    I have around 12 years and some change experience of working in IT, but recently got rejected from a job because 8 of those years were working IT in the Army.

    The people I were trying to get a job with said it didn’t translate. The resume I put in with them had no military jargon in it, I explained the software and hardware I worked with, and for my reference sheet made sure to only include civilian contractors, General Schedules, and the professors from CompTIA, Microsoft, Cisco, and Google whomst I got my certs from so no military personnel, but they still said I didn’t have the ‘correct’ kind of experience.

    What the fuck happened to the job market, gamers?! Like the job market now feels like the dating scene and every single person you wanna have a relationship with is either only looking for a hook up or has stupidly high standards or both! What the fuck do you mean my IT experience in the Army isn’t the ‘right kind’ of experience?!

    Bitch out my dick.

      It’s probabky the SoS. Act like they were going to hire from the outside, but they were gonna promote the guy that already worked there for cheaper anyway.

        Or it’s AI

        Actually Indians

        Thats the solution in my country… make an impossible job posting, reject everyone, whine to the government, import indian and pay 50% of their wages while the federal government pays the rest. Also, they can’t say or do anything to assert their own rights or their TFW closed permit gets torn up and they get deported…
