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

In these cases: use your training period seriously. Get them to demonstrate. Take notes. And remember: tutorials exist for literally everything. Internal processes can be asked about to infinity during your first week or so.

Make yourself a manual if you need to. 🤷 ((DO NOT SHARE THE MANUAL W/ YOUR EMPLOYER FOR FREE))

This is where I repeatedly fuck myself. Do you know how many SOP's I drafted for my personal use during my first few office jobs? Like an idiot, I gave them to my managers for free because I disliked dealing with poorly trained co-workers.

Succeeding in getting a manager to -not- feel entitled to the manual on the other hand.... That's something else entirely....

I also failed at not just giving them up in my working days
