen is too hard for them.

Which happened to me and a job I thought I had at a pot shop.

I'm starting to consider being a stripper again.

It's a job that's easier to get than as a cashier now, apparently.

I just had to be not ugly.
