don't feel too bad bruh

I had a friend of mine I knew for 20yrs kill himself cuz he was struggling to find a job

fucked up part was he did it the same day that I came out to his house to pick him up......I was gon surprise him and tell him I just got him hooked up with a fed govt job SMH

found out he killed himself that morning on Fri.........I got to his house that same afternoon, sheriff's dept had his front door taped up

he was supposed to start the new job on that following Monday.........so 2016 got a special burn with me that I'm gon keep for a long time

I just paid to have my resume and cover letter revamped. Hopefully I get a new job in 2017.

FYI, udemy.com is offering some really cool and in demand coursework for $10. Definitely a great time to take advantage of some of their better offerings for the low, while boosting your skillset! I've already spent $50 on coursework valued at over $800.

Its fucked up that niggas are even having to do that to try and get on. That's why it kills me when some of these white people say that White Privilege doesn't exist smh.

Does anyone here ever feel like location is a big factor in finding work? I'm starting to feel like being in CT isn't helping me at all.

I've been lurking this thread for a few months now because I've been interviewing, attempting to move on from my current position because the commute was terrible. I was driving a legit 60 miles one way each day from ATL to Northwest GA. Well, I just landed an engineering position in the city, so I'm now 15 mins from the crib. I used some of the advice and some of y'alls techniques during the interview process and wanted to thank everyone in this thread.
