Seriously. I'm everything you mentioned, and I have plenty of friends. They actually worry if I'm not sharing random anecdotes. Or call me out if it's annoying.

Applying to job openings isn’t a lost cause, but it is a lot of work and can take a while. I suggest you continue doing that but augment it with other approaches. Find a “best employers” list for your city and use LinkedIn to reach out to current employees asking for their advice. They might know of an opportunity, now or in the future. Read the feed posts on LinkedIn and follow the people you like. Ask them for connections. I just got a job because I saw “we’re hiring” on a post by a woman I respect; I went to her company’s website, applied for an opening, and ended up interviewing with her. Go down as many channels as you can think of - online and in-person - because you never know where the next opportunity might present itself.

100,000 people isn't much for a "major" city. Thanks for the tip, though.

Especially for those living countries that don't have PO Boxes

Oh shit so that’s why I’ve never seen a homeless person in a car wreck. Those lucky ducks

Not sure if it's a status symbol to anyone but you.

I would never get out of bed though. If I had to get up and be immediately faced with the worst part of my day I would just lay in bed for as long as possible.

This! LinkedIn is so robotic. Contacting the company directly just seems more personal. I applied to nearly 500 jobs to get my first one. I only ever get calls from companies I reached out to directly. And easy apply is just a complete waste of time - don’t do it.

I feel this, particularly now. Bad shoulder and elbow from a crumbly neck I had MRId last week. As a kid I had two constant pillows. I’m now 49 and in agony from the wrong pillow. Any recommendations gratefully received.

30 applications per week at least. My last two jobs took 400 & 700 applications. I could have found a job more quickly if i was willing to apply to any job in any city, but i wad looking within a specific field in major cities only. Regardless, you need to grind.

This. I didn't use any web extensions but applied for nearly 100 jobs with very little success post college, which was highly discouraging. I visited with someone who looked at my resume for me and advised a section at the top for technical skills (i work in IT) where I can basically add buzzwords off job requirements that I have done before. I immediately started hearing back about job applications it was crazy. Please feel free to PM me if you want more advice.

Bad advice. Numerous times in high school I’d walk home and accept rides from people who stopped for me. They were all people I know.

On my way home through my 4 years I had my English teacher stop, my tech teacher stop, my workshop teacher stop, and few of my friends parents who also offered to give me a ride home.

I was walking for the work out not because I had too, but I always took them up on it since it was a nice gesture that showed they cared.

And to answer your question about “them not asking for a ride, and why are you offering it?”

It’s because they care about their safety. If I saw my niece walking along the street alone, I would without a doubt ask her if she needs a ride and if she was okay. If I didn’t, then I am negligent.

So what’s your backstory? You got in the car right?

I’m having a wonderful day. Hope your day gets better friend. Have a snickers

Oh, thank you ! I'll try getting them soon, they might be wasteful, but as you say, it can help with getting the hang of things ^^

Hey friend, I'll stop smoking tomorrow.

Well I had one offered us help, since we were carry a 65" tely xD He took it in his car and delievered it to the home adress.

r/ShittyLifeProTips is struggling for members so they’re moonlighting over here

I always try to be. Where I live tho in my area we all help each other. If I were in a bigger unfamiliar city I probably wouldnt stop honestly. In my community tho there is very little risk and Im a 6'2" 220 lb male with lots of combat training. I am Probably much more dangerous than whoever I am helping if I wanted to be.

lollll let your mind take you on wild rides of imagination.

Awesome! 😎👊
