“There are no jobs inside your computer. I looked.”

Well, look again, because it is the ONLY way to look for a job now.

I remember the Sunday NY Times used to have a big fat section every sunday, filled with want ads for jobs of all kinds, at every level

In my recent job search I bought the sunday Times and searched it page by page looking for the want ads.

2 pages (literally 2 pages) with print so small that if you really were interested in the ads you’d need a magnifying glass.

Mostly computer stuff.

If you haven’t looked for a job in a while, as I hadn’t for over 20 years, all I can say is you have no idea what it’s like.

It’s Craig’s List or nothing in my experience.

Did you find a job there?

These job aggregate web sites are SO FRUSTRATING.
Who knows what algorithms they are using to match you to a job?

I had one field engineer job app rejected because I had no experience in retail sales or music.

WTF does any of that have to do with fixing electronic systems in the field?
