Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

got laid off (feddit.nu)

six months after my last workplace went bankrupt, i'm out again. an international consultancy firm took me and all my colleagues in from the failing business and we got raises and bonuses... and now i've been let go. only me.

they've not managed to sell my skills anywhere for six months, so the decision makes economic sense, but... that just makes me feel useless. evidently the local office feels bad because they decided to pay out this month's salary in full, but that doesn't really help with the self-esteem.

after all the shakiness of the bankruptcy and being lied to about great numbers leading up to it, i just wanted some stability. but fuck me i guess.

...so how's your day?

It sucks but I've been told that feeding the offer to an LLM and making tailored job applications works better for avoiding those bad AI cv filters.

i tried that, the crazy thing is that the shit llms spew out looks like the same shit i write, but somehow it's statistically different enough that other llms rank it higher. strange times indeed.

I used a friend and shatgpt to reword my resume and get by the AI filters, but I'm thinking of just redoing the word salad myself. Though every time I go to do it I do something else lol.
