If you ask me for a dollar, I LOVE YOU.

Why yes, of course I want to keep working for you and give you money. Why shouldn't I work my minimum wage job FOR YOU while you choose to sit on the street. I mean you could pick up trash, or look for work (like any of the million under the table labor jobs around here), or literally do anything to bring value to the community and society around you. But nah.

Please keep doing drugs, please keep begging, please keep leaving your lovely poop surprises.

What I love even more is all the other people like me who support this, because we're too inept to understand that it's not circumstances, or lack of opportunity, or lack of resources, but that you just choose to not lift a finger and simply want everyone else to support you.

God forbid you do anything of any actual value. Keep choosing to do you fellas.

Side note, I think we should bring more and more bears in. Balance out the natural habitat. Give the forest back to the actual animals. At least their shit fertilizes the land.

Before anyone starts saying how I don't understand about those "less fortunate", I've been homeless. For a while. Still didn't beg and constantly get wasted and call people hard R's. And it wasn't hard at all to find a side gig.

Resume General

Resume AgTech

So I've sent out around 500-600 applications (Indeed, LinkedIn, WellFound, School Handshake) over the past month. Whenever I find a somewhat food science, sustainability, or agtech position, I send out my AgTech resume. Otherwise I send out the general resume.

My resume style is going for the modern americana burger joint style. Almost like a food menu. Meant to be easily scannable by the eyes.

I haven't received any phone calls or bites yet. I'm on the East Coast of the US (between Philadelphia and NYC).

I'm applying for any entry-level or internship role I can find. I've also applied to a few defense/clearance jobs, but I've been a pretty regular pothead for a few years. I stopped about 2 months back, so I figure for the next few months there's a pretty low chance I'll be sponsored by a company once I tell them about my history (just weed, nothing else).

Some things I've noticed which I think contribute to this:

• No network (the big one). I don't really have friends (or even references), so I don't have a network. Just personal issues with socializing, and also I commute about an hour to school, so I don't really have any opportunities where I'm at. I'm going to try a bit harder in my last semester of college, but at this point I don't really know how to build connections besides superficial questions.
• Resume bullet points don't really highlight impact. Just responsibilities. But all the projects/jobs I've worked on don't really have any metrics I can use (the ones listed are sort of bullsh1t that I ballparked and put, just to have something). Any projects I've done have just been for myself (in which case, they are more creative than problem solving). The jobs have just been drone positions where I simply do what I'm told, with no autonomy (but I highly desire that).
• I have a foreign name, but I'm a US citizen. Every job app asks if I'm a US citizen or if I need sponsorship, so I figure it's not necessary to list that I'm a citizen but idk.
• The AI trainer is just the Data Annotation, Alignerr type work for coding projects.

The only thing I think redeemable about my resume is that the JobTrackie project was a capstone course where I was in a group of 8 people, and I did pretty much all the work except for one other person. But the commit history pretty much shows I'm the only one who did anything. There are no metrics or impact to use. I mostly worked on frontend and deploying the project, but it had no actual users and didn't really function.

I'm looking for any and all help. Once I get on EBT, I'm going to try and utilize my state's job placement services, but I remember when I tried to use them before there wasn't anything available in my field (some IT stuff, but they wanted certs and things like that).

Honestly, I probably couldn't pass the interview, but it would be nice to at least have an interview so I can practice. I'm not getting a single reply :(
