DEAR INTERNET,

I am currently seeking work but not having any luck in the Raleigh/Durham/Cary/Chapel Hill/RTP area of NC. I've only been looking for about two months and I hear it usually takes about three months to find a job but it's hard to afford rent when you got no paycheck coming in every two weeks.

I've got my A+, Network+, MCP, and MCDST certifications and about 3 years' experience in helpdesk, desktop support, sysadmin, technical writing, os image building, etc other things

WUT SHULD I DO??

THX IN ADVANCE

  1. This is why you save. Don't stop building a reserve just because you land a job. You might get cut.
  2. I prefer the landing strip to the horns, but any coif looks good on a nice box.
  3. Cut your expenses.
  4. 6 months is closer to average in CA, and in this climate you should figure on 12. You can contract, but you have to fight your handler to get assignments.

  1. My savings are holding out marvelously for now, I'm in zero danger of going broke for another month and a half, especially since I've made a good solid effort to slash expenses and bills
  2. She's got that in like every set of pix i've seen of her, it is like her trademark
  3. See 1
  4. I gotta get picked up by a handler first I believe

4. I wouldn't recommend contracting. Working as a man-whore is not going to look great on your resume unless you're also applying as a cocksucker. Get used to being lied to by your pimp/handler, your Johns, and lying to get what you want- billable hours. Be a whore.

If you're really going to hold out well, then hold out! A few tests could turn that MCDST into some flavors of MCTS. You'll actually hit a real glass ceiling if you don't have a real BS, but you don't have the cash to do it.

tl;dr- Don't do something impulsive that you'll regret later.

So far what I've been doing is basically sending my resume to every job board, every craiglist posting, every IT recruiter in the area, etc, and hoping for a response. So far
I've gotten a few call-backs for temporary work and the like; usually so far away that i'd spend in gas getting there and back what i'd get paid, or with some REALLY FISHY stipulations like 'each user whose monitor gets replaced must sign off that they are satisfied //or I don't get paid//'???

I hope to receive unemployment to the tune of 390/week but I'm still waiting on the date for the hearing since they disqualified my initial claim after determining that i was 'seperated due to misconduct'

70% of workers here at Wal-Mart/McDs are over 35. And they get less than 390/week.

Game employers like you're gaming a gold digging whore. Get a cellphone and mail delivery box w/ fake street address where the action is. Stay with friends if need be for that first 30 days. Use their mailing addresses. You don't have to lie about where you live- just display the trappings of success so that you can get in that interview.

You're also not likely to get called back about failing an interview unless it's government. Don't whinge about that.

If you do interview government, be prepared to be interviewed by a panel of 10% workers, 60% management, and 30% "diversity" employees. Learn to pander to the people who have the most pull in that panel: management, women, and minorities.

No such thing as an interview. Only paper applications now-a-days, old timer.

Learn to milk the system any way you can, since it's not going to be around for very long. Collecting unemployment is good. Try to get on food stamps too, one can live like a king this way.

Start talking to homeless people about their average day, how they acquire water, food and shelter, as well as their self-defense techniques and how they remain undetected if they're squatting somewhere.

If for whatever reason you don't eat meat, drop that shit and start. Eating meat is training for when we need to eat each other.

Take care of your feet. Get used to walking long distances.

This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.
