… and now I’m job-hunting in earnest and jfcsstrrssfgchujbgfryhgftyhgerswww. I hope this is the right place to vent about this sort of thing, but I’m feeling so incredibly stressed and frustrated because I really want to change careers (TEFL teaching is a dead end, and the conditions have got so much worse in recent years) and I know I could do a junior frontend job perfectly well — I’ve put so much with into getting good at it in my own time — but it’s beginning to dawn on me that there’s basically no way in to the industry unless you know someone who can help you get a foot in the door.

I don’t know where I’m going with this tbh — I just needed to vent somewhere — but it would be nice to hear any advice anyone can offer, or even just the lamentations of anyone with similar experiences…

Yeahhhhh, so many opportunities are with the government. Thankfully some are with the less evil parts of it, like I actually applied for an internship with the unemployment office which I guess isn’t directly involved in much evil. But idk maybe that underwear company will get back to me.

The employment office is evil in the reasons they use to deny people benefits

Could do some good in that role by flipping some rejections into approvals. Have a little “glitch” that just happens to help people. Just don’t get caught!
