What was so difficult about it? The cost is higher but for the most part you pay the premium, get your card and keep it moving.

its a long story but let say it wasnt a positive experience sweetheart

I should've played the lotto last week. Gig #1 picked up my contract and made me a full time employee.

Gig #2 starts in 2 weeks. I think im going to waive health insurance for the rest of the year from both until 2021 and maximize Q4 earnings. I should be straight for 60 or so days.

Gong to use this weekend to paint this office space and bring in new furniture for my 2 desk setup.

Congrats

I’m in the same position as you. Making damn near 6 figures with my current contract job no benefits and start my second job in 2 weeks paying around $60,000 w/benefits and company vehicle

Today is actually the day i hit my 1 year mark at my job obviously if it wasnt for covid i would start looking for a new job now but because of covid and brexit i'm forced to stay to say how things really play out. I'm focusing on my own business but want to keep my day time job to keep my lights on hate the job but at least there is 0 micro management so these past days i've been doing my own business stuff when i have downtime. Does anyone have any certs they recommend to get expect for project management certs? my job used to be pretty good with paying for certs and training, i got lazy and should have got agile project management cert before this corona stuff popped off they have pretty much cut training costs but still want to to finesse a cert of two before i eventually leave this job

Back on 9/17 I applied for a role, was emailed two assessments and apparently failed them both as I was told I wasn’t a good fit for the role

Today I get an email about the same role asking me to take assessments, so I forwarded the email dude sent in September and told him I cried for hours based on what he told me

I feel like I have no skills.

I feel like I have no skills.

Don’t feel that way. What kind of work have you been doing? If you’ve been working, you can always pull skills out. Just have to be creative. If you want me to look at your resume, I can see what I find.

I'm in IT support and I'm trying to get a job with the same company I'm with before my contact is up in March.

I don't want to do to the same thing I'm doing now though. Also, the only possible IT jobs that might open up later (maybe) are more advanced.

So I've been lurking the internal job board and I've begun reaching out to managers and people in the types of roles I'm interested in. I'm exploring going into technical writing. I was a good writer in college, but that was a long time ago.

Gather a list of skills/technologies you think you'll need based on the positions you're interested in and see what free or inexpensive resources are available so you can start learning on your own. Your local library may have access to a lot of online resources if you're a member, so that could be a good place to try. The hardest part for me has always been narrowing down what I want to do because IT is so broad.

Mannnnn after today, my advice would be to know Salesforce like the back of your hand if you’re looking for something to focus on and build a career. I’ve been interviewing companies for this marketing automation thing I’m working on for my company and all the people that have ample experience are $100-$125/hr and I got sticker shock when I seen that
