Now it’s called Bill.

I’d only recently noticed the change, because my multipicture and short video sends were failing less often.

I’ve wondered, would that be pronounced similar to “Shitter” or “Exiter”?

NYEH HEH HEH!

Carrots with a proper flared base?

Well, companies can’t hire you if you don’t apply. Do your best and make them all tell you no, rather than expecting it and not trying.

Just know that it’s often not your fault your application didn’t make it through. It’s half an exhausting lottery. I’ve had pristinely written CV and letter with family and career counselors editing it not get anything, and applications where I found spelling mistakes after were interested in interviewing. Companies tend to have hiring seasons where if you apply at a consistent pace, you’ll get no answers some months and many answers at other times.

Even recruiting itself is a hellscape, you see corps getting recruiters, laying them off because “they don’t need em anymore”, then all of sudden they need more staff but way more than the recruiters they have can handle.

it’s a feature for employers

You’re absolutely right about that.

Ah yes, I wonder if anything happened on the 65th day of April, in the square close to the place which the sun rises…

While DDG uses Bing’s results, I wonder how much the two will diverge in terms of results as MS incorporates more AI bullshit in their search, if that will creep into DDG’s results as well?

Layoffs are what caused the long queues to begin with. Event organization and operation makes it seem closer to an average American Black Friday event than a job conference.

I think I figured it out… only rarely you’d get immediate interviews, but the idea is you get LinkedIn contacts to chat with later and industry insight, and something to tell recruiters/hiring managers that you did, but you dress it up in a way that shows you look for opportunity like “I met members of [industry/company] at a recruiting conference in [town]”. I found industry conferences to be more useful than jobfairs in this respect, but those can be a little to a lot expensive.

Otherwise it’s pretty much just being told to scan QR codes, business cards and maybe getting a couple plastic cups and pens.

All in all I say job hunting is such an awful game.

If we had proper public supports for people between jobs, students and immigrants looking to find a way to live and/or not get kicked out of the country, this wouldn’t be a problem.

The whole job hunt feels like a rat race, it’s practically common recruiter advice to apply for stuff that you don’t qualify for on paper, send out as many applications as possible and take every chance you can get. So I can see how people can apply these ideas to participate in spaces where they aren’t encouraged to apply.

This is compounded by the pressure put on people to even live without income for short periods of time.

I’d say I’m privileged, yet it took me a year of looking to land something in my field. I had money saved up and enough supports to keep costs at a minimum, I’m aware I’m lucky I was even able to be in this circumstance.

We need smart and capable women, trans and nb people in the workforce, and we need resources to overcome the barriers they face. I’m just saying that it’s not easy, even without such barriers and also with comforts that are not afforded to many.

Welcome. Glad to have you here!

Well I know I have no expectation of privacy here, but I’d rather open source LLMs train on my words along with proprietary ones, than some company hoarding information and selling it to each other.

Thanks to AI, I guess Michael Jackson isn’t dead after all…

I liked some of them. I still wonder how many were Amazon’s random relabeled crap like AIUEO.

Thanks Steve Ballmer.

Yeah, I was visiting Seattle at a tram stop, I could hear an ad from a gas pump going off from halfway across the street… obnoxious af.

It’s a lemmynsfw account, so I’m fairly confident they would be engaged in other “activity” than commenting when using that account. Unlikely to be a bot.
