Hey all, I desperately need a job, preferably in a helpdesk position, eventually going into sysadmin or devops. Any tips on landing a job (at this point any job)?
I do not have Linkedin, I hate that platform but I dont know if I should make an account on it. I dont have GitHub cause fuck microsoft. I have my own website, but dont really have projects to show off other than years of selfhosting services, as I'm not a programmer, though I know scripting e.g. bash and such. At most what I have to show is a month of internship in a company's IT department. I have a nicely formatted LaTeX CV with my custom domain email and website linked. The website is handcrafted html, not tailwindcss or whatever else bloated garbage.
I have no clue how to apply or where. I also need to lie cause all of them want years of experience, which I kinda do have, but not officially, so if anyone has tips for lying would be great. Thought of pretending to be a small bussines owner as others recommended this here by making a fake company digital footprint but I'm unsure how effective it is. It sucks to be qualified largely and yet ignored because of the college requirement.
I'm failing college right now and will drop out because of the shit circumstances i'm in (financially and itherwise) so I found that even if I'm hypothetically a fit for the job quite well because I dont have a degree they just dont answer, how can I unfuck myself out of this situation? Feels hopeless to just keep bleeding out money with no end and only getting worse. So any advice on getting a job (of any kind at this point) including how to lie my way into one or what tactics to use idk anything would be of great use.
Thank you!! 
Probably should make LinkedIn, but also you shouldn't.
What you'll want to do is upload your resume on indeed and monster. You start getting spammed with calls from recruiters about roles you aren't interested in, and eventually you'll have to move ahead with one you can tolerate for a year (maybe two but hopefully not).
As you know, once you have a role its 500 percent easier to find the next hop. It's ideal to accept a role in the industry you want to be in, but the company and job dont matter as much since you are just grinding XP anyway.
I've mostly just looked on Indeed and occasionally applied without an account, didnt know about monster; I thought recruiters only gave you offers if you were way more important than an absolute beginner with no work experience.
Yea I just want a position so I can at least get 1y of experience and then have my life easier switching
Dice and ziprecruiter are good too
Thank you! I'm in Europe so I don't know if ziptecruiter is available(?) from what I saw from a quick search but I'll check them out
No they absolutely will come at you for all kinds of positions, a lot of them are "playing the numbers game" and won't even read your shit.
This may have changed in the tanking economy idk.
Huh I'll try and let you know how it goes! Seems a better approach than despair posting on Linkedin lmao
