lee - no pronouns :v_greyace:<p>Found out today I passed the final module of my retail course! Just need it to be moderated, but once that's out the way I'll officially have level 2 qualifications in customer service for hospitality, cleaning principles, and retail principles. They're very low level qualifications, but something to put on my CV that will hopefully help 🤞</p><p>7 months of studying and I'm finally DONE. Honestly, I'm so glad to get it out the way, and I can finally focus on more interesting things - think I'm gonna start by learning how to use my camera and information for more tours at nufc 😊🐻</p><p><a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/JobHunting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JobHunting</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/studying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>studying</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/qualifications" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>qualifications</span></a></p>

SimonM<p>It's strange how the job market ebbs and flows. <br>This week, I had no interviews at all. There was very little new on the job boards. Yet out of that little, and after chasing up a lead that I thought had gone dead, I find myself with 3 interviews next week. Two are 1st round, the other is a 3rd round. <br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/jobhunting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jobhunting</span></a></p>

iCode2<p>Hey, guys! </p><p>A quick update on my job search: no job still. Interviewed with a software and analytics company 2 weeks ago for a remote position. And despite completing the task I was given in 3 days, I was still turned down. </p><p>I have sent out a truckload of applications along with my resume, but nothing is happening still.

Yvan<p>I won't get my hopes up, but it's a good end to the week to have found something that's such a good match. It's going to be one of the best chances I have. (They actually also have a management role going which I could probably just about fit into, but really, I want to write code dammit...)</p><p>Whilst it's actually my very weird CV that makes me, IMO, an ideal fit for the role... also my CV is my key weakness for any software engineering role. Hopefully they can somehow see through the middle of this.</p><p>Meanwhile, I have had a building, raging, headache all day... I don't really get headaches. So it's really pissing me off.</p><p>Gonna start CW-ing all my <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/jobhunting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jobhunting</span></a> drivel, it's getting a bit much. This space is my only outlet. This is all very stressful and depressing, as it is for many people in similar circumstances, in a harsh and uncertain world where the default mode is to crush people.</p>
