Damn, dude. That's super shitty that you didn't get picked when you applied for only one job. I'm just glad it doesn't speak to your lack of initiative and ambition, that would be really rough for your future job application.
The only other one you'll do before you give up and fake autism.

I've applied to maybe over 300 companies and have interviewed at probably 3-4 dozen.

This was one I wanted the most.

Worst feel.

I got feedback about my candidacy. They felt I answered all of their questions really well, more so than most people. But they also felt I wasn't as passionate about the field as I should have been.

fuck

It was some group test.

works for me. Making more than my friend who graduated with a BA in compsci is hilarious. He makes $10/hr flat, has been working with the same company for months. The only thing he has over me is he can work from home.
>>
>>341779002
how do you know, were you there during the interview?
>>
>>341779192
Its because they think natives give bad luck to other people, so they lose more.

Depends where you live

I live in a South European shithole with 60% youth unemployment, I'll make some sacrifices to get a very good job

But I can't be a cuck for much longer

only when you get one and if your boss isnt a cunt

if you focus on the cash the job will just be shit. Focus on potential skills you could learn to take you to better places and the good cash will eventually come to you without it being the focus of your employment.

Anyway. Play a game you can really lose yourself in. For me, I play open world games or sandbox games or whatever you want to call them to accomplish that. Tomorrow, get off your sad ass and keep trying. I have faith in you OP, even if you are still a faggot.

Yeah, I've seen that happen before, too.
>>
>>341777460
How have you interviewed 3-4 dozen times and not gotten a job?
>>
>>341779635

When you get a job. The entire thing is a mess of needing experience but never getting experience and nepotism dressed up as networking.

Once you get a job don't stop job hunting. Job security is a myth and being a good worker is no guarantee of keeping your employment. I lost mine in April despite doing 20+ hour overtime every week. Fortunately the company is now suffering because nobody else wants to fill the graveyard shifts I pulled. Hopefully they become insolvent by the end of the year.
>>
You guys are making me feel shitty about quitting my $14/h job
>>
>>341780202
The tech industry is a fucking bitch.
>>
>>341776035
Anything really. Time heals all wounds. Keep looking for other jobs in the meantime, and once you get something, gain some more experience, and then try your luck there again. I did pretty well when I applied to Sucker Punch, didn't get the job though. So I'll stick here with this other programming gig until I feel I've got what it takes to try again.

>>341778475
Im in a similar situation.
Have no real qualifications, but a shit load of practical experience and two absolutely fan-fucking-tastic references that are availble online and directly from previous employers.

I don't actually think i'm as good as i'm told I am and probably lack the confidence to push myself further.

yet I constantly am getting approached by companies for work.

I know i have to advance in my current company or move up to another one soon or I will stagnate but I have no idea how and lack the confidence/motivation.
>>
>>341779341
Yeah I was right there in the office on break.

As I was finishing up he was still asking her questions, never saw her a day after, so if she DID get the job, it wasn't in the office itself.
>>
>>341780379
Not really, are you going entry level or already experienced?

If already experienced what experience/qualifications do you have?
>>
>>341780936
Entry level. It feels like dogs fighting over scraps.

then fucking say you have it. If not in an official capacity then elsewhere. Or just state outright that you don't have it but are a quick learner.
Holy shit it's like this new generation of kids is fucking retarded. No wonder none of you fags can get jobs.
>>

Okay cool, so entry level in network support or something different?

Also where you based? Not an exact location if you think im going to track you down or something just a rough area.

Do you have any qualifications?
>>
The job world is all fucked up now. Unless you know someone on the inside, you're pretty much fucked. Even shit tier retail jobs these days call for 2-3 years of prior experience.

Better rake in those NEETbux if you can.

>lying on your resume

Anon its mandatory experience. If you don't have it they immediately toss your resume into the trash. Lying about your soft skills is one thing but fabricating easily verifiable information is a real quick way to tarnish your reputation in the industry.

Make sure you contact them and ask for feedback OP
>>
>>341781449

And just give the manager a firm handshake right? Stop pretending you know what you are talking about.
>>
>>341782868
That can backfire on you. You could end up with someone who's super shitty, blames everyone for all their own problems and goes on 'sick leave' for 3 months twice a year and gets the non federal/union people who are good people fired because they are fucked in the head.
