I think it was when you told elphenor that he doesn't have a right to complain about the job that he's using to support himself through school because he could learn skills at the job when it's boring.

So other than doing what I've said before (Joining the right Groups and networking in the real world), do you have any suggestions that haven't been mentioned already?

I know how it works and have explained how it works, but your gonna be mad no matter what. That's why you and Elph constantly deflect from reasonable advice cause "white people do it111".

I didn't act holier than thou. You won't accept anything else besides me being just as miserable as you, and you interpret anything else as me acting holier than thou.

It's not like I go around bragging about what I've accomplished. You make it personal every time to discredit the message via the messenger.

When you're not trying to deride me for trying to do better you're telling pet and Ant they "just don't understand." It doesn't matter who the message comes from, you will reject it. But since you can't actually mount an argument against it you attack the source instead.

You haven't mentioned real world networking, you've only been pushing the Facebook angle his whole time. I'd say that real world networking is the most promising. Below that I'd put scouring job boards to apply for jobs on the same day that they're listed. Working with staffing agencies is great too because they'll have a lot of positions that they'll send your resume to before they're even posted on a job board.

A lot of people say that going into a place you want to work at and asking if they're hiring is valuable, but that's dated advice as everyone just gets annoyed and points at their website these days.

When is the last time you've tried to get a job as an individual?

Show, don't tell. What you've shown has not been very compelling.

I mean I've had plenty of people tell me I'm being too hard on myself, I've had Lucem say the things he's recently said to me before, I've had this conversation with DWV many times with as much **** talking between us, and this amount of bull**** never sprung up. I have family who says the same **** you do and yeah that's a trigger for me too but I know what's up with their glib assertions that sound totally reasonable but are backed by ego and superiority. You got that same **** about you that's more about being seen as someone worthy of giving advice than someone actually giving advice.

1. I did talk about real world networking in previous posts. It just got glossed over cause I started talking about FB earlier today.

2. I agree about staffing agencies to some extent. Every city has headhunters and specialized recruiters too. They tend to be smaller than the big agencies, but they follow a similar process.

3. About 2 years ago. I got an opportunity out of the blue with Thrive through a community group on FB. The head of HR in Grapevine had posted to the community about needing someone who met certain criteria (and who loved digital media), and I got interviewed the next day after hitting them up on Messenger after responding to the post. Ended up being a great springboard to what I do now.

Hahahahaha. I literally gave examples of private groups where good stuff is going on in FB and your just like "its all bots and spammers bro, don't even bother". I guess you really showed me.

You are way too hard on yourself. That's why I don't get your attitude toward me at all. I showed you a road sign with some good information on it. If you don't want to go this way or that way, then just go whatever way you want. You've already shown me that you won't really take advice from anyone because your just gonna project and then reject it anyway.
