   This is my current experience in the industry but 18+ years experience. I used to always get callbacks with just my resume, never wrote a cover letter before 2023. Also I have a white man's name so they probably throw my resume in the trash immediately.

     @RapistGoku it's been fucking horrible for years, unless you happened to live in one of the big metro tech areas and had the hottest buttsex frameworks on your resume

     pro tips:

     • it's going to take hundreds of applications before anybody even bothers to respond to you; this has been the new normal for a long time, accept it

     • for every hundred responses, you might get one interview

     • for every hundred interviews, you might get one offer

     • everybody is going to flake on you in this process, as rudely as possible; expect to be ghosted regularly

     • expect lots of timewasting hoop-jumping

     • the best way to get a job is to know somebody where you're applying; your actual network of friend is how you get jobs

     that said, it is worth pointing out that your network of frens (here and elsewhere) should be helping you get that next job

     @VaxxSabbath @RapistGoku if you think you're being filtered for being White, add a Spaniard last name to yours.
