  • Know people.

    It’s literally the only way.

    Go to job fairs, talk loudly about your skills when out and about and with anyone who’ll listen (I know a literal expert that does this. He works in multiple sectors including a couple different governments, has like 8 jobs making an absolute killing), meet people online, go back to school, attend a church, anything that let’s you get in front of people and talk about what you (can) do.

    And if something is in your ability, but not your professional experience lie a little.


  • There are worse things than saying “no.”

    Companies aren’t hiring people without experience, and it’s cheaper to not bother upscaling your employees and just leave them trapped in their current job.

    No one cares if you show up in person to ask for a job anymore, and if their hiring system is all online it can even be a bad impression because it indicates that you can’t find information from their website and follow instructions.

    This seems like the kind of boomer advice my dad thinks still works and hasn’t worked in decades.
