Up at 4am after the time change because I'm too stressed out to sleep.

Please please send work my way. I'm super talented and experienced in Python, data, and ML. I'm talking decades. It makes zero sense that my family and I should be on the verge of going hungry. I guess I just don't have the magical keyword combination to get the LLMs to pick up my resume. This is the dystopian future we were warned about. I'm certain of it.

I have a patent in NLP + ML. I'm co-founder of an ML startup. I taught myself to program at 12 from a manual, and wrote a neural network from scratch at age 16. I've been learning deeply about deep learning since before deep learning became a buzzword. I've invented countless novel ML algorithms. I'm an autodidact, National Merit Scholar, and autistic savant. I've spent literally 10s of thousands of hours studying ML *in my free time* on top of 20 years of experience with Python, data, and ML in the workplace. I know my stuff. I'm a badass. How the hell am I stuck being unemployed for 9 months now???? Please, ask me for my resume. Ask me for proof of my accomplishments. Ask me for references. I can produce all of these things and will happily do so! Don't skip over me just because I have an unusual life and career trajectory! I can do the work. Not kind of. I will knock your socks off! Give me a chance to show what I'm capable of!

If anybody can take a look at my resume, or coach me on my job search, I would appreciate it deeply. It makes no sense. I must be doing something wrong, but IDK what. Please help

I *love* it, but it's unusual, you will need to find a pool of people open to working with you (I am trying very hard to do this myself) who do not expect you to be more conventional.

It's really difficult.

@CartyBoston I've been contemplating throwing the whole thing out and just using the one Indeed generates, because I worry about whether all the bots can even read it. Maybe I can do that and just include a link for humans to my *real* resume once I manage to get in front of actual human eyes.

I am in the same situation. Have been applying for at least 6 months and getting no bites. So I have set up a meeting with someone I do casual work for to help me refine my applications. Reach out to someone you have worked with. I would help but I have a zero success rate 😬

I’m a building scientist and architectural historian. So I research, write and teach architecture. I can’t get a full time job at the only university in my state because they’re not hiring. I’m looking at other jobs at this stage, anything really!!! Don’t want to move though….

@SeaFury a resource I found super helpful in my recent job search was this guide from @askamanager. It gave me really good questions to ask in interviews and helped me reframe my approach to them resulting in getting a job I’m happy with https://www.askamanager.org/how-to-guide

the Ask a Manager guide to preparing for job interviews — Ask a Manager

If you're like most people, you struggle with preparing for job interviews and feeling confident going into interviews, so I have a free guide to help

I realise in retrospect why I don’t interview well. I wasn’t good at playing the interview game, telling them what I thought they wanted to hear.

I was going to mention Ask a Manager if no-one else had! Another regular reader here.

As well as Alison's advice & the resources, it has one of the best comment sections on the net. I recommend the Friday "open thread". A lot of chat there about jobs and job-hunts.

@SeaFury 🦜🍉 , @Aaron - I know it needs extra headspace, but perhaps starting some e-learning publications could build a side income, not depending on the whim of bosses? A combination of non-corp streaming services (#peertube) and donation channel (#liberapay) work for many. We, at https://kinowolnosc.pl are soon upgrading both the VPS and storage size and will be happy to help you.

Working out of Texas. Happy to work in later timezones, usually PST, for remote positions. I can't commute long distance till I already have a job and can get a 2nd working vehicle, and there is nothing nearby, so I'm pretty much limited to remote positions anyway.

My thoughts would be to concentrate on LinkedIn and recruiters - Fedi is miniscule. I can see you have very small contact number on LI - reach out to anyone who you ever worked with - even a conversation or two at the any of the old jobs. Post that you’re still looking: your post is already few months old. Ask your contacts if they know any decent recruiters.

One job board that feels decent is: https://us.welcometothejungle.com/

Good luck!

@MachineLordZero Thanks! That idea has seriously crossed my mind. It feels a little unethical. Then again, so does using automated systems at societal scales to make decisions that determine who gets to eat and who doesn't.

Those systems are harmful and it can be argued that you have a moral obligation to break them.
