Oh, I’m on the job market. Maybe, for the first time really. I’m slowly looking for a new job. I’m having one (two, three, four, five!), so I’m not too rushed, but I’d prefer to find some great team to join. That’s my primary goal now.
Jobs
I’m having five full-time jobs at the moment. Let’s count together.
Kids, the most exhausting one. Any parent won’t argue.
Farm. It’s mostly closed now, almost entirely. Yet, there are many things to do, to say it’s entirely closed and finished and said my final good-byes to.
Job hunt. A separate full-time job on it’s own. I absolutely hate this process. Sometimes I think I’m to fail and just stop moving, and would accept any job proposition.
I accepted one from a local friend, he’s having his own industrial company. And I’m into this type of companies lately. It’s semi-startup, and I’m joining mostly because I know all-too-well I can help them to kick-start their digital presence, but I don’t see it as something too serious. However, I expect it to suck me up for a year or two, easily. The farm took even more, yet I never considered that something profession-related.
I still have some responsibilities at that TOI & Dixi company. It’s nothing too serious, yet a couple of days back, we agreed I’d have an intensive month or two, since we all want to upgrade their website. I’m super pro this, since I can advertise that as my porfolio work, and try some modern things too. That could suck me into more than a couple of months too. On top of that, I want to offer them to completely reimagine their inner infrastructure. I don’t like it very much, but I’m not the one who decides, so I’m seeking how to explain the boss it’s in his best interest too, to have things modernised. It’s a long story, I’m going to write extensively about, when the time comes.
I won’t say it’s a job, but I’m working on my websites and my personal knowledge management system. Which is the same one task in my book. It’s more like a hobby task, but it’s super huge, actually. I just realised it’s very effective way of channeling my working-through-information energy. Otherwise, I’m consuming the information without any benefits, and I cannot reliably stop doing that. I did try, but at least till the war is not over, it feels super dangerous thing to do, stop following what’s happening all around.
Since we’re into the full-blown WWIII, as the US administration being incredibly incompetent bunch of idiots, their society being polarised and a huge part of it actually having no values they boast so much to appear to be having, and their general line of being pro-Russia (what a losers, huh) … they’re accelerating the world into the real WWIII.
I’m trying to come back to healthy eating, at least partially. And I’m doing some futile efforts to return to being fit and strong, not too exhausted. Not a job, but takes my focus wildly.
Weird Positions
But initially I wanted to mention completely different thing. A couple of months back I’ve applied to some job position, it was quite close to what I’m good at, and they declined me, quite quickly, without any consideration. Then, a few days back, I’ve got an automated email saying something ‘hey, we’re looking for [exact same position].’
Fucking morons.
I hate this so fucking much. This job seek is the worst from this list. They’re looking for a professional, the one writes to them, they don’t even take an effort to interview one, and continue to spam everyone further. And I’m in a pretty much not my best fit at this very moment, and since they’re locals, that means quite a positive thing for them, I can accept a not-the-very-best job offer just because of that. They’re clearly not able to fullfill my ambitions, even close. Yet, I’m open to many even remotely interesting job opportunities at this point. Not that I’m desperate, but I’m clearly working with the guys for whom I’m too overqualified, and I don’t enjoy this. So, again: they seek someone like me, yet when I write to them, they make no attempts to interview me, just decline and start looking further. I wish them to never find their candidate.
I’m just so sure that by the point I’m in a better shape, not many companies would have this opportunity to successfully job offer me, I might decline most of them by being not interested. But when I’m not in my best shape, I’m seeing these mediocre companies, all these job seeking situations, and I’m finding it quite ironic. I think that’s keeping me sane, this irony. The world is so much broken in so many ways.
