Comment on How do I actually find a job that isn't retail?
HikingVet@lemmy.ca 2 days agoWell, 2 years ago when I was looking for a job and tried the same thing, I got told the don’t take resume’s unless there was a specific job posting. And I was asked if I saw a position advertised. Then asked to leave the business when I said I was following advice like this.
You hit a one in a million.

I don’t think it’s luck. What probably explains more of it is that I was applying for a job that involves getting your hands dirty in a company with less than 10 employees.

And me applying to the same sort of postion in yhe same sort of company means you really are just working with confirmation bias.

I’m not making any statements about universal truths here. I’ve simply followed the advice given to me and gotten good results with it, so I want to spread it forward. I’m just trying to be helpful. That seems to have been a mistake.
This is such a Lemmy moment again.

Well, it seems most people on lemmy find it to be bad advice, and they seem to have gotten there by trying it.
So thanks for creating the “lemmy moment”
