Currently working a remote job that I hate. Management takes micromanagement to a whole new level. They’re based in the US so I get paid in Dollar but I also don’t have any legal protection....
I know a lot of people give out about them but I’ve had a lot of luck getting into various recruiters over the years.
They do their best to find a role for you and they don’t just chuck any old job at you. They don’t get paid if the person they placed ends up leaving so they have to make sure you’ll at least last six months.
Also I hate the site but LinkedIn is very good for finding roles and for being found by companies and recruiters. Get that up to date with any experience and qualifications you have and set up some job alerts. The automated applications are a dose, haven’t had much luck with them myself. I normally just find the roles through LinkedIn and see if the same job spec is on the company’s website and apply through that.
Not a bad idea getting a community set up there. If the community kicks off we’ll need mods.
I think it’d be handy if more people contributed as well. I’ve noticed that it’s the same few people posting news articles but we have a fair amount of people subscribed.
I think people shouldn’t be afraid to post in the subreddit, as long as it’s Ireland related any content is welcome.
Personally work in IT, mostly fixing server and infrastructure. Big fan of listening to ambiance music while working: the kind of music and sounds that make you forget that you’re listening to it, to me, that’s the perfect kind of working music. Otherwise I will listen to game and movie soundtracks from Lotr, Star Wars,...
I searched up “Lemmy” on the PlayStore and noticed that Reddit appears right before the last lemmy client in that search X3 do u guys know if there r any other lemmy clients worth trying? I randomly felt like trying all I could find and for now I’ll stay on Jerboa and the Web UI but I use Voyager too now, mainly for DMs...
They’re paying for the use of the Boost app that the developer themselves created though? If they were charging for a Lemmy server I’d understand the point but they’re paying for a client that they don’t have to pay for. If it brings more people over to Lemmy then we all benefit really.
I also paid for Boost because the UI beat out all the other clients that I tried, replacing Connect which was my favourite at the time. It felt the most like Relay that I used to use on Reddit.
Mental. Dunno why anyone would take the risk tbh. Ignoring the fact that it puts other people at risk, the guards are out in full force testing over the holidays!
Did you see the Northern Lights last night?
