Quit, new job didn't work out so I came back through the doggy doors. Still applying though

>>37855185
What's the job?

You went from having a shot at a normal life to extreme poverty tier.

The new job was a technical sales engineer at $77k+ bonuses. The fucking managers told me that I would mostly be in sales and not required to have an engineering degree, but after a while it became too obvious that some knowledge in areas of engineering was needed

>>37855432
What is the new old job? The one where you are now making $11/hour?

>>37855462

Merchandiser. Literally glorified stocker

>>37855432
>technical sales engineer
>didnt think he'd need to know some bit of engineering
Are you retarded?

>>37855506
I literally asked the HR, sales manager, regional manager, then all 3 in the physical interviews that I wasn't engineering adept, but they said I would mostly be talking to clients so it wouldn't be a problem

>>37855554
You must be pretty normie or something

>literally meet every job qualification for basic bitch office drone jobs I've applied for
>all of them want at least an AA, and I have a BA
>gone on several interviews
>first couple were ok, but i felt great about the last couple
>still no job

And thes are 30-40k jobs in a high cost of living area.

I'm guessing you're not doing the socially acceptable eye contact, prepared your answers for common questions, dressed properly, and being talkative

How do you live off of that? I make $10k/mo post tax and I'm comfy but not great. I'd die if I were making under $20/hr

>>37855642
the only thing I can thing of is lack of eye contact. Maybe a little slow answers, but that'ssort of related to the eye contact.

It literally disrupts my brain and I cant think straight.

It's stupid, because all of these jobs have you talking on the phone anyway.

He probably lives somewhere different than where you do. Oklahoma, for example, will accept 3 potatoes in exchange for a month's rent

>>37855646

I have investments.

>>37855698
You need eye contact when interviewing unless they know first hand that you're autistic

>>37855779
No, I live in SoCal

Why are you posting this a full 6 months later? How much are you making today?

>>37855062
Anyone making less than 70k a year isn't in a "career" sweetie. You're a wagie.

>>37855432
I don't get it. Was it 17$-18$/hr or was it 77k/year? Huge difference.

>>37856132

The new job was $77k
>>37856082
Most of America don't have careers then. Hell I guess most accountants don't have careers
>>37856069
Do you think six months would have made a difference
