  I used a wrench to tighten a nut on the bottom of my kitchen sink, so that the faucet was held in place. That’s a tool, right?

    My mini socket wrench kit is one of my favourites. :)

  Four years ago, I was bored and talking to a friend of mine, joking about starting a scientific equipment business in a small niche (geophysics) where there was effectively only one competitor in our national market. Easy to disrupt. To my surprise, he said yes and we went all in. Still just the two of us, but I guess I didn’t have to apply for that job, just have a fortuitous connection. Now I do the science parts and he does the business parts and it works great! Probably we will hire this year though, and it’s very likely that LinkedIn will be the place we advertise.

  The last tool I used? Does email count? ;) Ground Penetrating Radar.

    My old job was servicing niche scientific equipment. Glad to see you saw that opportunity - there are a lot of shitty products out there selling for five or six figures, and often running technology multiple decades out of date.

      I need to hire a service technician this year. Someone with soldering skills, most likely. What skills did you use to get your prior job? What were you taught on the job? Pure curiosity.

  I got my current job which i quite like on indeed. I applied for a job i wasn’t qualified for, had an interview, and they liked me enough to offer me a job that wasn’t listed.

  Uhhh, I mean the only tool I’ve used have been indeed and LinkedIn. I have a baller resume though- not in the sense that it has lotsa good qualifications and work history on it, it does have some, but the automated filters and shit love it

      I really like the TENK (Finnish National Board on Research Integrity) template. That got me a grant, my current job, and I’m currently negotiating my next job.

  I was extremely overqualified and had automated my work as a contractor and when that was discovered instead of getting fired I got hired upwards to be a support agent for the app for the entire company running them.

  I dunno. Jobs and applications are weird. I think it’s mostly on knowing people.

    absolutely! I was told at a career workshop that simply being recognised amounts for as much as 80% of hires.

    And yeah I can definitely see it, when you go out to buy something you’re probably going to buy the same things as you did before aren’t you?
