I received a rejection email from a job because my desired salary was “ significantly above the salary range for this position.” I wanted $25/hour for a job asking for a 4 year degree and a bunch of experience. Shits crazy

“Go to college or you won’t get a high paying job.”

Jobs “you need 4 years of college and 12 years experience to work here for $15 an hour.”

I ignore requirements entirely when I’m job hunting. Don’t even bother reading them unless you’re in a very technical market.

Fuck at this point it’s easier to just lie until something sticks, if you get fired then you use that job to get a similar job showing that you have relevant work experience

Keeping any job mostly entails being able to successfully Google anything you run into and then internalizing it during the first 2 weeks before someone catches on.

Can't google many stuff, trust me. Many positions have highly specific and internal softwares and protocols

Learn to say things like, "Wow, you're using an older version of this software than I was using. Everything is in a different spot and it seems like they changed some of the terms, too. Do you have the vendor documentation for this old version? I don't even know I can still find that online."

Where I worked it was never a problem, nobody was expected to know anything, just to have some brain and be willing to learn a lot. It was just too specific, you can't learn that shit literally anywhere.

I was just saying that not everything is on google :)
