I’m sure this must sound stupid for many, but I never get any responses, until like 3 days later when I check my spam folder and realize my scheduled interview appointment came from some random server that got deleted as spam mail.

How the hell do people get jobs online? I’ve only ever landed a job in person.

    Honestly, my resumé does need a bit of a refresher, but I also think it would start looking more like a scattered mess after 2017.

    I used to work in computer, tablet and cell phone repair, for a lousy fucking $10 an hour though. So I got sick of that and basically quit when I started getting side opportunities to occasionally fix hotel door locks for $20 an hour, but that was randomly sporadic.

    These days, I get by with whatever odd jobs come up, which range from occasional vehicle repairs to helping elderly disabled people get on and off the toilet.

    But I’ll be damned if I’m about to go back into fixing $500 devices for a lousy $10 an hour, when one single accidental slip of a soldering iron might cost me an entire week’s pay.

    I’d rather sharpen lawnmower blades or some shit than gamble with fixing expensive ass devices that I’d never even use myself.
