The reason I don't buy booze and limit snack buying... if it's in my house it is going to be consumed quickly.

It's like a challenge, it's there, it will be consumed.

and more.

You have no idea what my keyboard looks like right now, may have to replace it.

Man... I used to listen to Lost Prophets a lot in college.

Never again, can never revisit any songs ever.

There is a radio version and uncut version of the song.

The uncut version has some extra... vocals in the bridge which is what this post refers to.

Starts at about 3:26.

Starting at said time:

Remote, hybrid and on-site... everything. I am applying for everything.

Basically, I am applying for any role I have done previously and recently.

Junior, mid and senior roles.

There are loads of IT roles that overlap, so a lot of different things I can do.

I went all out applying in about August last year and I am at about 550+ applications.

I've probably put in about 30+ today alone.

I've had about 6 interviews and only 2 of them were from applications I made, the rest were organised by recruiters that contacted me.

Spoke to an old colleague of mine that did a similar job to me, he got the axe from our company after I left and it took him about 300 applications to get 3 interviews and then finally a job.

Unfortunately for me, I took a role in a niche area because I needed a visa at the time and moved onto another role afterwards but I have too little experience in that area to land another role in it.

So, my main focus is too long ago to land a role, my latest experience is too little to land a role, and my main experience is too niche for me to find any roles.

Speaking to a few recruiters and they all say the same thing, 300+ applications on every role they advertise.

I have a few saved cover letters that cover certain role types.

I either copy and paste that in or attach them.

Regardless, getting nowhere with the job search. The job market is cooked.

edit -

and this just popped up in my feed.

Pros: I don't have to sneak around like a criminal just to get a plant.

Skunks are cool.

Cyclist meets family of skunks

Kind of like the Doom Slayer.
