I saw the end of my job coming so I started up a phone where I was going to throw away the phone number after getting a new (part-time) job.

I signed up for ZipRecruiter which has done nothing but spam me endlessly, every day of the week, now along with two others with software bots pretending to be real people (recruiters, ostensibly).

Ran into a friend at the gas station a few hours ago. She’s working at a place very close - I may go part time there just to put some more money into tax withholding for the year and a small amount for me to take home. Dunno.

Not sure what I’ll be doing after the first of the year. I’ll try to ride out the snow with my SS - end of March is when it usually clears around here.

But I expected a FLOOD of offers - I have not been contacted by even ONE employer. I don’t post my full resume anymore - it was too technical and scared people off - plus I really couldn’t find work after 2008 (did do some small contract stuff in 2009). So it’s a weird situation.

"I signed up for ZipRecruiter"

Worst mistake of my life.. (and also Indeed)
Constant spam through email/text/phone/snailmail.
Had to drop that phone number and get a new one, block the spam mail, and thankfully, I have moved since then (and didn't forward mail).

Could it be that seasoned American tech applicants are being passed over for employment?
